LipanaPOS

Description

LipanaPOS is a cloud point-of-sale system built for Kenyan businesses, with M-Pesa integration at its core. It sends an STK push from the till, confirms payment in real time, and auto-reconciles each transaction against its order, removing the evening spent matching M-Pesa codes against a notebook. The platform combines POS, payments, stock, staff, and reporting in one system that runs on phones, tablets, or computers with no hardware to buy.

Features include three-tap checkout with barcode scanning, variants, and split payments, live per-branch stock counts with low-stock alerts and expiry batches, live profit and margin reporting with a P&L, multi-branch management from one screen, role-based staff permissions, and offline selling as a Progressive Web App that syncs when back online. Lipana AI, included on the Pro plan, sits on live sales and stock data to answer plain-language questions, give revenue tips, forecast sales, and predict low stock. The system offers purpose-built workflows for cafés, supermarkets, retail, pharmacies, hardware stores, salons, and more.

LipanaPOS runs a launch offer of KES 2,500 per month per location instead of KES 6,500, with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required. A free trial tier covers the core register, M-Pesa and cash payments, and basic reports, while Pro adds unlimited locations and team, Lipana AI, advanced analytics, and an online storefront, and an Enterprise tier adds API access, a dedicated account manager, and an SLA.
