# Point of sale

A checkout that keeps up with the queue.

## How does Point of sale work?

The Inventorious point of sale is a browser-based register. Staff scan a barcode or search a product, add it to the cart, choose a payment mode and save. The sale prints or emails as a receipt and stock for that warehouse is reduced immediately.

- **Best for**: Counters, tills and market stalls

## Key capabilities

- Scan barcodes with a handheld scanner or search by name and code.
- Take cash or bank payments and record what the customer paid.
- Print or email a receipt or PDF invoice for every sale.
- Each sale draws down stock in the warehouse it was sold from.

1. Open the register and pick the warehouse.
2. Scan or search products, adjust quantity and discount.
3. Choose a payment mode, save, and hand over the receipt.

## Quick answers

**Who is Inventorious for?**

It suits retail shops, wholesalers, cafes, pharmacies and electronics stores, from one counter to several branches. It is built around physical stock, so firms that only sell services will find much of it unnecessary.

**Which modules are included?**

Seven areas: point of sale, inventory and barcodes, sales, purchases and returns, reports, HRM and payroll, online store, and multi-warehouse with roles. Some modules, such as the online store and report downloads, depend on the plan you choose.

**Which languages are supported?**

The interface is available in English, Spanish and Arabic, and Arabic uses a full right-to-left layout. Administrators can edit translations and add more languages from the settings.
