In short

A multi-store electronics retailer in the UAE, with a point of sale built to run the counter and answer head office. Head office sees how each store and product line is performing without waiting for a consolidation.

What was the problem?

The client could bill at the counter, but could not easily say which stores were performing or which items actually moved. Each store held its own record, and head office assembled the picture by hand.

What did Helmsman build?

A point of sale that handles the counter properly, with offline support so the counter keeps selling when the connection drops, and treats every transaction as data. Master data is managed centrally and pushed to each store, so every bill is comparable.

Key capabilities

  • Counter billing
  • Returns & reprints
  • Tax & VAT split
  • Central master data
  • Store-wise sales
  • Item-wise movement
  • Payment-mode analysis
  • Offline support at the counter
