EPOS and self-checkout

One system for in-store, self-checkout and online orders: an EPOS app for staff, a self-checkout flow for customers and online ordering, with card payments handled by the business's own payment provider.

The challenge

A newly funded company came to us with a business model and a concept: one commerce platform that lets small and medium-sized businesses sell in store, at a self-checkout and online. We were asked to build the front end, the back end and the database for the whole product.

What we built

01

Self-checkout experience

A simple, guided checkout flow designed to work for a wide range of businesses, from shops to food service.

02

Hardware integration

Barcode scanners, receipt printers, touchscreens and card terminals, each with its own SDK, brought together so they behave as one product.

03

Back end and database

Products, pricing, stock and orders, designed for speed and reliability across in-store, self-checkout and online channels.

04

Security

Encrypted data, secure network set-up and regular security reviews.

How we worked

We coordinated the hardware suppliers, tested every component together and ran quality checks before roll-out.

The result

One platform for staff, customers and online orders, with a single view of products, pricing and stock.
