Built into every system
What ships as standard
What your cashiers, managers and accountant will each notice on day one.
Offline-first
Sales keep ringing up when the connection drops, and sync the moment it returns — no lost transactions.
Your hardware, supported
Receipt printers, barcode scanners, cash drawers, scales and customer displays.
Receipts your accountant likes
Invoices and receipts with the tax details your books need — printed, or sent by SMS and email.
Reports that answer questions
Sales by hour, product, cashier and branch, and an end-of-day close without a spreadsheet.
Staff roles and audit trail
Permissions for discounts, voids and refunds, with every action logged against a name.
Connected to the rest
Accounting, e-commerce and delivery platforms linked, so every sale is entered once.
How a build runs
From the shop floor to go-live
Four stages, the same for every system. It is tested on your hardware, with your staff, before it takes a single real sale.
- Before we quote
Floor visit & quote
We watch how you sell today — counter, stockroom and back office — then scope the system and fix the price.
- Workflow map
- Hardware list
- Fixed quote
- Design sprint
Design & prototype
Counter screens designed for speed and tested with your staff, because every slow tap lengthens the queue.
- Prototype
- Staff testing
- Build sprints
Build & integrate
Weekly releases on your own hardware, with stock import, integrations and offline sync tested under real conditions.
- Hardware setup
- Data import
- Launch & after
Go-live & support
Staff training and a parallel run alongside the old system, then the cut-over — with someone on call when it matters.
- Training
- Parallel run
- Support
FAQ
Questions, answered
What people ask us about building a POS system, before the first call.
It depends on the number of outlets and terminals, the hardware, and what the POS has to connect to — so we quote rather than guess. You get a fixed quote before any work starts, and because you own the system there are no per-terminal licence fees growing with every branch you open.
Off-the-shelf is often the right call, and we will tell you when it is. Custom pays off when your workflow does not fit the box — made-to-order products, unusual pricing, several business types under one roof — or when subscription fees across branches outgrow the cost of owning your own system.
The counter keeps selling. Sales, receipts and stock movements are stored on the device and sync automatically once the connection returns, so nothing is lost and nobody has to re-enter anything.
Usually. Most receipt printers, scanners and cash drawers use standard protocols. We check your exact models during scoping and only recommend replacements where the existing kit cannot do the job.
Yes. The POS and the store read from one stock count, so an item sold at the counter disappears from the website and online orders show up at the till. We build the online store too, if you need one.
Yes — products, prices, customers and opening stock levels are imported before go-live, and we run both systems side by side until the numbers match.
A POS is only useful when it is running, so support is agreed before launch rather than after the first problem. We monitor the system, apply updates and fixes, and agree response times for anything that stops the counter.
