Custom POS & Back-Office Systems for Business

A point-of-sale system built around how you sell.

Off-the-shelf POS makes you sell their way. We build point-of-sale and back-office systems tailored to your business — storefront, restaurant, inventory, reporting — integrated with your stack, with AI built in. Yours to own, no per-transaction lock-in.

Off-the-shelf vs custom — the honest version

Let's be straight: for a lot of businesses, an off-the-shelf POS like Square or Shopify is the right answer. It's cheap to start (roughly $0–$250/month per location), quick to set up, and good enough. If that's you, keep it — we'll tell you so.

But off-the-shelf comes with strings: 2–4% per-transaction fees forever, hardware you're locked into, reports that never quite show what you need, and a "sell our way" rigidity that gets painful as you grow. A custom point-of-sale and back-office system flips that — it fits your exact workflow, integrates with everything you already run, drops the per-transaction markup, and is yours to own.

The right call depends on where you are. So we start with a short audit to tell you honestly whether to stay off-the-shelf, extend what you have, or build custom.

Point-of-sale, the way your business works

Retail & storefront checkout

Fast, clean checkout for in-store and online — built to match how you actually ring up a sale.

Restaurant & café ordering

Order-taking, tickets and table or counter flow designed for the pace of a busy service.

Inventory & barcoding

Live stock levels, barcode scanning and low-stock alerts — so you always know what you've got.

Back-office & reporting

One dashboard for sales, transactions and the numbers you actually care about, refreshed live.

Customer accounts & loyalty

Profiles, history and loyalty built in, so repeat customers get recognised and rewarded.

Integrations

Connected to your accounting, ecommerce, payments and the rest of your automated workflows.

AI built in, not bolted on

Because we build it, your system can be smart from day one: an AI assistant that answers customer questions and takes orders, automatic reordering when stock runs low, sales summaries written for you each morning, and anomaly alerts when something looks off. That's the difference between a till that records sales and a system that helps you run the business — part of a wider business automation approach.

Custom POS questions, answered

How much does a custom POS system cost?

Off-the-shelf POS software runs about $0–$250/month per location, plus 2–4% per-transaction fees and $500–$5,000 in hardware. A custom system costs more up front — we scope it from a $1,500 audit and build from $4,500 — but you own it, drop the per-transaction markup, and get exactly what your business needs.

Do we have to replace our current POS?

Not necessarily. Sometimes the right move is to extend or integrate what you already use — like adding a custom back-office or inventory layer on top of Shopify or Square. We only rebuild when off-the-shelf is genuinely holding you back.

Can it work with our hardware and payment processor?

Yes. We build to work with standard POS hardware (terminals, scanners, printers) and integrate with your payment processor and the rest of your tools — accounting, ecommerce, inventory.

Does it handle inventory and reporting?

Yes. Inventory, barcoding, customer accounts and live reporting are all things we build in — and because it's custom, the reports show exactly the numbers you care about.

How long does it take to build?

It depends on scope, but a first working system typically ships in weeks, not months, after a short audit to define exactly what you need.
