Start with the daily sale
List what happens from the moment a customer asks for a product to the moment they pay. A useful POS should make product lookup, sale completion, and payment recording easy for the people behind the counter. Ask whether products can be found by name, SKU, or barcode and whether the checkout reflects the ways your customers pay.
Check how stock stays current
A sale should connect back to inventory. Look for clear product quantities, stock adjustment records, supplier purchasing, and a way to notice products approaching reorder levels. If you have more than one store, ask how stock is separated and reported across locations.
Review reports and local fit
Reports are useful when they answer questions owners actually ask: what sold, what is running low, and how are expenses and customer balances changing? For a Tanzanian business, also confirm the payment methods, currency, onboarding, and plan details that apply to your setup.
