POS and counter sales
POS and counter sales connected to your inventory
Run walk-in, cash-and-carry and customer account sales from the same stock, pricing and order workflow as your marketplaces, B2B portal and rep app.
- Cash sales
- Walk-in
- Customer pricing
- Account
- Quick-add cart
- Barcode
- Shared stock
- 1 ledger
Counter sales should not live outside your stock system
Walk-in customers, cash sales and trade-counter orders often happen quickly at the till. If they sit outside the main inventory ledger, marketplaces and the warehouse keep selling stock that has already left the counter.
- Cash-and-carry sales recorded separately from marketplace orders
- Staff cannot apply the right customer price list at the counter
- Barcode scanning updates a till basket but not the main order workflow
- Manual till prices are hard to audit later
- Counter orders bypass pick, dispatch, invoice and payment processes
Treat the till as another sales channel
MaxInvent's POS flow lets staff start a till session for a walk-in customer or an existing trade customer, browse the portal-style product catalogue, scan barcodes into the cart, apply permitted price rules and create a sales order.
- Walk-in / cash sale mode for off-the-street customers
- Existing customer mode using customer pricing, credit and catalogue rules
- Barcode quick-add with USB/Bluetooth scanner, manual entry or camera scan
- Manual till price overrides carried into the order record
- Checkout creates a sales order that enters the normal approve, pick, dispatch, invoice and payment pipeline
Capabilities
What you get with POS & Counter Sales
Till sessions
Open a staff till session for a walk-in sale or a selected customer. Sessions are scoped per device and can be ended cleanly by staff.
Customer account sales
Sell to an existing customer with their price lists, discounts, credit account and order history rather than a generic retail price.
Barcode quick-add
Add products by case barcode, unit barcode, manual entry or camera scanner. Stock availability and orderability are checked before adding.
Manual till pricing
Allow controlled manual prices at the counter while keeping the linked catalogue price and reason visible for audit.
Sales order checkout
Checkout creates a sales order, not a disconnected receipt, so approval, picking, dispatch, invoicing and payment can follow the normal process.
Same stock ledger
Counter sales reserve from the same inventory pool as Shopify, Magento, Amazon, eBay, Temu, reps and the B2B portal.
Built-in automation
The work that runs itself
- Auto-use the selected customer's catalogue and price rules
- Auto-check stock and orderability during barcode scan
- Auto-carry till cart lines into a sales order
- Auto-join counter sales to the same fulfilment and reporting workflow
FAQ
Frequently asked
- Is this a traditional retail POS? +
- MaxInvent's POS is built for trade counters, cash-and-carry, warehouse counters and B2B sellers that need counter sales tied to stock and sales orders. If you need a full restaurant or high-street retail POS with hardware certification, we would scope that separately.
- Can staff sell to existing customers at their agreed prices? +
- Yes. Staff can start a till session for an existing customer, browse the same catalogue rules used by the portal, and create an order with customer-specific pricing and credit context.
- Does POS stock sync back to marketplaces? +
- Yes. POS and counter orders use the same stock ledger, so stock reserved or sold at the till is reflected in the availability that MaxInvent pushes to connected channels.
