01
Always in sync
Stock, sales and staff roll up into one dashboard, no more arguing over two spreadsheets.
The business software for the modern seller
Inventory, POS, sales, and invoicing in one simple system for modern retail. PatoHQ syncs everything so you always know what's happening in your business, anywhere you are.
Why PatoHQ
Built for real shops, not perfect conditions
Most retail software assumes fast internet, one location and one till. PatoHQ starts from how real retail actually works, many branches, mixed payments and power that comes and goes.
02
Built to be used at the till
Barcode scanning, staff PINs and split payments keep a Saturday queue moving.
03
Money you can actually see
Cash reconciliation, outstanding invoices and margins, in the language your accountant uses.
04
Grows with your business
Add branches, roles and devices without “migrating to enterprise”. Multi-branch from day one.
One workspace
Every number, one dashboard
Money in, outstanding, low stock and net profit, updated live across every branch, readable from your phone.

What is PatoHQ?
An all-in-one business operating system for growing retail businesses, POS, inventory, invoicing, customers, team and reports in one connected workspace instead of spreadsheets.
How is PatoHQ different from Cin7, Zoho or QuickBooks?

Does it work if my internet is unreliable?

Can I use it for more than one branch?
Yes, from the Free plan up, stock, sales and staff all roll up into one dashboard per business.
How long does setup take?
Most businesses sell their first item within 15 minutes of signing up.
What payment methods do my customers use?
Cash, card and mobile money via Pesapal, including split payments at the till.
Your business deserves better than a notebook.
