A supermarket POS system with stock deducted at the moment of sale
Thousands of items, thin margins and several branches — the till reads the barcode, deducts the item from that branch's stock instantly, and prints a simplified invoice compliant with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority.

What a supermarket till actually needs
Fast barcodes on every item
The barcode scanner works across selling, stocktaking and receiving, and a free barcode generator produces labels for items that arrive without one.
Instant deduction from branch stock
A sale at the till deducts from that branch's own stock immediately, so no paper balance drifts away from what is on the shelf.
Reorder alerts become purchase orders
Every item has a minimum and a maximum per warehouse, and reaching the reorder point turns the alert into a purchase order sent to the supplier.
Damage and returns with a journal entry
Breakage, spoilage and returns are recorded as separate movements, so waste shows up in reports instead of quietly eating the margin.
Shift sessions and multiple tills
Opening and closing a shift with the cash received, several tills in one branch, and every transaction attributed to whoever rang it up.
Branches on one dashboard
Multiple warehouses with independent balances and consolidated reports, and stock transferred between branches electronically.
From the shelf to the ledger
The life of a single item in a supermarket — step by step
- 1Receiving from the supplierThe supplier invoice is recorded and increases the branch balance, creating a journal entry and a payable without a second entry.
- 2Pricing and a barcode labelCost and selling price are set, and a barcode label is printed for items that arrive without one from the supplier.
- 3Selling at the tillScan the barcode, take cash or card or mada, and print a simplified invoice with a QR code on the thermal printer.
- 4Deduction and alertThe balance drops instantly, and reaching the reorder point raises the alert that becomes a purchase order to the supplier.
- 5Closing the shift and reportingClose the till session with its cash totals, then read best-selling items, dead stock and the margin on each line.
