Which Is Better between the two?

Many Kenyan car wash owners still rely on notebooks to record daily sales. While it feels simple, it actually costs more in the long run compared to a POS management system.

Traditional Records

  • Cheap but disorganized.

  • Easy to manipulate.

  • Hard to calculate staff commissions.

  • No theft prevention.

Car Wash POS / Management System

  • Real-time sales tracking.

  • Automatic staff commission calculation.

  • Accepts M-Pesa, cards, and cash.

  • Full transparency with user logs.
