When one till stops being enough — a second man billing through the khaad season, a back counter for pesticides, a third at the gate — AgroPOS Multi-Counter puts them all on the same stock, the same khata and the same bill sequence, over your own shop network. No cloud, no monthly bill, and the licence never expires.
Peak season is the test. Urea arrives, the shop fills, and one man at one screen becomes the whole queue. Most dealers solve it by putting a second computer on the counter — and then discover the two do not know about each other.
Two separate copies of the software means two stock counts, two khatas and two sets of bill numbers. The bag sold at the second counter is still on the first counter's shelf. The farmer who paid at one till still owes money at the other. At day close, nothing adds up, and the only fix is to do the evening's reconciliation by hand.
AgroPOS Multi-Counter is the single-counter software with that problem solved: one set of records, several tills reading and writing it at the same time.
One PC is the main counter. It holds the data and stays on while the shop is open — usually the machine that was already the till. The other counters connect to it over your own network cable or router.
The network is your own — a cable to a switch, or the shop's router. Nothing goes through the cloud to reach the till beside you, and a dead internet line does not stop billing. Cloud backup still runs when a connection is there.
Backup and restore are available on the main counter only. That is deliberate: one machine owns the records, so a restore cannot be started from two places at once and leave the shop with two versions of its own history. Every counter's billing is in that one backup.
One-time, like the single-counter licence. No monthly bill, and it never expires.
For comparison, the single-counter licence is Rs 30,000. Cloud backup is free for the first year on either, then Rs 5,000 a year and optional — the software keeps working without it.
Your shop moves across with you. Make a backup on the copy you use now, install Multi-Counter on the machine that will be the main counter, and restore that backup into it — products, stock, customer khata, bills, suppliers and day book all arrive intact. Then set up the other counters and point them at the main one.
The setup guide has the steps, in English and Urdu.
Both programs keep working and each keeps its own separate records. A bill made on the old one after the move will not appear on Multi-Counter, its stock will not come off, and nobody notices until the godown count does not match.
Multi-Counter is not a cut-down or a bolt-on. It is the same software with the counters added, so all of it is there: batch-wise stock with expiry and FEFO, the udhaar khata and recovery, parchoon selling by the kilo, bookings, wholesale billing at trade rates, wallets and bank accounts, the Agriculture Department registers, thermal and A4 invoices, reports and Excel export.
Two or three on the standard plans, and more by adding counters at Rs 20,000 each to a licence you already own. There is no practical limit beyond what your shop network can carry.
No. They talk over your own shop network — a cable to a switch, or your router. The internet is only used for cloud backup and for checking updates, and billing continues without either.
The other counters cannot bill while it is off, because it holds the data. Keep it on through shop hours. It is usually the counter that was already the till, so this is what most shops do anyway.
Yes. Buy an Extra Counter at Rs 20,000 and it is added to your existing licence — same key, same shop, one more till.
No. Back up on your current copy and restore it into Multi-Counter on the main counter. Stock, khata, bills, suppliers and the day book all come across.
Yes, 14 days, the complete software with nothing switched off. A Multi-Counter trial covers two computers so you can actually test a second till.
