Executive Summary

Delivered a Vue-based POS that accelerates checkout, enforces inventory accuracy, and produces actionable sales reports — suitable for retail counters and quick-service stores.

What We Did

Designed and implemented a POS app that handles quick item lookup, order taking, discounts, multiple payment modes, and end-of-day reconciliation. The app supports integration with receipt printers and basic offline recoverability.

Challenges

  • Need for speed at checkout and minimal latency on slow networks.
  • Reliable printing and integration with local hardware.
  • Inventory sync between POS and backend.

Solutions

  • Optimized frontend flows in Vue for quick item search and fast transactions.
  • Added hardware integration layers for printers and cash drawers.
  • Implemented transaction-safe inventory updates and reconciliation reports.

Implementation Process

  1. Mapped common POS workflows and designed a minimal, fast UI.
  2. Built Vue.js frontend and SQL-backed APIs for transactions and inventory.
  3. Integrated printing and offline-safe queuing for orders.
  4. Developed reporting dashboards for sales and inventory.
  5. Deployed and trained frontline staff on usage and reconciliation.

Results & Impact

  • Faster checkout times and fewer transaction errors.
  • Improved inventory accuracy and easier stock reconciliation.
  • Actionable sales reports for owners and managers.

Client Remarks

The POS is robust and fast — it handled our busy shifts and made end-of-day reconciliation much simpler.
