ALIDINA SYSTEMS

Point of sale software for Ugandan businesses

ALIDINA POS brings checkout and the records behind it into one business workspace. It is designed for retailers and service businesses that need practical control without losing sight of customers, stock or cash flow.

From checkout to business records

Record cash, Mobile Money, card, bank transfer, split payments, part payments and credit sales. Sales connect to receipts, stock movement and customer history so the team can follow what actually happened.

Inventory and purchasing

Manage products, barcodes, batches, expiry dates, suppliers and purchase invoices. ALIDINA POS also supports branch-aware inventory, transfers, pricing and reporting for businesses operating more than one location.

Choose a suitable package

Uganda packages start with POS Lite for a business that needs one user and up to 300 products, then grow through plans with more team capacity. Every paid business package keeps the core POS workspace; review published limits before registration or contact ALIDINA for an approved international commercial quote.

Choose software by following a real sale

For retail shops, supermarkets, hardware shops, boutiques, baby shops and wholesale businesses, the useful test is whether the sale and the records behind it remain understandable. Start with a product, select the customer when needed, record the payment and review the receipt. Then inspect the stock movement and outstanding balance. Salons and other service businesses can discuss their service sales and expense workflow. Restaurants and clinics should demonstrate their specific requirements before subscribing; general POS records do not establish specialist operational or clinical suitability.

Prepare for a guided demonstration

Bring a representative sale and purchase to the discussion. Ask to see the original record, the related history and the report you will use. Count all users, including the owner, and confirm the branch capacity you need. Preparing names, opening quantities and balances before setup helps keep your first records consistent. Agree onboarding responsibilities and support arrangements directly; a demonstration request does not create an account or book a time automatically.

Review the end-of-day record

At the end of a demonstration, compare the sale total, amounts received, customer balance and stock movement. Ask the person who will use reports to explain what they see. For a supermarket, try several products in one basket; for a wholesaler, include a customer buying on credit. Use a hardware or boutique item with a recognisable product code to check lookup. Discuss receipt output and the devices you intend to use before buying hardware. These examples help you evaluate the everyday workflow rather than assuming that every business operates in the same way.

Questions about your next step

Does ALIDINA POS process Mobile Money or cards?

The POS records payment methods, including cash, Mobile Money, card and bank transfer. Recording a transaction does not mean ALIDINA processes or settles the payment.

Which businesses should evaluate the POS?

Retail shops, supermarkets, hardware shops, wholesalers, boutiques, baby shops and service businesses can evaluate sales and operating records. Demonstrate any restaurant or clinic requirements individually.

How are counter sales connected to stock?

Recorded sales connect to stock movement and receipt history. Use a sample product to compare checkout with the resulting inventory record.

What happens when a customer pays only part of a sale?

The amount received is recorded while the remaining eligible balance stays outstanding against the customer. Select the correct customer before completing the transaction.

What team capacity can I choose?

POS Lite allows one total user; Starter two; Business five; Business Plus twelve. The pricing page lists the corresponding monthly costs and branch limits.

How should I prepare a POS demonstration?

Bring a normal sale, a supplier purchase and the report you need to review. Ask sales about setup responsibilities and the devices you intend to use.
