Units, vet-drug expiry, seasons, farmer credit and offline selling: what to check before you choose agrovet software. By the poso team · Updated 29 October 2026 **Short answer:** The best agrovet software in 2026 sells by kilo, bag, litre and piece from one stock, tracks batches and expiry dates on veterinary drugs and agrochemicals, helps you buy for the planting and spraying seasons, handles credit to farmers and cooperatives, keeps the counter running offline and includes accounting, at a monthly price a single agrovet can afford. Test it with your own product list before you commit. Agrovets are harder to run than most shops. You sell seed, fertiliser, feeds, vet drugs, vaccines, pesticides and tools; you buy in bags and cartons and sell in kilos and bottles; demand jumps before planting and falls in the dry season; many customers pay after harvest. Generic retail software handles some of this. This guide explains what to look for so you choose software that handles all of it. Disclosure: written by poso, which makes agrovet software. The criteria apply to any system. ## 8 things agrovet software must do | # | Requirement | Why | |---|---|---| | 1 | Sell by any unit | Fertiliser bought by the 50 kg bag is sold by the bag and by the kilo. Stock must convert correctly. | | 2 | Batch and expiry tracking | Vet drugs, vaccines and pesticides expire. You need batches on receipt and earliest-expiry-first selling. | | 3 | Seasonal sales history | Sales by product and month, so you can buy for this season from last season. | | 4 | Farmer credit | Credit limits, due dates, part payments, statements and an aged list of who owes what. | | 5 | Offline counter | Rural internet drops. The till must keep selling. | | 6 | Reorder rules | Minimums that change with the season, and draft purchase orders. | | 7 | Mobile money | M-Pesa, MoMo and Airtel Money recorded as payment methods and reconciled. | | 8 | Accounting | Sales, stock and credit flowing into the books, with profit by product. | ## Units: the test most systems fail Ask any vendor to show this: receive 20 bags of 50 kg fertiliser, sell 3 bags and 37 kg loose, then show stock. The right answer is 16 bags and 13 kg (or 813 kg). If the system can't do it without a workaround, it isn't built for agrovets. ## Seasons and stock Seed, fertiliser and chemicals sell in waves. Software helps in three ways: showing what sold in the same weeks last year, raising reorder minimums before the season and lowering them after, and listing seed and chemicals left over after the season so you can return or discount them.

Good software records each credit sale with a due date, warns you when a farmer is over their limit, accepts part payments by mobile money and shows ageing. See [credit management for agrovets](https://www.poso.co/guides/wholesale-credit-management/). ## What it should cost | Item | Fair expectation | |---|---| | Software | A monthly fee for one shop, rising with users and outlets, not with each sale. | | Setup | Self-setup free; help importing your product list included or low-cost. | | Hardware | Your existing computer or tablet, a barcode scanner and optionally a receipt printer. | | Support | Included, in your language and time zone. | ## Questions to ask - **Show me bags and kilos from one stock.**The units test above. - **Show me vet-drug batches and what expires in 90 days.**In one click. - **Show me last year's sales by month for fertiliser.**Seasonal planning depends on it. - **Show me a farmer's statement and the aged credit list.**Including a part payment by mobile money. - **Unplug the internet and make a sale.**Then reconnect and show it synced. - **How do I export everything if I leave?**Excel or CSV, free. ## Mistakes agrovets make with software - Creating separate products for "bag" and "kg" so stock never matches. - Skipping batches for vet drugs to save time at receiving. - Giving credit outside the system "just this once". - Choosing desktop software for several outlets, then struggling to see all of them. ## Where poso fits poso handles all eight requirements: units and packs, vet-drug batches with FEFO, seasonal sales history, farmer credit with limits and statements, an offline till, reorder rules, mobile money payment methods and full accounting, from $29 a month.

Software that sells by kilo, bag and litre from one stock, tracks vet-drug and chemical expiry dates, supports farmer credit, works offline and shows seasonal sales, at a monthly price. Test with your own products first. ### Can I use normal shop software for an agrovet? You can, but most generic systems struggle with units (bags vs kilos), batch-level expiry and farmer credit. Check those three before choosing. ### How much does agrovet software cost? Expect a monthly fee for one shop, rising with users and outlets. poso starts at $29 a month with every feature included. ### Do agrovets need accounting software too? Yes, or software with accounting built in. Credit, stock value and seasonal cash flow make agrovet accounts more complex than a typical shop.
