Billing POS

A full retail point-of-sale, minus the SaaS bill.

Status Live & battle-tested — in a retail shop for 4+ months Platform Web — runs on the shop's own PCs Role Product, design & engineering
The problem

POS software punishes small shops twice.

01

Retail POS systems either charge a subscription per terminal forever, or they're desktop relics that fall apart the moment a shop adds a second counter. Add-ons for barcode labels, card terminals, and stock reports each cost extra — and the shop's own sales data lives on someone else's server.

Billing POS runs on the shop's own machines: one PC acts as the server, every other PC becomes a terminal, and everything stays in sync live over the local network. The shop owns its hardware, its data, and its bill.

What we built

Counter to back office, one system.

02
01

A register that keeps up

Barcode scanning, discounts, multiple tenders, parked orders and open tabs — built for the pace of a shop counter at 7 pm, not a demo video.

02

Every terminal in sync

Run one server PC and any number of cashier PCs on the shop's own network. Every sale, stock change, and price update appears on all terminals in real time.

03

Barcodes minted in-house

Add stock and the system mints a unique CODE128 barcode per unit, ready to print as label sheets — no separate labelling software or pre-printed rolls.

04

Card payments, ready to go

A pluggable payment layer with a Pine Labs Plutus adapter for Indian card terminals — and a built-in simulator so the register works fully before hardware arrives.

05

Staff roles & accountability

Admin, manager, and cashier permissions, with transaction history filterable by till, cashier, status, and date range when questions come up.

06

The whole back office

Products, categories, stock with low-stock alerts, a customer database with purchase history, and 80mm ESC/POS-friendly receipt printing.
