The problems we built BluNext POS to remove
Most shop losses come from small gaps that add up. These are the ones we see most often.
- Stock that never matches the shelf
- Sales, deliveries and adjustments are recorded in different places, so counts drift and nobody can explain the difference.
- No clear view of daily sales
- Owners wait for end-of-day notebooks or spreadsheets to learn how the business performed.
- Manual, repeated work
- Writing prices, receipts and supplier orders by hand slows the queue and invites mistakes.
- Disconnected processes
- Checkout, purchasing, customer credit and cash-up live in separate tools that never agree.
- Hard to watch more than one outlet
- When there are several stores, stock and sales are hard to compare without travelling or calling.
What BluNext POS does
BluNext POS is a web-based point of sale and stock management system developed by BluChip Solutions in Kenya. A sale made at the till reduces stock automatically, updates the customer account if it is on credit, and appears in the shift report when the cashier closes. A delivery from a supplier increases stock and updates what you owe that supplier.
Because everything runs from one set of records, the person at the counter and the owner in the office are looking at the same numbers. Read more on the features page or see how it works day to day.

Frequently asked questions
What is a point of sale system?
A point of sale (POS) system is the software and hardware you use to take payment for a sale. A modern POS such as BluNext POS also updates stock, records customer accounts and keeps the sales history for you.
Is BluNext POS suitable for a small shop?
Yes. Plans start at KSh 999 plus VAT per month, and the system covers checkout, stock and customers without needing a large team to run it.
Does BluNext POS support M-Pesa and KRA eTIMS?
Both integrations are built. M-Pesa needs your Safaricom credentials and eTIMS needs your KRA onboarding before they can go live. We guide you through the setup.
Can I manage more than one store?
Yes. BluNext POS supports multiple stores and stock transfers between them.
Does it work offline?
BluNext POS is a web-based system. Offline selling with later synchronisation is not a current feature. Ask us how we would host and set up your site.
