ERP development · POS and counter sales
POS software in the UAE is usually bought as a till and then stitched to the accounts with an export at the end of the day. The counter sells an item the warehouse has already promised to a dealer, and the accountant finds out at month end. The counter sales screen in e-tijariX, offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit, is part of the same system as stock and finance, so a sale across the counter reduces the stock figure and posts to the ledger as it happens.
Quick answer
POS software in the UAE records a counter sale, prints a tax-compliant receipt and takes payment in cash, card or by link, while reducing stock and posting to the ledger. In e-tijariX, offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit, the counter screen runs on the same database as inventory, finance and the online store, so a showroom, a trade counter and the website sell from one stock figure. Offline mode keeps selling when the connection drops and syncs when it returns, and the end-of-day close reconciles every tender type.

From the stack
Deliverable 03
Cash, card terminal, split tender, customer credit and a payment link through gateways that are ready to connect, including Apple Pay, Google Pay and buy now, pay later.

Part of our ERP development service. The same architecture-first process, quality control and support apply; tell us the problem and one of our expert engineers will map it to a plan.
Discovery CallNext Orbit sets up counter sales from Dubai for shops, showrooms and trade counters in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across the UAE and GCC.
The setup covers the receipt layout with every VAT field, cash drawers and card terminals, barcode scanning, offline mode for connections that drop, and the end-of-day close that reconciles cash, cards and pay-by-link receipts against the ledger.
A standalone till, a daily Excel export and an accountant who re-enters sales totals, so stock and cash are both out of date and nobody knows the margin on today's sales.
A counter sale consumes the oldest FIFO layer, posts revenue, VAT and cost of sales immediately, and shows in the dashboard beside online and B2B sales.
When the shop loses its connection, sales continue on the counter device and sync later in order, with receipt numbers kept unbroken for the VAT audit trail.
Receipt and tender setup, scanners and printers, offline configuration, the end-of-day close procedure, cashier training and support for new counters as you open them.
Architecture-first
Before a line of production code is written we draw the system: the people who use it, the services behind it and the systems it must talk to. This reference architecture from our ERP development practice is the starting point we adapt to your operation.

How it runs
5 stages, each with a deliverable you can review and sign off before the next begins.
A demo on Next Orbit sample data, then a walk through your counters, tenders, hardware and how returns are handled today.
Receipt layout with VAT fields, cash drawers, card terminals, pay-by-link gateways and discount limits per cashier role configured.
Scanners, receipt printers and counter devices set up, offline mode tested by pulling the connection mid-sale and checking the sync afterwards.
The end-of-day count, Z report and variance posting rehearsed with the cashier and the accountant together on a real day of sales.
Cashiers trained at their own counters, the first week watched closely, then support as new branches and counters open.
Who it is for
Distributors selling across a counter to walk-in trade customers from the same stock as their B2B orders, with trade prices applied automatically.
Retailers who need serial and IMEI numbers captured at the point of sale, with warranty linked to the receipt and returns traced to the unit.
Yards selling bulk units at a counter, with site deliveries raised from the same sale and stock reduced from the yard that supplies it.
Chains with several counters that want branch stock, cash and sales consolidated nightly and compared on one dashboard at head office.

A receipt with every VAT field, barcode scanning, cash and card tenders, returns against the original receipt, offline operation and posting to stock and the ledger. e-tijariX adds pay-by-link, serial and IMEI capture and an end-of-day close that feeds bank reconciliation.
In e-tijariX, yes. The counter continues selling when the connection drops, stores sales locally and syncs them in order when the link returns. Receipt numbers remain continuous, and stock and ledger entries are posted on sync so the audit trail is intact.
Yes. Counter sales, B2B orders and the online store all sell from one stock figure per warehouse. A counter sale reduces the quantity the website shows, and a web order reserves stock the counter can no longer sell.
Each sale posts revenue, output VAT and cost of sales at FIFO cost the moment it is completed, with the tender posted to cash, card clearing or the pay-by-link clearing account. The accountant sees the day's sales in the ledger without an export.
Yes. The cashier sends a payment link by WhatsApp or SMS, or shows a QR code, and the customer pays by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or buy now, pay later through a gateway that is ready to connect. The receipt closes when the payment is confirmed.
Yes. Each branch has its own counters, cash drawers and stock, with branch-scoped access for staff. Head office sees sales, margin and cash by branch in the dashboard and consolidates stock across the group. See multi-branch accounting.
Receipts print the fields required for a tax invoice or simplified tax invoice, including TRN, VAT amount and date, in Arabic and English. Sales flow into the VAT 201 return automatically. This is not tax advice; your tax agent confirms the format that applies to you.
