Business Management System · made in Tanzania
Profit runs sales, stock, money and people in one place. Sell at the counter, follow every shilling into real double-entry books, and know what the business actually made — with or without internet.
The whole system
Four jobs every business has. Profit does all four on one database, so the till, the shelf and the books always agree. Here is what each module covers.
The counter, the tables, the kitchen — every way you sell and take money.

Module 01 · Sales
A barcode till for the shop. Tables and tabs for the restaurant. Appointments for the salon. Expiry-aware selling for the pharmacy. Same till, same books.
And every sale — cash, credit or refund — lands in the ledger by itself.
Module 02 · Inventory
Everything on the shelf got there through a supplier invoice, a transfer or a production run — so every quantity has a paper behind it, and every correction has a name on it.
Main Store
Everything you bought. Nothing is sold from here.
stock moves down, signed for both ways
Kitchen
Cooks, then sells
Barbeque
Cooks, then sells
Barista
Sells its own stock
Chapati
Cooks, then sells
One counter only? Leave departments switched off and run a single stock.
Module 03 · Money
Till software gives you a sales total. Profit keeps real books — chart of accounts, general ledger, journal, trial balance — and every transaction posts its own entry the moment it happens.

Balanced · 25,400 = 25,400
Your accounts, arranged the way an accountant expects to find them.
Every sale, purchase, expense and stock movement posts its own double entry.
Ready any day you ask. Always balanced, because the entries post themselves.
Rent, fuel, airtime — booked to the right account the day you pay them.
Open the drawer, close the drawer, reconcile to the shilling.
What sold, what it cost, what was made — by day, product, staff or department.
One sale, four ledger lines — cash, sales, cost, stock. Purchases, expenses, transfers and production post the same way.
Module 04 · People
You decide who sees what and who touches money. The system remembers the rest — every sale, every correction, every shift, with a name on it.
How it flows
Twenty kilos of chicken, from the supplier's invoice to gross profit. Every step is a real screen, nothing is retyped.
Purchase
Received 20 kg chicken
TSh 180,000
Supplier invoice booked. Stock lands in Main Store.
Transfer
Moved 20 kg → Barbeque
Store −20 kg
The store gives, the counter receives. Signed both ways.
Production
Cooked 80 skewers
Cost TSh 2,250 each
Chicken off the shelf; skewers become sellable stock, carrying their cost.
Sale
Sold 63 skewers
TSh 315,000
Rung up at TSh 5,000 each — with the internet down all afternoon.
The ledger
Gross profit, posted
TSh 173,250
Every line above is a journal entry you can open. 17 skewers still on the counter.
Works anywhere
Same system, same data. The counter PC keeps its own database and syncs to the cloud when it is online.
Install Profit on the counter machine. It owns its own database, so the till, the stock and the books work with no internet at all. Add more tills on the local network.
Windows · macOS · Linux
Nothing to install. Open Profit on a tablet, a laptop or your phone — at the counter or from home on a Sunday.
No card needed. Set up your business in ten minutes.
Moving from another system? Bring your product list in from a spreadsheet, and take it out the same way.
Who it's for
The modules are the same everywhere. What changes is which ones you turn on.
Barcode till, purchasing, cash-up at end of day. Sells with the internet down.
Tables and tabs, kitchen display, waiter mode, production for the kitchen.
Batch numbers and expiry dates on every box. Earliest expiry sells first.
Production runs turn flour into bread with a real cost per piece.
Appointments with time and staff, and every sale attributed to who did the work.
If you buy, sell and pay people, the modules fit. Turn on what you need; ignore the rest.
Pricing
Mobile money, bank transfer, or cash. Tell us the size of the business and we'll quote you the same day.
One licence per business, paid once.
Monthly, per business. Start free.
Chains, franchises, and groups.
Yes. On the counter PC, Profit keeps its own database on that machine — sales, stock, books and reports all work with the router unplugged. When the connection comes back, everything syncs up on its own.
Real accounting. Profit keeps a chart of accounts, a general ledger and a journal. Every sale, purchase, expense and stock movement posts its own double entry, and you can pull a trial balance any day. If you work with an accountant, they will recognise all of it.
The modules are general. Mini-markets use the barcode till and purchasing. Restaurants add tables, tabs and the kitchen screen. Pharmacies get batch numbers and expiry dates. Bakeries use production. Salons book appointments. Turn on what you need and ignore the rest.
Any counter that holds its own stock and sells: a kitchen, a barbeque, a barista, a chapati station, a butchery. The Main Store buys and holds; a department receives stock from the store and sells it. Turn departments off entirely if you only have one counter.
It is how you record what got made. Twenty kilos of chicken become eighty skewers: the chicken comes off the shelf, the skewers become sellable stock at that counter, and the cost follows them into the books.
Yes. A sale can go on a customer's account. Profit tracks who owes what, and every payment is recorded against the debt — in the books, not in a notebook.
No. The counter PC version is complete on its own. The cloud is for people who want Profit on a tablet or phone, or who want to see the business while they are not in it.
Mobile money (M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa), bank transfer, or cash. Send us the reference and we activate your account the same day.
Yes. Restore your database and your licence file on the new machine and carry on.
You decide. Roles and permissions are yours to build: a cashier who cannot see profit, a waiter who cannot take money, a supervisor who can correct stock. Every sale carries the name of whoever rang it up.
Products, counters, staff and books — set up in an afternoon. Sell tomorrow morning.
