About PointLit
About PointLit
PointLit is a POS and inventory system for independent shops in Egypt, founded by Mahmoud Elselimy. It works in Arabic and English, and it records every sale, delivery, transfer and count as a line that is never edited, so any number can be traced. A real business has run on it since September 2026; new sign-ups are closed for now.

Who we build it for
We build it for independent shops: the clothing shop with a second branch, the grocery on the corner, the cosmetics counter with a thousand small items. Shops like these run on a notebook, a spreadsheet and a cashier's memory, and they deserve the same control a large chain has, in Arabic as well as English.
Why we build it: every number can be traced
Most arguments in a shop start with a number someone typed over. PointLit keeps the shop's books as a ledger. A sale, a delivery, a transfer and a stock count each write lines that can never be edited or deleted, and stock on hand is worked out from those lines. A mistake is corrected with a new line, the way an accountant would. When a figure is questioned, the answer is a line with a date, a document and a name.
