Why SalezFlow POS
A till should not need permission from the internet.
A cloud POS asks a server before it will let you sell. That is a reasonable trade for a chain with a leased line, and a bad one for a shop on a counter, on a street, on a day when the line is down. So this one is built the other way round.
What we guarantee
Six promises, and how each one is actually kept.
Not marketing lines. Each of these is a rule the software enforces, and each is something you can test on your own shop in the first week.
A dead connection cannot stop a sale.
The whole app runs on your shop's own computer, against a database on that same disk. There is no request to wait on, so there is nothing for a dropped line to interrupt. The internet is used once at activation, and after that only in the background.
The same packet cannot be sold twice.
Two counters ringing up the last one at the same instant is a race, and the till resolves it in the database rather than on screen: the stock is only reduced by a write that also checks there was enough. One sale succeeds, the other is told there is none left.
Nobody can quietly change what a bill said.
Every line stores the name, unit, price and cost as they were at the moment of sale. Rename a product, raise its price or change its supplier and last month's receipt still reads exactly as it was handed over, and so does last month's profit.
A customer cannot be overcharged into credit they never agreed to.
A credit limit is enforced on the write, not by a warning. Taking a payment twice, or for more than is owed, is refused outright rather than clamped, so a customer's account can never quietly disagree with the receipts behind it.
Charging less is always somebody's recorded decision.
Discounting past your cap or charging other than the shelf price needs a manager's password typed in at the till. The bill records what it would have cost, who approved the change, and why. A cheaper bill is never a number nobody can explain.
A counted drawer stays counted.
When a shift is closed, its figures (expected cash, what was counted, the difference, and the note-by-note tally) are frozen. Voiding something next week cannot change a slip that was printed and signed last Tuesday.
The trade
What you give up, and what you get.
A cloud till is genuinely easier to set up on a second continent. Here is the honest rest of it.
| A cloud POS | SalezFlow POS | |
|---|---|---|
| Sale with the internet down | Blocked, or queued and hoped for | Rings up normally |
| Where your sales data lives | Someone else's server | Your own encrypted disk |
| Cost of reading last month | This month's subscription | Nothing |
| If the vendor's site is down | Shop stops | Shop trades |
| Getting your data out | An export, if offered | One-click full backup, any time |
Questions
The things shops ask before they buy.
Does it really work with no internet?
Yes. Sales, stock, printing, customers, reports and backups all run on your own computer. The internet is needed once, to activate your licence, and then only in the background to keep it valid, and if it is down, the shop keeps trading.
Where is my data kept?
In a single encrypted file on your shop's own computer. Nothing about your sales, stock or customers is uploaded to us. Only your licence check, your contact details and any support ticket you send ever cross the internet.
Can I run more than one till?
Yes. Extra counters connect over your shop's own network and work on the same stock and bills. The owner approves each device before it can do anything, and can cut one off at any moment. How many run at once is set by your plan.
What happens if my computer dies?
Restore your backup onto the new machine and carry on: your staff, products, customers and history come back with it. Your licence moves to the new computer with a one-time code we email to your registered address.
Do I have to be technical to set it up?
No. Install it, answer a few questions about your shop, and start selling. Adding a second till and sharing a printer have their own step-by-step guides, and we will walk you through it.
Can I bring in the products I already have in Excel?
Yes. Upload your spreadsheet, check the preview, and import. If you would rather not type a catalogue at all, there are ready-made starter catalogues for common shop types you can tick your way through.
What about tax?
Set your rate and the till applies it. The tax report groups by rate and reconciles to the paisa with what you actually charged, and every report downloads as a spreadsheet.
Is my staff able to change prices?
Only if you let them. Charging other than the shelf price, or discounting past your cap, needs a manager's password typed in at the till, and every one of those is recorded with who approved it.
Try it against your own shop.
Install it, put your real products in, and pull the network cable. That is the whole argument, and it takes an afternoon.
