Madesoftlogic, an indigenous technology firm that designs software operation solution for various organisations and retail shops, has introduced ESOPOS, a cloud based point of sale, POS, free software for SMEs.
The solution allows business owners to assess their services and sales process from wherever they are. With the App, the entrepreneurs can monitor sales, inventory, employee activities, manage customer data and prints and sends receipt to customers.
Faith Imade, CEO of Madesoftlogic, told BusinessDay in Lagos that she is delighted on the opportunities the ESOPOS software provides Nigerian businesses who have not embraced technology in the day to day running of their business due to cash constraints, poor power supply and lack of basic technology skills.
“We discovered that one of the major reasons most small businesses avoid using POS is because of the cost of the software to run the operation and also poor power supply. We decided to come up with a solution that addresses this challenge. We are confident that our solution will boost productivity for SMEs.
“ESOPOS allows you to effortlessly manage all your business processes from pricing to inventory management to analyzing sales and vendor performance to managing offers. It gives a real time business overview from any location, all from the cloud using any device, be it a smartphone, tablet, laptop or a desktop computer. All ESOPOS features come for free without registration or subscription fee” she added.
“If you have a shop and you are not always there but there is a sales person, from wherever you are, you can log into your account through Android phone and monitor sales so far the sales person is equally using ESOPOS to enter the sales”
Imade said the new solution is part of her company’s efforts aimed at supporting Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria regarded as catalyst for economic growth.
According to her, the application also has a social market place feature that allows a network of businesses to connect online, meet new customers and increase sales via ESOPOS Social Marketplace.
“The market place allows every shop using Esopos to relate with each other. For instance, a customer enters a shop and the shop does not have the particular item asked for, the owner of the shop can quickly check other shops on the network within the vicinity, find out the price and get it quickly for the customer, may be with little price increase”.
