For Investors
Open-source adoption at the edge, a proprietary network at the centre, and many paying participants across the value chain.
kasiPOS gives the store app away and builds the business in the network behind it. The shop is the asset. The businesses that want to reach it pay for most of the value.
What you can do
What kasiPOS gives you
Adoption through an open core
The store app is open source and useful on its own, which makes it cheap for a shop to join.
Defensibility in the network
Connected stores, verified identities, partner relationships and data cannot be copied by forking code.
Several kinds of paying participant
Brands, corporates, affiliates and telcos, suppliers, and operators each pay for a different kind of value. Shops pay little.
Built to cross borders
English and French. Currency, tax and market rules are set per country.
How it works
Follow it through the chain
Follow one saleOne sale, value in several places
At the counter
A shopper buys cooking oil and pays cash.
The shop rings it up on a phone, with or without a connection.
The shop
Stock drops, and the app flags that oil is running low.
The owner reorders from the same app.
Nearby shops
The reorder joins a group buy.
The price improves as more stores commit.
The supplier
Many small orders arrive as one pooled order.
Volume that can be planned for.
The brand
The sale counts toward a campaign, verified at the till.
It also shows up in sell-through by product, price and area.
The shop, again
The sale adds to a trading history that verifies the store.
Partners use that history to choose who to work with.
Follow a brand campaignPromotions verified at the till
The brand

The shops

The shopper

At the counter
