POS software
Sales, stock, staff permissions and the day’s report in one till.
Till, card and invoice in one flowSee the workflow
POS and MRA EIS software for Malawi
Unimarket builds the till, the card payment and the MRA EIS invoice as one system, so each sale is entered once. Designed and supported from Blantyre.
POS sales beside their MRA EIS invoices
The back office lists each sale as the till closes it. Open one to see its lines, the VAT, how it was paid and whether MRA EIS accepted the invoice.

POS software, card machines and EIS
Card machines
The card payment is recorded against the sale it pays for, with its reference.
MRA EIS invoicing
Each invoice goes to MRA EIS from the sale, with its state on screen.
Enterprise software
Systems that replace spreadsheets and hand-offs, with access set by role.
One POS sale updates five records
When the cashier closes a sale, the card payment, the stock count, the MRA EIS invoice, the day’s report and the accounts all change with it.
Nobody types the sale a second time, so the totals agree at the end of the day.
See the five stepsPOS sale to EIS invoice
The till, the card terminal and MRA EIS share one record of each sale, from the first scan to the accepted invoice.
How a POS project runs, in 3 stages. Six steps, agreed before any code.
Discover and define
We watch the counter at work, then write down the scope and the decisions.
Design and build
You test the screens before full development, then we build what you approved.
Till build, sprint 3
- Basket and price lookup
- Cashier roles
- Card terminal states
- Returns and voids
- Daily close report
Integrate and support
We connect MRA EIS and the terminals, train staff and stay on after launch.
What does MRA EIS work involve?
We confirm the current MRA requirements with you, map how sales, returns and corrections become invoices, then connect and test before go-live.
Can we keep the card machines we have?
Often, yes. It depends on the terminal and the payment provider, so we check both before planning the work.
Do we have to replace our current POS?
No. We can connect to the system you run today, replace one part of it, or build new where nothing fits.
What hardware does the POS need?
A screen or tablet, a receipt printer and a card terminal. We confirm the models when we scope the work.
What happens to MRA EIS invoices offline?
We plan that case before building: how invoices wait, when they are sent again and what staff see meanwhile.
