Tablet-Based POS System for a Departmental Store Chain

A comprehensive POS system for managing sales and inventory of a multi-store departmental chain.

Executive Summary

We partnered with the client to build a customized tablet-based POS system to help them streamline their sales and inventory management activities across all departmental store outlets in South Africa. We built the application for Android-based tablets and iOS-based iPads using the latest technologies. 

We assisted the client with full-stack software development right from analyzing their custom requirements to getting the UI/UX built, implementing the modules and functionalities, testing for bugs and loopholes, and making it live. We implemented an agile working methodology which helped us speed up the app development process. Due to the agile framework, we carried out the development of the Android and iOS app versions in parallel which resulted in timely project completion.

The software was made extremely user-friendly and minimalistic by design since it required handling a huge amount of sales and inventory-related data. 

The store workers ended up appreciating the software platform as it helped them ease up the process of managing sales and inventory without spending much time understanding the software complexities. This saved them a lot of time and helped in boosting the end customer’s shopping experience. 

About the Client

Our client is one of the biggest retail departmental store chain owners in South Africa and has more than 20+ stores under his company. This project started when he was at 5 stores and wanted to build a customized POS system to manage his sales and inventory-related aspects rather than paying for a subscription-based tool that did not accommodate his requirements. 

He explored multiple available POS systems on a subscription model but none of them fulfilled his needs. So, he decided to partner with ChromeInfotech and build his in-house POS system as his business started scaling rapidly. Today he owns more than 20+ stores and uses this custom-built POS system to streamline all sales and inventory management tasks.
