01 / What we build

The software layer around the terminal.

A modern POS deployment is not only a device. It is the merchant application, the operator dashboard, the transaction record, the payment connection, and the support tooling that keeps a network running.

  • Android POS and smart-terminal applications for payment, sales, and service workflows.
  • Merchant, branch, agent, and operations dashboards for real network management.
  • Inventory, catalog, customer, receipt, settlement, and reporting modules shaped around the business.
  • Offline-tolerant flows, role-based access, audit trails, and deployment support for growing fleets.
02 / Ethiopia-ready architecture

Built around local payment and compliance realities.

Ethiopian POS software needs to be designed around provider access, NBE-regulated payment relationships, Ministry of Revenues e-invoicing expectations, VAT handling, and operational reliability.

  • Provider integration planning for Telebirr, M-PESA, Chapa, ArifPay, SantimPay, Addis Pay, EthSwitch, or other available rails.
  • E-invoicing and digital receipt architecture that can work with approved compliance providers and official workflows.
  • Clear separation between payment processing, business operations, reporting, and back-office administration.
  • Discovery-first implementation so the final build reflects the client's license position, provider agreements, devices, and rollout plan.
03 / Who it is for

For operators that need a product, not a template.

The strongest fit is a team with distribution, merchant access, payment relationships, or a clear operating niche that needs a custom POS platform to deploy at scale.

  • Retail, restaurant, pharmacy, fuel, hospitality, service, and agent-network use cases.
  • Payment companies, fintechs, banks, telecom-adjacent teams, and device distributors.
  • Businesses replacing spreadsheets, paper receipts, or generic POS tools with a controlled software stack.
  • Founders and operators preparing an investment-grade POS product plan before development begins.
Frequently asked

Answers searchers can use.

Can Viable Solutions build custom POS software for Ethiopia?

Yes. We build custom POS software around the client's business model, devices, payment relationships, compliance requirements, and deployment plan.

Does POS software need payment provider access?

If the system accepts digital payments, provider access and the right commercial or technical agreements matter. We design the software around the access the client actually has or is pursuing.

Can the POS support VAT, withholding, and digital receipts?

The application can be designed to calculate VAT, capture withholding where relevant, and connect to an approved e-invoicing or receipt workflow. Legal and tax treatment should be confirmed with the client's advisors and official providers.
