For Corporates & banks

A ready-made vehicle to execute enterprise and supplier development at township scale, with impact you can measure.

Many corporates already hold enterprise and supplier development budgets under B-BBEE, the South African framework for broad-based black economic empowerment. The hard part is finding a vehicle that reaches township stores and proves what the money did. kasiPOS is that vehicle, with a clear view of your route to market as a by-product.

What you can do

What kasiPOS gives you

  • Fund

    Development budgets pay for store rollout and digitisation: the app, the set-up and the hardware a shop needs.

  • Trade

    Funded stores run on kasiPOS and gain new income, plus control of stock, cash and credit.

  • Measure

    Impact reporting for the funder, drawn from what stores actually do at the counter, not from surveys.

How it works

Follow it through the chain

Follow a development budgetEnterprise and supplier development
  1. The funder

    A corporate commits development budget to a group of township stores.

  2. The operator

    Each store is set up with the app, training and the hardware it needs.

  3. At the counter

    Funded stores trade on kasiPOS and earn from new products and services.

  4. The funder

    The impact report shows what each store does at the counter.

    Drawn from trading, not from surveys.

Follow an outcome campaignPaying for a verified result
  1. The bank

    A bank funds a result, such as a new account that is still in use months later.

  2. The agent

    An agent anchored to a store signs people up.

    Each sign-up is recorded against the agent and the store.

  3. The bank

    The bank’s own system confirms the result.

  4. The agent and the store

    The reward is recorded for both, and the bank sees which stores are still active.

For banks

Durable reach through a base that earns from many things, so it is still there after your programme ends.

Financial-inclusion programmes often fade when the budget does, because the agents and shops they relied on had only one reason to take part. kasiPOS stores earn from several things at once, so the base keeps trading after a single programme ends.

  • Fund an outcome, not an activity: for example, a new account that is still in use months later.
  • Each sign-up is recorded against the store and the agent who made it.
  • See outcomes, and whether the stores behind them are still active.

On the platform

What you work with

  • The store app: point of sale, stock, customer records and a credit book, working offline on a phone.
  • A store registry with one record per store: owner, address, location and enabled modules.
  • The operator console for setting up clients and stores during a rollout.
  • Impact reporting for funders, drawn from what stores do at the counter.
  • Store verification that grows with trading history.
  • Outcome campaigns, where a funder pays for a verified result.
