Built for how agrovets work in Tanzania
Agrovets in Tanzania sell to farmers whose income depends on the rains and the harvest. Demand for seed and fertiliser rises sharply before planting, crop protection products move with the weather, and veterinary drugs and feeds sell all year. Many customers buy on credit and pay after harvest or when milk payments come in. poso is built for this pattern: units that match how you buy and sell, expiry control for drugs and chemicals, seasonal history for buying, and credit records for every farmer.
What you get
Bags and kilos from one stock
Buy fertiliser by the 50 kg bag, sell by the bag or the kilo. Stock stays right.
Vet-drug and chemical expiry
Batches and expiry dates, first-expiry-first-out and 90-day alerts.
Plan for the rains
Last season's weekly sales show what to stock before planting.
Farmer credit
Limits, due dates, part payments by M-Pesa and statements.
Offline counter
Keeps selling when the network drops.
Several outlets
Run more than one shop or a store and move stock between them.
Records and regulation
Veterinary medicines and agrochemicals in Tanzania are regulated (for example by the TMDA (veterinary medicines) and the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI)). poso keeps batch-level records of what you bought and sold, which helps with recalls and inspections. Always follow the authorities' rules on licensing, storage and sale of regulated products.
Tax systems
TRA electronic fiscal device (EFD/VFD) receipts are not built into poso yet. Keep your fiscal device or ask us about your setup.

Agrovet software in Tanzania: questions
What is the best agrovet software in Tanzania?
Software that sells by bag, kilo and litre, tracks vet-drug and chemical expiry dates, handles farmer credit, works offline and shows seasonal sales, priced for a single shop. poso does this from $29 a month in TZS.
Can poso record M-Pesa payments?
Yes, as a payment method at the till and for farmer credit repayments. poso records payments; it does not process them.
Can farmers pay after harvest?
Yes. Credit sales get a due date (for example after harvest), part payments are recorded as they come in, and an aged list shows who is overdue.
How much does agrovet software cost in Tanzania?
poso costs $29 a month for one agrovet with 3 users, $79 for 10 users and $149 for up to 3 outlets, with a 30-day free trial. See pricing.
Does it work in rural areas with poor network?
Yes. The till keeps selling offline and syncs when the network returns; back-office work needs a connection.
