(Owner should manage the manager, while
manager manages the salesRep).
2- Ability to work offline and can
upload/update data from database
3- stocks in the inventory should tally with
sales.
4- SalesRep function is to checkout customer,

customers that can be given goods on
credit, create usernames/passwords for
the salesRep and also inherit salesRep
function.
6- Owner has rights to set discount, financial
records, profit and loss, sales summary ,
summary of stocks in inventory summary of
all credit given to customer and also inherit

A robust system like this requires UI/UX design. Having the design will save you lots of stresses bro.


I'm available in case you need a UI/UX designer

Contact me I have developed an app like this before
Whatsapp or call
08098039064

Let's talk on Whatsapp. I can develop it for you 09028857684

I will not want to solo this project. I am a kotlin developer so if there is a team Whatsapp me at 08136503858

i have done ds kind of project before using PHP, contact me from my signature to get started

At OP this is a complex project and to make sure you are working with the right developer the agreement should be that you only pay per delivery of each functionality and you have tested it and it works fine.

How is developing a POS a complex project for goodness sake. When there are loads of this same project all over the internet. The OP's scope self is very limited for what a POS can do and shows that he has not been "dealt" with by retail staff

In that case quickly create the a web version in stages as listed by the OP and I will provide free hosting for you so that we can test each stage as you go.

I don't need to develop them. I already put two solutions up. ERPNEXT and OSPOS. Both with APIs

You asked how is it is a complex project, that was why I asked you to develop one quickly and I will provide you with free hosting. Off-the-shelf software like the ones you've posted above does not meet specific needs of a business that's why businesses that can afford it do employ project managers, business analysts, programmers and testers to develop their own custom applications.

Hilarious! Very hilarious! I guess you also don't use off-the-shelf IDEs and off-the-shelf Productivity tools like Microsoft office.

The two solutions I mentioned completely meet and exceed the OPs requirements. COMPLETELY. OP is asking for functionality to "add" inventory. That's not how it's done on the business world. You purchase stock and receive them into inventory in a process called "Order to pay". These are all standard processes that any basic ERP should provide so I don't get where you are going with all these off-the-shelf blah blah. Retail process are standardized and repeatable that's why you have business like Twitter already developed POS software like these for general use. Retail is one of the most understood businesses.

Yes IDEs and Microsoft office have their own use, but businesses that can afford it still gets the right team together to build a custom software for them which the ones you have mentioned cannot do.

The OP needs a mobile app which has offline functionality and a local DB is better for this, which the ones you have listed does not have. Also they do not have options for Owner, Manager and Profit and Loss Accounts. The truth is that what the OP needs is only available by getting a good programmer with BA skills together with an accountant to give them financial specs.

ERPNENEXT doesn't have capability to implement Owner and Manager user profiles with accompanying rights? Or doesn't have the ability to generate Profit and Loss? Or doesn't have an Android app? Or you did not bother looking it up? ERPNENEXT that is not only able to manage the OPs basic POS requirements but is also able to manage the entire retail business, generating Balance Sheet, managing Purchase Orders, Inventory and Warehouse operations, HR and Payroll and all? Or are you just hell bent on piecing together bits of code?

It's surprising how folks think rewriting code from scratch everytime is a show of their programming prowess. POS aka Checkout management aka Retail Management System is one of the verticals with the most available over-the-shelf solutions. There's nothing in the OPs request that doesn't currently exist as a free (open source) or paid solution. NOTHING. Even a basic account with Square POS or Loyverse completely meets OPs requirements. He hasn't mentioned Loyalty points which is something a lot of retail businesses eventually need, in order to promote return customers.

There is no where on ERPNENEXT's site that mentions mobile app version and even to use the free Self host version on a PC and VPS, OP will still need a good python developer to configure and implement.

So would your solution not require someone to configure and implement? Let's not talk about the time that will be lost waiting for you to develop versus the ability to go live immediately with ERPNENEXT or OSPOS

For both apps the OP will still need a good Python or PHP developer to install and configure the POS application for him.

Here it says about ERPNENEXT
While easy to use, ERPNext like any ERP is a complex system. Taking the help of a qualified consultant will go a long way in ensuring the system is optimally configured for your needs.

And deploying ERPNEXT or OSPOS is a complex process? For an IT professional deploying these easy apps is a complex process? Software that have publicly documented install process? Compared to your custom built solution that hasn't been used anywhere else?

Okay it's complex. I agree. Go ahead and build one from scratch

You are right. A POS software is a very complex software. OP should make sure they are working with the right developer like you and have an agreement to only pay per delivery of each functionality that has been tested it and works fine.

I have given the OP a professional advice based on my over a decade software development experience in Europe and having my own SASS application currently being used by professional firms in Europe and you have also given the OP other options of an off-the-shelf POS application. Going on the links you posted earlier there was nothing to indicate that they also have a mobile app version and I pointed this out as well as having owner and manager like the OP would like it.
Now it's up to the OP to decide which option is best for them.

When people come around throwing "my over a decade software development experience in Europe" I get completely irritated because I probably set foot in Europe before you even knew where Europe was. And schooled there as well. And worked there too. So please dey your lane and don't think spending 10 years working in Europe is some kind of license to be an authority in ordinary POS checkout system that OP isn't even able fully spec out. I'm done.

I will make it clear to you again that businesses that can afford it do get their own software development team together to create their own custom software with their own specific requirements which an off-the-shelf does not provide. It's up to the OP to try an off-the-shelf to see if it will suit them.
The OP spec is clear enough and it just requires a few clarifications for a development team to be sure about their requirements.

Here are some disadvantages from online reviews of ERPNext at https://www.capterra.co.uk/reviews/164441/erpnext
"The software slows down most times, the offline sysnchronization time is slow, and also its still lacks a lot of features."

"Bugs. Unfortunately, open source means that some code is not high quality. Another factor is the poor management of Git pull requests. I've created several bug fixes that languished until deactivated by automated robot after a month or two with little response from product owners. Many of these bugs are quite serious, particularly around the payroll module. Many, less serious and obvious issues, exist over major versions without resolution."

"Poor user portal, lack of deep dev documentation especialy for the js (client) side"

You can get irritated, but the truth is that computers and software development originated overseas and getting many years of experience in those countries where they originated has a very big advantage.

And to even irritate you further I have worked on projects paying over 500 euros a day to write new custom software for organisations that can afford to put a software team together to write their own requirements. Such organisations will not spend over 500 euros on developers, BAs and project managers if on off-the-shelf software was available the meets all their needs.

€500 per diem is supposed to "irritate" me? Come around when you are pulling £1000 per diem on an SAP project
