Codeblix EBS vs TPOS

TPOS is a South Africa-focused point-of-sale system. Codeblix EBS is the Mauritius-built, MRA-listed alternative for businesses that need local compliance and a full business stack rather than just a till. Here is the honest comparison.

TL;DR verdict

TPOS is built for South African SARS compliance, not Mauritius MRA. It is a strong till but does not include accounting, inventory depth, payroll, or CRM. Codeblix EBS is MRA-listed (SN 95), includes everything TPOS does plus the full business stack, and is priced in MUR with local support.

Feature-by-feature comparison

The table below compares the two on the features that matter most to a Mauritius retailer or hospitality business.

Where Codeblix wins

Codeblix is built for Mauritius. MRA fiscalisation, hash chain, IRN, QR codes - all in. Accounting, inventory, payroll, and CRM are included. Pricing is in MUR and support is local.

Where TPOS wins

TPOS has strong South African market presence and a well-tuned till experience. If you operate in South Africa and need SARS compliance, TPOS is a good choice. For Mauritius operations, it is the wrong product.

Pricing comparison

Codeblix EBS starts at MUR 970 total per month per company, with a maximum of MUR 2,000 per month. No VAT is added. The price depends on invoice volume, processing needs and your current system or integration complexity. All EBS features, supported integrations, unlimited users and technical support are included in your agreed subscription. No onboarding fees or additional Codeblix EBS fees. Unlimited invoices are subject to fair use. Unlimited invoices cover normal business use within your agreed processing scope. Bulk imports and AI reading are processed within service capacity; file and provider usage limits apply. If your invoice volume, processing needs or system connection changes substantially, we review the scope with you and agree any subscription change before it takes effect, within MUR 970–2,000 per month. There are no automatic per-invoice overage charges. TPOS pricing is ZAR-denominated and would need FX conversion plus SARS modules. For a Mauritius business, Codeblix is the only MRA-compliant option of the two.

Who should choose which

Choose Codeblix EBS if you operate in Mauritius and need MRA-fiscalised POS receipts. Choose TPOS only if you operate in South Africa and need SARS-compliant receipts.

How to choose between these options

The right choice depends on where the business operates, how invoices are issued, and whether MRA compliance is built into the product or handled through a workaround. For a Mauritius taxpayer, the safest option is a system designed around local fiscalisation, VAT, credit notes, offline mode, and audit reporting from the start.

Global accounting or POS tools can be strong in their original market, but they often need extra configuration, connectors, or manual steps before they fit the Mauritius EBS workflow. That creates operational risk: staff may issue documents in one system, reconcile in another, and then depend on manual exports when something goes wrong.

What Codeblix focuses on

Codeblix focuses on the Mauritius workflow first. It combines MRA-listed e-invoicing with surrounding modules such as POS, inventory, accounting, reports, and customer management. This makes it easier for local businesses to keep one clean operational record.

Best-fit recommendation

If your business mainly needs international bookkeeping and already has a separate listed EBS, another tool may still fit. If you need one Mauritius-ready platform for fiscal invoices and daily operations, Codeblix is usually the cleaner route because compliance is part of the core product, not an afterthought.
