The Challenge

Legacy POS hardware lock-in for small retailers

Local fiscal-compliance rules traditionally mean retailers need dedicated POS hardware tied to a single location. That blocks remote oversight, multi-location consolidation, and modern device choice.

Fiscal compliance traditionally requires proprietary hardware

Multi-location operators have no consolidated real-time view

Backups, updates and configuration require on-site visits

Hardware lock-in limits operator choice and inflates total cost

Our Solution

Cloud-native POS, hardware-flexible

We built a cloud platform that handles fiscal-compliant transactions from any supported device, with central configuration, reporting and operator-level oversight across locations.

Multi-device POS

Run a fiscally compliant cash register from web, tablet or dedicated POS hardware.

Central reporting

Real-time consolidated reporting across locations from a single back-office.

Remote management

Configuration, price-list updates and user management deployed centrally - no on-site visits.

Fiscal compliance

Compliant receipt issuance and audit logging aligned with local fiscalisation rules.

What changed

How the retailer offering changed

The POS reframed from a single-location appliance into a cloud platform retailers can run anywhere.

Hardware

Before

Proprietary POS terminals

After

Multi-device (web / tablet / dedicated)

Retailers pick the device that fits, not the vendor's lock-in.

Updates

Before

On-site visits required

After

Centrally deployed

Configuration, price lists and users updated from one place.

Reporting

Before

Per-location, end-of-day

After

Consolidated, real-time

Operators see all locations at once instead of after the fact.

Compliance

Before

Tied to hardware vendor cycle

After

Maintained centrally in the cloud

Rule changes ship as platform updates, not field visits.

Investment → Operational ImpactNDA

Faster rollout, less hardware dependency per till

Ratio

≈ 2-3x

modeled savings vs. running cost, first year

Incremental revenue

≈ 30-50%

estimated hardware + rollout cost reduction per new till vs. dedicated terminals

Investment

200,000 – 999,999 €

Payback period

Within the first year of rollout

Method

Pre/post comparison of hardware procurement, installation time and update-rollout labor per till

Confidence

Medium - based on rollout-time benchmarks; commercial figures are confidential

Platform-level revenue and transaction volume are owned by the client and not disclosed.

The Outcome

A fiscal till that no longer waits on hardware or a site visit

The platform is in production with real retailers. Customer-specific commercial metrics are confidential; the figures below describe the operational change.

We used to send someone to every location just to update a price list. Now the owner changes it once, from their phone, and it's live everywhere before the next customer walks in.
