Straight answers

Is POS Software Development right for you?

We would rather recommend less than sell you more. Here is how we judge it.

A good fit when

  • You run several outlets or many terminals
  • Standard POS apps do not fit your workflow
  • Stock and sales must sync with online channels
  • Internet at outlets is unreliable
  • You run one outlet with a standard menu or range

    An off-the-shelf POS app is usually quicker to start.

  • You only need online selling

    See eCommerce Development.

  • Your problem is stock accuracy, not checkout

    Fix stock first; see Inventory Management Software or RFID Software Development.

FAQ

POS Software Development FAQ

What does custom POS software include?

Custom POS software typically includes checkout screens, product and stock management, receipts, staff accounts and permissions, reports, hardware connections such as printers and scanners, and integrations with online stores, ERP and loyalty systems.

Can a POS work without internet?

Yes. We build offline-first POS systems where each terminal keeps working without internet and syncs sales and stock when the connection returns, with safeguards against duplicates.

Should we build a custom POS or buy one?

Buy an off-the-shelf POS for one or two outlets with standard workflows. Build a custom POS for many outlets, unusual workflows, or tight integration with your own online store, ERP or loyalty systems.

Which devices can the POS run on?

Our POS systems run on Android POS terminals, tablets, Windows machines, phones, handhelds and self-service kiosks, connected to printers, scanners and card terminals.

Can the POS connect to our online store?

Yes. We connect POS and online stores to a shared product and stock model, so in-store and online sales update stock in near real time.

How do you roll out a new POS across many outlets?

We pilot in one outlet during real trading, fix what staff and customers reveal, then roll out outlet by outlet with device set-up, menu or product data migration and staff training, keeping the old system available until each outlet is stable.
