HOW BCH APPROACHES POS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FOR KENYAN BUSINESSES
Every developer claims to build great systems.
The client only finds out whether that claim is true after they have paid.
At BCH we believe the process is as important as the product. How we work determines what gets delivered. And what gets delivered determines whether the business grows or struggles.
Here is exactly how BCH approaches a POS project from first conversation to go live and beyond.
We understand the business before we discuss technology
Before we open a laptop we ask questions. What does the business sell. How many staff. How many locations. How do they currently handle sales, stock, and payments. What is going wrong with the current system. What does a successful outcome look like in six months.
The answers shape everything that follows. A hardware shop in Eldoret has different needs from a salon in Westlands. We do not bring a template. We bring questions.
We scope before we build
Every BCH project starts with a written scope document. What will be built. What will not be built in this phase. The modules. The integrations. The timeline. The price. Both parties sign it.
This document protects the client from scope creep surprises. It protects us from unpaid extra work. It creates a shared reference point for every decision made during the build.
We build on a proven Kenyan stack
PHP with Laravel. MySQL. Tailwind CSS with Alpine.js. VPS hosting with local or regional cloud providers. M-Pesa Daraja integration. KRA eTIMS integration.
This stack is chosen because:
✅ It performs well on Kenyan internet speeds
✅ It can be maintained by Kenyan developers
✅ It integrates cleanly with Kenyan payment and compliance systems
✅ It is cost effective to host and maintain
We test thoroughly before go live
Unit tests. Integration tests. Failure scenario tests. User acceptance testing with real cashiers. We do not hand over a system we have not tested exhaustively.
We do not hand over a system and disappear. We train every user role before go live. We stay available for the first two weeks. We offer ongoing support and maintenance contracts for clients who want a long term relationship.
We build for the future not just for today
Every system we build includes multi-branch architecture, proper audit logging, role based access control, and offline capability — even for clients who only need one location today.
Because the client who starts with one shop will one day want three. And when that day comes, their system is ready.
Who we build for
Small and medium businesses across Kenya that have outgrown manual processes and need a system that works properly, is supported reliably, and grows with them.
Not the client looking for the cheapest option.
The client looking for the right one.
If you are building a POS system or need one built for your business — let us have a conversation.
