Running today in a supermarket and butchery in Mongu, Western Province, with tills, barcode scanners, receipt printers, cash drawers and a label scale for the meat counter. The owner runs it from abroad.
The power-cut test
Load-shedding at six. The till doesn’t notice.
Kasenti keeps the whole shop on the till, not on the internet. Scroll through an evening at the counter.
SaleProductsReportsOffline, still sellingThis till, this evening18:02
- No internet. The till is ready for the next customer.
0 sales, 0 refundWaiting for the next sale
An example evening. The till and its printer need power, so we fit a small UPS. The internet is only needed to send sales to the cloud and for the owner’s view.
- 18:02
The power goes.
The till runs on a small UPS. The internet is down, so the sync chip turns to "Offline, still selling".
- 18:06
Customers keep paying.
Every sale is saved on the till itself, the receipt prints and the drawer opens. Each one waits to be sent.
- 20:40
Refunds still work.
A refund is recorded against the original receipt, with a reason, and printed for the customer. It waits with the rest.
- 21:41
The line comes back.
The till sends every waiting sale and refund to the cloud on its own. The owner sees the whole evening in the back office.
The counter
Everything on the counter, working as one.
Kasenti drives the hardware a busy shop already has. This is the counter in Mongu, as it is today.
- 1Windows tillTouch screen with an on-screen keypad. Cashiers can work in English, Icibemba or Chinyanja.
- 2Barcode scannerScans product barcodes and the price labels your scale prints.
- 3Receipt printer80 mm thermal receipts, refund slips and the day’s Z report. Tested with the PD-POS806UE.
- 4Cash drawerWired to the printer, so it opens on its own when a cash sale is paid.
- 5Quick-scan labelsBarcodes printed for loose items like bread rolls and ice, taped to the counter so nobody searches for them.
- Label scaleAt the meat and vegetable counter. It weighs, prints a barcode label, and the till reads the weight and price from it.
Weighed goods
The scale prints it. The till reads it.
Meat, vegetables and anything sold by weight go over the label scale. The cashier scans the label and the item, weight and price land on the sale. Nobody types a number.
Read correctly from the label scale in Mongu. Other makers’ label layouts, including weight-in-the-barcode labels, are supported too.
Tap the parts of the label.

For the owner
Run the shop from anywhere.
The Mongu shop is run by an owner who lives abroad. The back office shows every till, every branch and every shift from a browser, and the day closes with a Z report that has to balance.
- Alerts by WhatsApp and email for voids, refunds, discounts and the drawer opening without a sale.
- Refunds and price changes from the back office, recorded against the cashier who made them.
- Stock, suppliers and deliveries, with stock takes and what to reorder.
- Exports of everything to a spreadsheet, and journals for your accounting software.

Questions
What shop owners ask us first.
What happens in a power cut, or when the internet drops?
The till keeps selling. Sales, refunds, receipts and the cash drawer all work on the till itself, and every sale is sent to the cloud once the internet is back. The till and the printer need power, so we recommend a small UPS.
Which hardware does it work with?
Windows tills with a touch screen, USB barcode scanners, 80 mm ESC/POS receipt printers (tested with the PD-POS806UE), cash drawers that open from the printer, and label scales that print weight barcodes. Tell us what you have and we will check it before you start.
Can I bring my product list from Excel?
Yes. Save your list from Excel as a CSV file and import it on the Products page. There is a template to start from, and you can export the whole catalogue the same way.
Is Kasenti ZRA Smart Invoice certified?
Not yet. We are working on certification. Kasenti Smart, the plan for VAT-registered shops, goes on sale only once Kasenti is certified.
How do several tills and branches stay in step?
Each till keeps its own copy of what it needs to sell, and sends its sales to your back office. Products and prices you change in the back office reach every till. A second branch is included in every plan.
How do I pay for Kasenti?
We send an invoice each month, or each year if you choose yearly. The payment details are on the invoice.
What happens if a payment is late?
The tills never stop selling, printing or syncing, and you can always export your own data. After a grace period, only back-office editing pauses until the invoice is paid.
Do you set it up for us?
We can set it up with you, import your products and show your cashiers the till. The first 30 days are free on up to 3 tills. Email hello@kasenti.com to arrange it.
Built at a real counter.
Kasenti started at the till of a family supermarket and butchery in Mongu. We wired the label scale, set up the printers and the drawers, and stood behind the counter while it worked. It still runs that counter today.
