Signed for ZIMRA as the sale completes.

Q: We already own a fiscal device. Does it still earn its keep?

Yes. Corelith drives the device you have, so it keeps signing sales inside the same action that closes them. We do not ask you to replace working hardware, and we do not sell you any.

Q: Can one shop run both routes at the same time?

Yes, and it is common. The route is chosen per till: the older lanes keep their devices, a new lane opens virtual, and the day comes back as one list in one order regardless of which route signed which sale.

Q: What happens to fiscal records when a till loses its internet connection?

The lane keeps trading. Each sale completes, prints a slip carrying its own sale number, and takes a numbered place in the signing queue. When the route returns the queue signs oldest first, and the waiting count falls on screen. A queued sale reads queued until it is signed — Corelith does not backdate a signature.

Q: How do fiscal records line up with the books?

Each record was written pointing at the journal entry for the same sale, so the two lists are compared rather than rebuilt. Where a day's counts differ, the difference names the sale and the till rather than the day.

Q: Is fiscalisation an extra charge on top of the plan?

No. Fiscal is part of the plan rather than a line on the quote — it is included from the Start plan up, and neither route adds to it.

Sign virtually at the till, or through the fiscal device already standing on your counter. Either way the record is kept against the sale, so there is nothing to assemble at month-end.

Changing systems is the risk.Not the software.

Your list comes across first

Products, prices and customer balances are imported and reconciled against your own totals — and you check them yourself before a single sale is put through.

Everyone gets a login

A plan carries its own team, so everyone who needs a login inside that team size gets one and nobody shares a password to save a seat.

Nothing holds you here

On monthly billing you change plan or leave whenever you like, and a full export of your data is yours on request either way.

Three things hold whichever route you take.

ZIMRA fiscalised · cashier Kirsty

Fiscalisation happens inside the sale, not in a batch afterwards. Nothing is assembled later from a report, so nothing has to be defended later either.

Signed at the till, in the same action that completed the sale.

The fiscal record and the journal entry point at the same sale, so a day of signed records and a day of takings lay side by side, line for line.

Every touch on a record keeps its own line, in order, with the person who made it and the moment they did. Nothing is overwritten in silence.

Corelith drives the fiscal device you already bought, or signs the sale over your connection with nothing new standing on the counter. The record is the same either way, and the decision is reversible.

Corelith is not approved, certified, endorsed or accredited by ZIMRA, and we make no claim on their behalf. Keeping the record is not the same as a return being prepared or filed — that stays between you and your accountant.

The one decision

Virtually, or through the device already on the counter

There is one decision to make and this is it. Corelith signs the sale over your connection, inside the same action that closes it — or it drives the fiscal device you already bought, and that device signs the sale as the till closes it. Nothing else about the day changes.

Virtual fiscalisation needs no new hardware on the counter
A device you already own is driven rather than replaced
One fiscal record is filed against the sale either way

One record, filed against the sale

The slip

The only part a customer ever sees

The slip carries the sale number, the fiscal number, the tax lines, the rate that priced it and the signature — which is what makes a receipt from three months ago still readable as a receipt rather than as a piece of paper.

A queued sale still prints a slip carrying its own sale number
Both currencies, and the rate the sale was taken at
Any record opens from its number, by date or by till, months later

When the internet goes down

The power goes at ten past five. The queue is still out the door.

Trading through a cut is normal here, so the queue is built to be looked at rather than trusted. It shows what is waiting, in what order, and how long it has been waiting. Signing follows the order the sales happened, not the order they sync.

The queue depth is on screen, oldest sale first
Each queued sale keeps the minute it was actually sold
Nothing is signed twice when the line comes back

Month-end

The records are already in the order the books are

Nobody sits down to match a stack of slips against a ledger. Each fiscal record was written pointing at the journal entry for the same sale, so the two lists are compared rather than rebuilt — and where they differ, the difference has a sale number and a till against it.

Questions we get asked in the first meeting

Do we need a physical fiscal device for ZIMRA fiscalisation?

Not for Corelith Fiscal to work. Sales can be signed virtually at the till with nothing extra on the counter, and a physical fiscal device is supported for operators who prefer one or already have one. What your particular business is obliged to do is a question for your accountant, who confirms how the rules apply to you — we describe what Corelith records, signs and files, and we claim no approval, accreditation, certification or endorsement by ZIMRA or anyone else.

We already own a fiscal device. Does it still earn its keep?

Can one shop run both routes at the same time?

What happens to fiscal records when a till loses its internet connection?

How do fiscal records line up with the books?

Is fiscalisation an extra charge on top of the plan?

Watch one sale sign itself, both ways.

Tell us what stands on your counter today: a fiscal device, a plain printer, or nothing yet. We ring one sale, sign it on each route, and open the filed record beside its ledger entry.
