What you get

## Everything the counter needs, connected to everything behind it.

A till on its own just takes money. Odoo POS runs the sale and updates your stock, your customers and your accounts at the same time, so the shop and the back office are never out of step.

### Offline-ready till

If the internet drops, the till keeps selling and syncs every order back the moment it returns. A slow line at the counter never means a stopped sale.

### Live inventory, every branch

Stock, products and prices are shared across all your tills and shops, so a sale in one branch updates inventory everywhere and you reorder from one place.

### Card terminal at the till

This is where our payments work pays off: we wire your Network, Magnati or bank card machine to the Odoo till, so cash and card run through one screen and reconcile on their own.

### Barcode & fast checkout

Scan, weigh, apply a discount and take payment in seconds, with barcodes, quick keys and returns built in for a busy counter.

### VAT-ready receipts

Every receipt shows the 5% VAT and your TRN, and every sale posts to Odoo accounting, so your VAT return is built from real sales, not rebuilt by hand.

### Customers & loyalty

Keep customer profiles, run loyalty and gift cards, and see who buys what, so promotions are based on real history instead of a guess.

How it works

## One system, from the counter to the books.

Odoo POS is not a bolt-on POS system. It is the front end of the same Odoo system that holds your inventory, your customers and your accounts. So the moment a sale happens at the counter, stock drops, revenue is recorded and the books update, without anyone re-keying a thing at the end of the day.

- Sell on any tablet or POS terminal, in-store or at a pop-up

- Cash, card, split and partial payments in one flow

- Live stock and low-stock alerts across every branch

- Refunds, exchanges and held orders handled cleanly

- Sales, margins and best-sellers on a live dashboard

- Everything posts to [Odoo ERP](https://tijaratech.ae/odoo-erp/) and your accounts automatically

| --- | --- | --- |
| Inventory | Live across all branches | Separate or manual |
| Accounting | Posts to the books automatically | Exported and re-keyed |
| Card payments | Terminal wired to the till | Handled on a separate machine |
| Multi-branch | One system, one stock view | A till per shop, no shared view |

| Best for | A shop that wants one connected system | A single counter and little else |

Odoo POS suits UAE supermarkets and grocers, fashion and footwear, electronics, pharmacies, and any retailer running one shop or twenty. It is the same system whether you sell from a counter, a website or both.

## Common questions

**Does Odoo POS work offline if the internet drops?**

Yes. Odoo POS keeps taking sales offline and syncs every order back the moment the connection returns, so a shop never stops selling during an outage.

**Can it manage stock across several branches?**

Yes. Stock, products and pricing are shared across every till and branch, so a sale in one shop updates inventory everywhere and you reorder from one place.

**Can you connect a card payment terminal to the till?**

Yes, and this is where our payments side helps. We wire Network, Magnati or your bank terminal to the Odoo till, so the cashier takes card and cash in one flow and it reconciles on its own.

**Are the receipts UAE VAT compliant?**

Yes. Receipts show the 5 percent VAT and your TRN, and every sale flows into Odoo accounting, so your VAT return is built from real data rather than assembled by hand.

**Do we need to replace our current hardware?**

Usually not. Odoo POS runs on the tablets, receipt printers, barcode scanners and cash drawers most shops already use, so you keep the counter you have.
