Four things about doing business in Uganda — and what the software does about each.

How NodePoint handles each East African market — Uganda beside Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda.

01

Trade runs on MoMo

MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money are recorded as separate tenders, reported separately, and reconciled daily against your statements — cash stays cash.

02

Stock arrives faster than it sells

Purchase-first mode puts a Buy screen next to the till: record deliveries in seconds, and weighted-average cost and branch stock update automatically.

03

URA and EFRIS

VAT is split out on every transaction and reported in one place, so filing already has its figures. Direct EFRIS submission is on the roadmap.

04

Load-shedding is part of the week

The till, the kitchen queue and the front desk keep recording on the device through an UMEME outage and sync when the line is back.

How it runs in Uganda

Kampala to upcountry, in Uganda shillings.

Uganda buys as much as it sells. Wholesalers and hardware traders take stock in all day and move it out in bulk, which is why NodePoint's purchase-first mode exists: a Buy screen as fast as the till, so recording a delivery is a few taps and the average cost of every item updates itself.

MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money are the counter here. Each is recorded as its own tender beside cash and card, so the day's mobile money total is one figure you reconcile against your statement — not a stack of SMS.

VAT is separated on every sale and invoice, so the numbers URA wants already exist in your reports. EFRIS integration is on our roadmap; until then the records are ready and nothing needs re-keying.

Questions from Ugandan businesses

Can I record MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money separately?

Yes. Each is its own tender at checkout, so reports show MTN, Airtel, cash and card as separate totals and you reconcile each against its own statement.

What does purchase-first mode do?

It adds a Buy screen that works exactly like the till but for stock coming in: tap the product, set the quantity and today's unit cost, record. Stock and weighted-average cost update automatically — built for wholesalers and hardware traders.

Is NodePoint URA EFRIS compatible?

VAT is split out on every sale and invoice and reported in one place, so the figures URA filing needs already exist. Direct EFRIS submission is on our roadmap; there is nothing to re-key when it arrives.

Are prices in Uganda shillings?

Everything inside the app — prices, receipts, invoices, reports — runs in UGX. The subscription itself is billed in US dollars, with a seven-day free trial first.
