inkeep

Every sale, every item, every naira.

inkeep is the till, stock book and cash book for shops, pharmacies and restaurants. It keeps working when the network doesn't, and keeps every phone and branch in step.

inkeep app — Point of sale

The right tools for the business you run.

Tell inkeep what you sell and it shows only what you need. Same simple app, same menu, different tools.

Provision stores, mini-marts, supermarkets and general retailers.

Every item on your shelf, every naira in your drawer.

  • Sell in seconds

    Tap a product or scan its barcode. Cash, transfer, POS or a split. Barcodes are optional — type the name and price and you are selling.

  • Stock you can trust

    Stock goes down with every sale on every till, so two cashiers can't sell the same last item without you knowing.

  • Purchases & suppliers

    Receive deliveries against purchase orders, track what you owe each supplier and see how your cost prices change.

  • Cash at hand, cash in the bank

    Know what should be in the drawer and in the bank right now, and close every shift with a count.

How inkeep works for shops
inkeep app — Products & stock

Pharmacies and medicine retailers.

See every expiry date before it costs you money.

  • Batch & expiry tracking

    Record each delivery as a batch with its expiry date. Sales take from the batch that expires first.

  • The naira value at risk

    See the value of stock expiring in 30, 60 and 90 days, so you can sell, return or stop reordering in time.

  • Medicines your way

    Brand and generic names, pack sizes and prices. Mark prescription-only items so they can't be bought online without a conversation.

  • Suppliers & purchase history

    Purchase orders, supplier balances and a history of what each medicine cost you.

Restaurants, cafés, lounges and food businesses.

From the table to the kitchen to the till, nothing gets lost.

  • Tables & tickets

    Open a table, add dishes with notes, add more as guests order. Move or merge tables when you need to.

  • Kitchen screen

    The kitchen sees new orders the moment they are sent and marks them preparing and ready.

  • QR menu at the table

    Guests scan, browse your menu with photos and order. A waiter confirms before it reaches the kitchen.

  • Bills & payments

    Print or share the bill, split payments across cash, transfer and POS, and close the table.

Know where your money is, right now.

Sales are not the same as money in hand. inkeep keeps the three numbers every owner needs apart, and keeps them correct.

Cash at hand
What should be in the drawer: cash sales and debt payments in, cash expenses, refunds and bank deposits out. Count it at every shift change.
Cash in the bank
Transfers, POS settlements and wallet money, kept separate from the drawer so the two never get mixed up.
Profit & loss
Sales minus what the goods cost you, minus your expenses. Full books too — balance sheet, cash flow and trial balance — without hiring an accountant to start.

Every morning, a short list of what to do.

Reports tell you what happened. The action list tells you what to do about it — before customers leave empty-handed or stock expires on the shelf.

  • Suggested reorder quantities from what actually sells
  • Money tied up in items that stopped selling
  • Debts, overdue invoices and cash counts that didn't match
  1. 8 products are running low

    Order now: about two weeks of stock suggested for each.

  2. 12 items have not sold in 45 days

    ₦186,000 is tied up in them. Try a discount or stop reordering.

  3. 5 products have falling margins

    Your cost price went up or someone is discounting.

  4. ₦45,000 of stock expires within 30 days

    Sell these first or return them to the supplier.

No network? Keep selling.

Every sale is saved on the phone first and sent to your account the moment there is a connection. Your other phones, your branches and your website catch up on their own.

Works offline
Sell, receive stock and record expenses with no data. Nothing is lost.
One stock count for every till
Stock is worked out from every sale on every device, so two cashiers can't quietly sell the same last item.
Phone, tablet and computer
Android, iPhone and the web. The same account everywhere.
Backed up every day
Encrypted copies of your records are kept in two separate places.
