Techcom TC-WBS-4000 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 22,000, brand new and sealed, at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The Techcom TC-WBS-4000 is a counter-top presentation scanner: it sits upright beside the till and reads barcodes as goods pass in front of its window. It scans at 270 times per second, resolves fine 4 mil barcodes and reads most 1D formats found on Kenyan retail packaging. A USB cable connects the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 to your POS computer, where each scan appears as typed text in the item field, ready for pricing and receipt printing.

Built for supermarket cashiers, busy chemists, liquor stores, bakeries and wholesale outlets across Kenya, the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 tackles the pick-up, aim and put-down routine that slows a handheld scanner at peak hours. On a Friday evening in a Rongai or Kitengela supermarket, that routine repeats for every item in every basket. With the Techcom TC-WBS-4000, the cashier slides each product across the window and moves to the next, keeping both hands free for bagging. Faster lanes mean shorter queues, fewer customers abandoning full baskets, and less pressure on staff during month-end shopping rushes.

Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya that sell counter scanners without a demonstration, Mascom International lets you test the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 on your own stock before paying. It is designed to read damaged, creased and partly faded barcodes, the kind that arrive on goods handled through several distributors. Supermarket owners throughout Kenya tell us the biggest change is how quickly new cashiers get up to speed. Visit our Kimathi Street store, or order through WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to your shop anywhere in the country.

The Techcom TC-WBS-4000 stays fixed on the counter and reads barcodes as items pass its window, while a handheld gun must be picked up and aimed. With a presentation scanner, the cashier never touches the scanner during a sale. Both hands stay on the product, and the next item follows straight away. At 270 scans per second, the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 reads a barcode in the brief moment it crosses the window, which is what keeps checkout lanes moving.

Yes, for a till that serves several hundred customers a day, the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 earns back its KSh 22,000 in saved cashier time. Mascom International prices it at about KSh 60 per day across its first year. Shaving even two seconds off each item adds up quickly when a basket holds twenty products. A small kiosk selling a few dozen items daily will get better value from the Techcom TC-LBS-3550 handheld at KSh 5,650.

No, the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 is a 1D barcode reader and does not decode QR codes, Data Matrix labels or codes displayed on phones. That rules out KRA eTIMS invoice QR codes and digital vouchers. Shops that need those should pair it with, or choose instead, the Zebra DS2208 2D imager from Mascom International at KSh 17,500. For supermarket shelf goods, which carry EAN-13 or UPC barcodes, the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 covers the job fully.

Choose the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 for high-volume lanes where speed on standard product barcodes matters most, and the Zebra DS2208 where code variety matters more. The Techcom TC-WBS-4000 costs KSh 22,000 and works fully hands-free from the counter. The Zebra DS2208 costs KSh 17,500, reads QR and phone screens, but is a handheld that needs a separate stand for presentation use. Many larger stores run a Techcom TC-WBS-4000 on main lanes and a 2D scanner at customer service.

Yes, the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 connects through USB and sends each barcode as keyboard input, so it works with POS software that accepts typed item codes. That includes QuickBooks, Odoo, web-based POS systems and Excel price lists used by smaller shops. Windows 10 and Windows 11 recognise it without extra drivers. Mascom International can confirm compatibility with your specific POS package before purchase if you share its name on WhatsApp.

The Techcom TC-WBS-4000 is built to read broken and poorly printed barcodes, which matters for goods trucked from Mombasa and repacked through several distributors. Creased cartons and scuffed wrappers still register without manual typing. Because it draws power over USB, it keeps scanning while the till runs on a UPS during a KPLC outage. Keep the scan window free of dust and flour with a soft dry cloth, especially in bakeries and hardware stores.

Buy the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 if you run a supermarket, mini-supermarket, pharmacy chain counter, bakery or liquor store with steady queues at peak hours. It suits any lane where cashiers scan continuously. Skip it if your shop serves only a few customers an hour; the Techcom TC-LBS-3550 at KSh 5,650 is enough. Skip it too if QR codes are central to your sales, because the Zebra DS2208 handles those and this scanner does not.

Place the Techcom TC-WBS-4000 beside the POS screen with its window facing the cashier's side of the counter. Plug the USB cable into the computer, open your POS item field and pass a product across the window; the code appears immediately. Configuration barcodes in the user guide adjust beeps, suffixes and scan behaviour. Mascom International staff can walk you through placement and settings on WhatsApp, or show a live demonstration at our Nairobi CBD store.

The Techcom TC-WBS-4000 ships sealed in Techcom retail packaging, and our staff will open and test it with you at collection if you ask. Inside the box:

Delivery customers can check the seal and the contents before paying the rider, under our pay-on-arrival policy.
