One engine, genuinely different screens. A pharmacy needs batch and expiry, a restaurant needs kitchen tickets, a karyana store needs loose weight and khata — so those are different builds, not different settings.
Most POS products are one generic till sold to every kind of shop, which is why so many are abandoned within a few months: the shop works around the software instead of the other way round.
We build the shared core once — billing, inventory, purchases, customers, reporting, multi-branch — and then the screens and rules that make it fit your counter. Each page below describes exactly what changes for that trade.
Table management, kitchen tickets, modifiers, split bills, delivery and recipe-level stock — one restaurant POS instead of a till plus four disconnected tools.
Read moreOne-screen ordering, combos and deals, token numbers, a customer queue display and kitchen tickets — a POS measured in seconds per order.
Read moreBarcode billing, purchases, supplier records, promotions and loyalty — a retail POS whose stock report you can still trust in month six.
Read moreSeveral counters billing at once, weighing scales at the produce section, department-wise stock and promotions that price correctly at every till.
Read moreMixed stock, one or two counters and a small team — a mart POS that stays simple enough to actually be used every day.
Read moreLoose weight items, familiar item names, and a khata ledger that replaces the notebook — billing software that fits how a karyana shop actually trades.
Read moreSize and colour variants, article-wise stock, easy exchanges and season sale pricing — a garments POS that knows one design is thirty separate stock lines.
Read moreBatch numbers, expiry dates, salt-wise search and supplier returns — pharmacy software where the stock record is specific enough to be safe.
Read moreConsultation fees, procedures, lab tests and dispensed medicines billed against the visit — with doctor shares and daily collections calculated for you.
Read moreWeighed sweets and per-piece bakes, daily production planning, custom cake orders with advances, and honest wastage tracking.
Read moreAppointments, staff-wise service billing, commission calculation, packages and product retail — one system for the chair and the counter.
Read moreBag, tonne and truckload units, delivery challans, freight costs and contractor credit — billing software shaped around how building material actually trades.
Read moreFast search across thousands of small items, loose and packet units, rack locations and contractor credit — a hardware POS that survives a real counter.
Read moreCustomer-wise rates, slab pricing, credit terms with ageing, delivery challans and van sales — built for selling to shops rather than to walk-ins.

A point of sale system is the software that records a sale at the moment it happens, and then keeps every consequence of that sale straight. The sale itself is the easy part. What separates a POS system from a calculator with a receipt printer is everything that has to stay correct afterwards.
There are four jobs underneath it, and a system that does three of them well and one badly will still cost you money:
These are sold interchangeably and they are not the same thing. Billing software produces an invoice. POS software produces an invoice and updates your stock, your supplier ledger and your margin at the same time.
If you only need a printed bill with your name on it, billing software is cheaper and simpler and there is no reason to buy more. The moment you need to know what you actually have in stock without walking to the shelf and counting, you need a POS system. Most businesses that regret their purchase bought the first when they needed the second.
This is the most consequential decision in a POS purchase and the one that is explained least often. It is not a question about technology preference; it is a question about what happens to your counter when the internet drops.
A cloud POS keeps its data on a server and needs a connection to sell. It gives you reporting across branches from anywhere and takes backups out of your hands. When the connection goes, the till stops.
A local POS runs on the machine at the counter and never stops for the network. It also gives you no consolidated view across branches, and the backup is your responsibility — which in practice means it is nobody's.
Local-first with sync is the third option and usually the right one for a shop that cannot afford to stop selling: the sale is written locally and pushed up when the connection returns. It costs more to build correctly because the conflict cases are real work, which is why plenty of products claim it and fewer implement it properly. Ask to see what happens on a deliberately disconnected terminal.
Multi-branch is where POS purchases most often fail after the fact. A system that works on one counter can be genuinely unusable across three, and the reasons are not visible in a demo.
The questions that decide it are boring and specific:
WizeCodeLabs builds POS software rather than reselling a product. That matters in one specific situation: when the way your trade works is the thing the off-the-shelf system cannot express.
A pharmacy sells the same medicine in several batches with different expiry dates, and a system that treats stock as a single number cannot support returns or claims honestly. A karyana store sells by loose weight and runs a credit khata that a card-first product has no field for. A restaurant needs the kitchen to receive the order, not just the cashier. These are not preferences; they are the trade, and working around them daily is how software gets abandoned.
Custom is not automatically the right answer. If a ready-made product already fits how you work, it is cheaper, it is available today, and someone else maintains it — buy it. Custom earns its cost when the gap between the product and your operation is something you would otherwise pay staff to bridge by hand, every day, indefinitely.
What we do not do is claim a system is custom because a logo and a colour were changed. Custom means the data model matches your trade.
Every project follows the same sequence, and the early steps are the ones that decide whether the rest goes well: discovery, consultation, written requirements, a proposal with a fixed scope, an agreement, development, QA, deployment, training, and support.
Two things about that are worth saying plainly. Nothing is built before the scope is written down and agreed, because a POS project that starts from a conversation ends in a disagreement about what was promised. And training is a real phase, not a handover email — software that the counter staff find slower than the notebook it replaced will be bypassed within a month, whatever it can do.
Data migration is usually the step that surprises people. Bringing existing stock, suppliers and outstanding credit across is real work, and doing it badly poisons every report afterwards.
A POS system holds your prices, your margins, your supplier terms and your customers. Three controls matter more than any feature:
This is for a business whose stock or billing has outgrown what a notebook or a spreadsheet can hold honestly — typically when you cannot answer "what do I have in stock" or "what did I make on that" without going and looking.
It is not for everyone. A single-counter business with a dozen products that all sell quickly, no credit customers and no suppliers to reconcile does not need a POS system, and will not get value from one. If that is you, we will say so.
We will map it, tell you what is worth building first, and quote a fixed price against a written scope.
