YourBooks POS runs on your own computer, with your data on your own machine. Sell through a power cut, a network outage, or a whole day offline — nothing waits on a connection.
Which is fine until the connection drops mid-queue. YourBooks POS is a program on your computer that happens to sync — so an outage is an inconvenience, not a closed shop.
Cloud-only POS
YourBooks POS
Everything a counter needs, and the accounting behind it done properly.
Sales, refunds, stock and the day’s close all happen on the shop’s own machine. The internet is needed once, to activate — never to sell.
Every sale posts to a proper general ledger, not a sales list you reconcile later. Trial balance, profit and loss, and balance sheet come from the same books.
One computer holds the data; other tills connect over the shop’s network. Same stock, same customers, same day’s takings.
Per-branch levels, purchase orders, transfers, adjustments and reorder alerts — with cost tracked per unit, so your margins are real numbers.
Businesses in Uganda can fiscalise invoices and credit notes, register products with URA, and report stock movements. Arranged separately from the POS — ask us for a quote.
Your books are backed up automatically every day on your own machine, with one-click restore — and you can download a copy to keep somewhere else.
Priced per shop, in Uganda shillings. Tills on the same network are included — a shop in another town is a second licence, and we will price it with you.

URA EFRIS is priced separately. It applies to businesses in Uganda, and covers registering with URA and issuing the credentials your till uses — so the cost depends on your setup. Outside Uganda it does not apply. Ask us for a quote.
No. YourBooks POS runs on your computer and stores your data there. You need the internet once, to activate your licence, and occasionally so we can check it is still valid. Selling, printing receipts, managing stock and closing the day all work with no connection at all.
Nothing is deleted. When a subscription ends you still have time to renew: a week on the monthly plan, a month on the yearly one, and the till keeps selling meanwhile. After that the POS stops recording new sales, but reports and day-close keep working, so you always have access to your own books. Your data stays on your computer and remains yours.
Yes. Install it on each till. One computer holds the data and the others connect to it over your shop’s network, sharing the same stock and sales. Tills on the same network are covered by one licence.
A separate premises needs its own installation, because two shops cannot share one computer’s database. One licence can cover more than one site — talk to us and we will price it together. Each shop keeps its own books.
EFRIS applies to businesses in Uganda and is arranged separately from the POS licence. It covers registering your business with URA and issuing the credentials your till uses, so the cost depends on your setup. Once it is set up, the POS fiscalises invoices and credit notes, registers products and reports stock movements to URA. If you are outside Uganda, none of this applies and the POS works without it.
Yes. Nothing in the POS is tied to one country — it sells, tracks stock and keeps the books the same way anywhere. EFRIS is the one Uganda-specific part, and it is optional. Listed prices are in Uganda shillings, so talk to us if you are buying from elsewhere.
On a monthly or yearly subscription, yes — while it is active, new versions install themselves and you do not have to do anything. If you bought outright, you keep the version you bought and can use it indefinitely, but it does not receive updates: new versions come with a subscription, and switching to one brings you up to date. If you ever reinstall, use the version you bought; the POS will point you to it.
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with about 1 GB of free disk space and 4 GB of memory or more. Everything else is included — you do not need to install a database or any other software.
Yes. It is free to use for 30 days with no card and no account. Install it, run your shop on it, and decide afterwards.
A till that stops is an emergency, so getting hold of us should not be hard. Support is built into the app itself — raise a ticket from the counter and the reply comes back in the same window, no email thread to chase.
Before you buy, we are happy to walk through it with you and answer questions about your particular shop.
