INCOTEX 600 ESD Type C Control Unit

Product Overview

The INCOTEX 600 ESD (Type C Control Unit) is a high-end fiscal control device designed for businesses in Kenya that must comply with KRA TIMS (Tax Invoice Management System) regulations. Unlike basic fiscal printers, this Type C control unit acts as a secure electronic signature device (ESD) that validates, encrypts, signs, and transmits every invoice to the KRA in real time.

It is ideal for large retail outlets, restaurants, supermarkets, and multi-terminal environments where multiple points of sale are in use. The device supports integration with POS systems and ERP software, ensuring that all transactions are securely logged and transmitted. Its advanced cryptographic hardware guarantees data integrity, and the system supports over-the-air firmware updates, allowing businesses to stay compliant with changing tax requirements.

Moreover, the INCOTEX 600 ESD is built to be reliable and durable, handling high transaction volumes efficiently. It features multiple connectivity options, including WiFi, Ethernet, and optional 3G, which provides flexibility for fixed or mobile business setups.
