What Are You Looking For?

June 23, 2025 7 Comments

Let’s be honest—running a business in Ghana comes with its own special drama. Between “light off,” “network no dey,” and “Madam, the supplier said he’ll come next week but he didn’t say which week,” it’s a miracle we get anything done.

But truth is, what most of us need isn’t another assistant or “a trusted guy.”
We need a proper Point of Sale system that understands how businesses work in Ghana.
Not just a place to collect cash—but a system that gives you visibility, control, and accountability.

Here’s what that looks like—and why it matters:

1. Inventory That Tracks Itself (No Calculator Required)
Abossey Okai spare parts dealer thought he had stock. Three customers walked out because items were “in the book” but not in the shop. Staff had been selling “on the side.”

A boutique owner in Osu was overstocked on black jeans because she didn’t know they weren’t moving—until StoreMidas showed her she hadn’t sold a pair in 2 months.

With StoreMidas: real-time inventory, automatic restock alerts, and low-stock warnings. Stock theft, ghost items, and dead stock? Handled.

2. See Your Profits, Not Just Your Sales
In Madina, a pharmacy owner thought paracetamol and multivitamins were her money-makers. But StoreMidas showed that her highest profit margin came from a lesser-known skincare line.

A stationery shop in Lapaz realized they were always restocking A4 paper, but barely profiting on it. StoreMidas helped adjust pricing and bundling—profits increased in one term.

POS isn’t about how much you sell. It’s about how much you keep. Know what pays the bills, and what’s just noise.

3. Prevent the “I Paid You” vs. “You Haven’t Paid” Supplier Drama
Takoradi boutique owner used to argue with her supplier monthly over outstanding balances. “I paid last week!” “No, you didn’t!”

A mini mart in Kasoa had no record of bulk biscuit deliveries because receipts were manual and easily misplaced. Now every supplier transaction is logged in StoreMidas with full balances.

With digital supplier statements, balance tracking, and receipt history, every conversation becomes: “Let me check the system.” Simple.

4. Manage Staff Without Living in the Shop
A Cape Coast salon owner used to find out about customer discounts after they happened. Her hairdresser was offering “loyalty pricing” to friends and family.

A supermarket in Adenta was shocked to learn through StoreMidas that one cashier clocked in late 12 times in a month—despite smiling in all staff meetings.

StoreMidas lets you assign roles, track attendance, monitor sales by staff, and restrict who can do what. Whether you’re in town or traveling, you’ll know what’s happening.

5. Cloud Backup So Nothing Gets Lost (Even When Power Goes Off)
A gift shop owner in Tema lost all her handwritten sales data during a flood. She had no records for restocking.

Now, with StoreMidas, her entire system is backed up in the cloud. Data syncs automatically and she can access everything—sales, stock, invoices—from any device, even her phone.

No more “please send me the receipt again.” No more “my laptop spoiled.” No more crying over wet notebooks.

6. Works Online AND Offline (Yes, It Handles MTN & Vodafone Network Mood Swings)
A barbershop in Kumasi switched to StoreMidas because the previous system froze whenever the internet dropped. Customers waiting, no receipts printing. Stress.

Now they run smoothly offline, and the system syncs automatically when the connection returns. Seamless, no matter the network.

You don’t have to pause your business because Wi-Fi is “off.”

7. Built for All Kinds of Ghanaian Businesses
StoreMidas isn’t just for shops. It supports service-based businesses too.

The laundromat in Dansoman uses it to bill services and track repeat customers. A beauty spa in East Legon uses it for customer loyalty and appointment tracking. A kiosk in Kaneshie uses it for quick daily sales and petty cash reports.

It adapts to your flow—not the other way around.

The Big Lesson?
A POS system is not just for issuing receipts. It’s your accountant, storekeeper, HR manager, and silent business partner—all in one.
If you don’t know what your business is doing when you’re not watching… you don’t really own it.

And unless you enjoy being surprised by missing stock, unpaid balances, or unexpected discounts from “trusted” staff, it’s time to level up.

Start selling smarter, not harder.

    Your app has been really helpful to me too. We signed up 3 months ago after seeing your ad on Facebook and I’ve already recommended it to several of my friends.

  • Mensima

    This article hit home! I used to think I was doing well until I realized I couldn’t even track who owed me what. Storemidas has completely changed how I manage my boutique.

  • Kojo Laryea

    Very relatable and funny but also real. I’ve had stock mysteriously vanish more times than I can count. I hope to start using your product soon.

  • Nana Kwame

    This should be required reading for every Ghanaian SME. If you are running a business with no real time data, you’re running blind.

  • AJ Lush

    I laughed out loud at the part about “trusted staff discounts”. Been there! StoreMidas has helped me put proper control in place without being the “mean boss”.

  • Michael Damoah

    Great read. I used to think a POS was just for receipts, but this explained exactly why it’s a full business tool.

  • Abena Chase

    I saw my own experience in this write up. I didn’t know how much I was losing until your software showed me where the money was really coming from.
