Standalone Retail and Grid POS
Standalone POS is the separate till application that keeps working when the internet does not. You sign in online at the start of the day, trade all day whether the connection holds or not, and sync everything back to the ERP before you close. It carries its own sales, returns, payments, items, customers, reports and settings.
Online & Semi-Offline Connectivity
| Stage | What is required |
|---|---|
| Start of Day | An active internet connection to log in. |
| Continuous Operation | None. Once authenticated the app keeps working with the connection down, saving sales locally on the device. |
| End of Day Sync | A connection, to push every locally stored transaction back to the server. |
| Manual Syncing | A tracker syncs pending transactions in one click as soon as the internet returns. |
Sync before the device leaves the counter. Sales held only on local storage exist nowhere else — a lost or wiped device takes the day's takings with it, and there is no copy on the server to recover from.
Selling
POS Overview
The core transaction screen, built for fast entry and a clear running total.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Customer Selection | Pick an existing customer, or add one with +. |
| Sales Type (Price List) | Switches pricing tier — Retail, Wholesale. |
| New Cart | Clears everything and starts a fresh transaction. |
Checkout Payment Pop-up
Payment can be split across several accounts, each row a payment channel. Enter the amount taken on each and allocate it, until the allocated total covers the sale.
Sales Module Overview
The history of sales made on the device, with search and filter controls for finding a particular transaction.
Returns
POS Return Interface
The return header identifies the original sale, so the credit attaches to the right transaction rather than floating free.
Returns Management Overview
Returns already processed, with the same search and filter controls as the sales list.
Payments
Payments Module Overview
Money received against customer accounts, separate from the payments taken at the point of sale.
New Payment Interface
Records a payment from a customer — useful when someone settles an earlier credit sale at the counter.
Items and customers
Items Management and Inventory Control
The item list held on the device, with search and filter tools for isolating specific product data in a long catalogue.
Customer Information Management
The customer list, with search and filter tools at the top of the page so a person can be found without scrolling.
Adding a New Customer
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Customer Name | The person's full name. |
| Company Name | Their business name. For an individual with no company, enter their own name here as well — the field is required either way. |
Customer List Information
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The person or the business. |
| Contact | Phone number or email. |
Detailed Customer View
One customer in full, with history tabs at the bottom listing their past records.
Day Book and reporting
Day Book
The day's trading in summary containers, so the counter can be balanced without leaving the app.
Daily Summary
| Figure | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Net Sales | Sales less returns. Sales of 1,000 with no returns gives net sales of 1,000. |
Reports
The reporting section of the app, built from the summary containers below.
Module Summary Containers
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Sales Reports | Volume of orders, deliveries and invoices, with Today and This Month values for tracking revenue. |
| Returns Reports | Recent return transactions, for monitoring reversals. |
Each card carries a View Details button for the underlying data.
Bank & Cash Account Balances
An account ledger summary showing where the money currently sits.
Quick Actions
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Generate PDF | Produces a formal PDF report for filing or sharing. |
Recent Activity
The latest transactions on the device, for a quick check that what was entered actually recorded.
Dashboard
The app's home screen, pulling the summary containers, balances and recent activity together.
POS Settings
The Settings module configures the app to your business. The General tab holds company information, localisation and core behaviour.
Fields highlighted in blue are fetched from the ERP and cannot be edited here. If one of them is wrong, change it in the ERP — the app will pick it up on the next sync.
Company Information
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Company Logo | The business logo used throughout the app and on receipts. |
| Company Address | Appears on official headers and invoices. |
Inventory & Operational Controls
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Inventory Location | The warehouse stock is deducted from on a POS sale. |
| Allow Negative Stock | Whether a sale is permitted when the count is zero or below. |
| Allow Changing Price | Whether the unit price can be edited at checkout. |
| Barcode Scanning | Enables hardware scanners for quick entry. |
| Update Existing Line Item | Adding the same item twice increases the existing line's quantity instead of adding a row. |
Precision & Localization Settings
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Decimal Places | How many decimal points monetary values display to. |
Reference data
These sections hold the data fields the app reads from the ERP, so the till uses the same definitions as the rest of the system.

|---|---|
| Sales Types | The price lists available at the till. |
| Credit Status | Customer credit standing. |
| Payment Terms | When a credit sale falls due. |
