The brief
A busy counter needs speed, not paperwork.
A retail counter is busy, and the owner needs to know what's selling, what's running out and who owes money. The software has to keep up with all of that, every day.
- 01Billing has to be fast, with a keyboard or a barcode scanner.
- 02Every sale must update stock, so the shop knows what to reorder.
- 03Many customers buy on credit, so balances and payments must be tracked per customer.
- 04Suppliers, purchase orders and returns need the same care as sales.
- 05The owner wants clear numbers: revenue, expenses and profit, without spreadsheets.
- 06It has to keep working when the internet is down.

FAQ
Questions about this project.
What is Novix POS?
Novix POS is our point-of-sale and store management software for retail shops. It handles checkout and receipts, stock and barcode labels, purchasing, customer credit, expenses, users and reports in one Windows desktop app.
Does it need the internet?
No. The data is kept in a local database on the shop's own PC, so the counter keeps selling even when the internet is down. Backup and restore are built in.
Can I try it?
Yes. The live demo runs the same app in your browser with sample data from a made-up store. Nothing is sent to a server, and your changes are cleared when you close the tab or press Reset.
Does it print receipts and barcode labels?
Yes. It prints receipts on 58mm and 80mm thermal paper, with a live preview while you design them, and barcode labels on thermal label printers.
Can you build a POS or store software for my business?
Yes. We can shape Novix POS around your shop or build software around the way you already work. Book a free 30-minute call and tell us what you need.
