POS, barcodes and devices

Scan a barcode and the product is found. At the till, the item goes on the bill. Use the camera on your phone, or a scanner that types like a keyboard. This page says what works today and what is still being built.

Works today

These are built and ready to use in your business now.

  • Scan at the till

    Scan a product and it goes on the bill at the catalogue price. Scan it again to add one more.

  • Find or register on the Barcodes page

    Scan a code to find the product. If nobody uses that code yet, register a new product with the code already filled in.

  • Camera scanning

    Use the rear camera of a phone or laptop. The torch is there too, on phones that have one.

  • Scanners that type like a keyboard

    Works with USB and Bluetooth scanners that type like a keyboard and end each code with Enter or Tab.

  • The maker’s barcode, as it is

    EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and ITF-14 are checked for a valid check digit. Other codes are kept exactly. KinMol never replaces the maker’s barcode.

  • KinMol codes, only on request

    A product with no barcode can get a KinMol code (Code 128, starting KM-) when someone asks. It is an in-shop code, not a GS1 or EAN number.

  • Pack barcodes

    Scan a crate and it counts as 12 pieces. Sell by piece, pack or carton.

  • Duplicate protection

    One code belongs to one thing in your business. A duplicate is refused, and the message names the product that already has it. You can retire a code with a reason.

  • Stock by branch

    One count for the counter and the online shop, kept by branch, with transfers between branches.

  • Kitchen order tickets

    Print a kitchen order ticket (KOT) for restaurant orders.

  • Label printing

    Barcode and price labels on A4 sticker sheets from the browser, or on a thermal label printer through the KinMol print bridge, plus shelf and bin labels.

  • Tablet and desktop POS screen

    A till screen with cashier shifts: opening float, close and count the cash, and over or short recorded.

  • Guided device setup

    Step-by-step setup for scanners, receipt printers, label printers and cash drawers, with a test scan or test print.

  • Receipt printer bills

    Bills for 58 mm and 80 mm receipt printers.

  • Kitchen tablets and printers

    The counter accepts an online, QR or delivery app order and it goes to the kitchen tablet or printer set up for that section, such as drinks to the bar.

  • Phone stock app

    Scan, receive, move and count stock from a phone.

  • Shelf locations and stock counts

    Shelf and bin locations, receiving against a purchase order with putaway, and stock counts by scanning with approval.

  • Reorder suggestions and expiry alerts

    What to reorder, which stock is getting old, what moves slowly and what is close to expiry.

  • Bill templates

    Nepal standard (like the printed bill book), computerised, modern A4, compact thermal or minimal, with your logo and your name in Nepali. Prints, PDFs and emails all match.

What you need

  • A phone or laptop with a camera, or
  • Any scanner that types like a keyboard, by USB or Bluetooth.
  • Products with a barcode on the pack. If a product has none, KinMol can make a code for use inside your shop.

Not sure how to set up a scanner? The barcode scanner setup guide takes you through it step by step.

Being built

Coming soon

None of this is available yet. We list it here so you know what is on the way, and so you do not plan around it today.

  • Tax invoices at the till

    Coming soon

    Numbered tax invoices with VAT split out, switched on once IRD approves KinMol's e-Billing software. Until then every sale prints a numbered payment receipt.
