POS Systems
Reliable point-of-sale systems for retail, hospitality and multi-branch businesses.
What We Provide
Core POS Capabilities
Reliable point-of-sale systems configured for your business — from single-checkout shops to multi-branch operations.
Sales & Transactions
Fast checkout and transaction processing. POS terminals configured for your products, pricing, and payment methods.
Inventory
Stock management and visibility. Track quantities across locations, set reorder points, and monitor what's moving.
Reporting
Sales and operational reports. See daily totals, product performance, staff activity, and trends — without manual compilation.
User Permissions
Control what staff can access. Define roles for cashiers, managers, and administrators — limiting access to sensitive functions.
Multi-Branch
Centralised management where supported. Monitor sales, inventory, and staff across multiple locations from a single dashboard.
Hardware
POS terminals, printers, scanners, cash drawers and related equipment. We select and supply hardware suited to your environment.
Payments
Payment integration where supported. We integrate with specific payment providers based on your business needs and location.
The Backspace Difference
POS + Infrastructure
A POS system needs network, power, connectivity and support to work reliably. We handle all of it — not just the software.
Network & WiFi
POS systems need reliable connectivity. We design and install the network infrastructure — cabling, switches, access points — that keeps your terminals online.
Power & UPS
Power cuts shouldn't stop sales. We provide UPS backup for POS terminals, routers, and printers so transactions continue through outages.
Printers & Peripherals
Receipt printers, barcode scanners, cash drawers, customer displays — all selected, supplied, and configured to work with your POS software.
Servers & Storage
On-premise POS may need a local server. We spec, supply, and configure the hardware that supports your POS infrastructure.
Internet Connectivity
We help secure reliable internet — whether fixed-line, fibre, or backup LTE — so cloud-based POS systems stay connected.
Ongoing Support
When something breaks at the checkout counter, you need it fixed fast. We provide technical support for POS hardware, connectivity, and peripherals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from businesses in Uganda about POS systems and infrastructure.
What POS systems do you supply and support?
We work with a range of POS platforms depending on your industry and requirements. During the assessment, we evaluate your needs — transaction volume, inventory complexity, payment methods, number of locations — and recommend the right hardware and software combination. We don't tie ourselves to a single vendor.
Does the POS integrate with Mobile Money?
We integrate with payment providers based on your business needs. Common integrations include MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, and card payment gateways. The specific providers we integrate with depend on the POS platform and your merchant agreements. We discuss payment options during the assessment.
Can the POS work without internet?
Some POS platforms support offline operation — the ability to process transactions without an internet connection and sync when connectivity returns. Whether this is available depends on the specific POS product and configuration. We discuss offline requirements during the assessment and recommend platforms that match your connectivity environment.
What about payment security and PCI DSS?
Payment security and PCI DSS compliance depend on the payment architecture, provider, and implementation. We help you understand what PCI DSS requirements apply to your business and configure payment processing accordingly. The specific compliance level depends on your transaction volume, card handling processes, and payment provider requirements.
What happens to our data if something fails?
Backup and recovery options can be configured according to your requirements. Cloud-based POS platforms typically include data sync to remote servers. On-premise POS requires local backup strategy. We discuss data protection during the assessment and configure backup accordingly.
Can you handle the full setup — not just the POS software?
Yes. This is a key difference with Backspace. We don't just supply POS terminals. We handle the network cabling, WiFi access points, power backup, internet connectivity, printer setup, and ongoing support. Your POS system needs infrastructure to run on — and we build that infrastructure.
