POS Module
Point of sale management for tailoring business
The POS Module streamlines daily operations for your tailoring business. It integrates sales processing, inventory management, customer tracking, and reporting in a unified interface designed specifically for tailoring and retail operations.
How the POS System Works
The POS system is built on a modular architecture that integrates multiple components to provide a seamless experience:
User Interface Layer
The responsive front-end interface adapts to different devices (desktop terminals, tablets) and provides role-based views. It's optimized for touch input and includes keyboard shortcuts for efficient operation.
Business Logic Layer
Handles transaction processing, pricing calculations, discount rules, tax computation, and inventory management. This layer enforces business rules and validates all operations before they're committed.
Data Storage Layer
Securely stores all transaction data, inventory records, customer information, and system settings in a relational database with regular backups and transaction logging for data integrity.
Integration Layer
Connects the POS with other business systems through APIs and event-driven architecture. This enables real-time data synchronization with inventory, finance, CRM, and other modules.

Real-World Example
"Ahmed runs a tailoring shop with three locations. Each morning, he checks his POS Dashboard for yesterday's sales and inventory levels. When customers arrive, staff quickly retrieve measurements and order details.
