Built for Retail & general store
One till, one stock count, no guesswork
A general store runs on speed at the counter and honesty in the stockroom. PatoHQ gives you barcode-fast selling, a stock count you can trust and money that reconciles at the end of the day.
Sound familiar?
The retail & general store struggle, in a few lines
- !
You close to count stock because the paper tally and the shelf never agree.
- !
A queue builds because the till is slow and pricing is typed by hand.
- !
You only find out a fast mover is out of stock when a customer asks for it.
How PatoHQ solves it
Made for the way you actually work
Barcode speed at the counter
Scan, search or tap to sell. Held bills and change handling keep a Saturday queue moving without errors.
A stock count you can trust
Every sale updates stock live, and low-stock alerts tell you what to reorder before it runs out.
Money that reconciles
Cash, card and mobile money are tracked from the till through to a shift close that actually balances.

Will it work if the internet drops?
Yes, the POS keeps selling offline and syncs when you reconnect.
Do I need special hardware?
No. It runs on an Android tablet or laptop; a barcode scanner is optional.
How long does setup take?
Most shops sell their first item within 15 minutes of signing up.
Solutions
Built for your kind of business
Skincare, cosmetics & beauty
Beauty stock expires, and write-offs eat margin. PatoHQ captures expiry at receiving, sells older stock first and warns you before a product becomes a loss.
Pharmacy & health products
Pharmacies live and die by stock accuracy and expiry control. PatoHQ gives you batch and expiry tracking plus accurate stock, without buying a warehouse system.
Fashion, clothing & boutique
Fashion lives in variants: sizes, colours and styles. PatoHQ keeps products, SKUs, tags and barcodes organised, with sales and inventory in one place.
