In their own words
OptaPOS
OptaPOS is a cloud retail point-of-sale platform that connects checkout with inventory, purchasing, customer records, reporting, and multi-store operations. At the register, staff can bill on a touchscreen, scan barcodes, apply taxes and discounts, and print receipts. Stock tracking covers stores, variants, and batches, while listed retail tools include customer credit, loyalty points, promotions, coupons, gift cards, and expense tracking. OptaPOS describes its billing as UAE VAT-ready, with automatic 5% tax calculation and English and Arabic interfaces. It works online and offline. Items, customers, and prices can be imported from Excel or CSV, and reports can be exported to Excel. The maker offers API and integration options for supported reporting and connected business systems, with setup depending on the workflow and configuration. OptaPOS runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, and lists API access. Its intended customers are UAE retailers, from single shops to multi-location businesses. Pricing is available by quotation, with the final amount depending on locations, modules, hardware, implementation, and integration needs.
