When you run a retail business in Namibia, choosing the right point of sale (POS) solution isn’t just about ringing up sales—it’s about having a system that supports growth, multi-location control, accurate reporting, stock management, and integration. That’s where IQ POS steps up.
Here are the key features, benefits, and why System Supplies offers IQ POS as one of the top solutions in Namibia.
What is IQ POS?
IQ POS is a powerful, flexible POS system from IQRetail (South Africa). It can operate as a stand-alone POS terminal or be fully integrated into broader systems like IQ Business or IQ Enterprise.
It supports multiple locations (multi-site) and multiple terminals, which makes it ideal for retailers with more than one outlet, or those who expect to expand.
Key Features
Here are the modules and capabilities built into IQ POS:
Point of Sale – Simple, fast checkout, including suspended sales.
Inventory / Stock Management – Keep track of what’s in store, on order, transfers etc.
Debtors and Creditors – Handle customer accounts and supplier payments.
Quotes, Purchase / Sales Orders, Job Cards – For businesses that operate beyond simple retail.
Advanced Reporting – SQL Report Writer, embedded DBISAM SQL database.
Integrations – EFT (electronic funds transfer), loyalty programs, SMS marketing.
Why IQ POS is Great for Namibia
Multi-site readiness: For stores in Windhoek, Oshakati, Swakopmund, etc., IQ POS can synchronise and consolidate operations — stock, sales, reporting.
Local support through System Supplies: We are based in Windhoek and understand the challenges Namibian businesses face (power interruptions, internet lag, customs, etc.). Having on-the-ground support matters.
Scalability: Whether you’re a small shop, or a chain of stores, IQ POS scales. Buying more terminals, adding modules or sites is less of a headache.
Data & Reporting for better decisions: Real-time or near real-time sales, stock, cash-ups, float management give you control and visibility.
Integration with financial systems: Handling debtors/creditors and accounting workflows means fewer manual entries, fewer errors, better financial management.
