Automatic Gate Opener
Read full descriptionHide full description
If you currently open your gate or garage door by making a phone call, Automatic Gate Opener is a new experimental app that can do it for you in the background. Once set up, no manual action is needed. The app monitors your location, and when you approach the gate, at the predefined radius, it initiates the call itself. The call doesn’t come from your phone but from our server. This has several advantages: * Works even if you are on another phone call — no need to hang up or wait. * Easily manage access for friends, guests, coworkers, and others. Easy to share, easy to revoke. If your gate only opens when it receives a call from an approved number, you’ll need to whitelist our server phone number shown during signup. There are many gate manufacturers with different operating logic. This initial version of Automatic Gate Opener may not yet cover all use cases. If something doesn’t work as expected or you have questions or feedback, please contact us at autlo@autlo.com - we’ll be happy to help.
POS SoftSolvIT

Your counter keeps selling when the internet does not. POS SoftSolvIT runs your own Odoo point of sale as a real app on iPhone and iPad. If the connection drops, the server goes down, or the database becomes unreachable mid-sale, the till carries on from a complete local catalogue and syncs every order the moment it can reach Odoo again. WORKS OFFLINE, PROPERLY • Sell, take payment, print and refund with no network at all • Orders queue on the device and sync automatically on reconnect • "Wi-Fi connected" is not trusted: the app probes your Odoo server itself, so a dead uplink reads as offline instead of failing mid-sale • Order and session history fall back to this device's own records when the server is out of reach PRINT TO ANY NETWORK PRINTER, JUST WITH ITS IP • Add a printer by typing its IP address and port. No middleware, no vendor box, no cloud service. • As many printers as you need, 58 or 80 mm, with a test print • Copies per printer, 1 to 9, printed automatically at payment • Prep tickets routed by product category, so each station prints only what it makes, each with its own copy count • Receipt, gift receipt and prep layouts, your logo prepared for thermal paper, plus PDF share • The cash drawer opens on your rule: every order, cash only, or cash and mixed TABLES AND FLOOR PLAN • Take an order by tapping a table. Floors and tables are drawn from the app and saved on your Odoo server. • Add order: one table holds as many separate bills as the party needs • Combine tables into one, and uncombine any of them back out • Merge one bill into another, or link it, without retyping a line • Transfer a bill from one table to another • Two tills on one floor, live. Each sees the other's tables, and a bill is handed over rather than duplicated. • Table bookings that ask whether the party has arrived before clearing • Split an order into two, or split a bill between guests NEW— Finaly EGYPTIAN TAX AUTHORITY eRECEIPTS, NO Odoo module, No Server needed • Report every sale to the ETA from the till itself, with your own credentials. Off until you turn it on. • The QR code and the receipt UUID print on the customer's receipt, so the sale can be looked up. • A test run against ETA's pre-production environment, so you can prove your setup with one of your own products. ORDERS THAT OUTLIVE THE SESSION • Carry open orders into the next session when you close: they keep their items and take new numbers • Save for later, resume a parked draft, or pull another device's draft from Odoo • Live draft: an order is saved the instant it starts, and every edit re-saves it • An idle till holds no order at all, so empty zero-total orders never reach your session or your reports MONEY • Edit payments after validation (rights-gated): the order is marked EDITED and every change is logged • Split payment across methods, automatic change, exact-cent tenders • Service charge, pre-tax sale discount and global discount, with tax refunded proportionally to the correct accounts • Refund from history, partial or full, linked to the original lines so nothing is refunded twice • Cash in and cash out with a reason, written to Odoo as a statement line SELLING • Category grid, product search, and barcode scanning by camera or hardware scanner • Variants and combos, priced exactly as Odoo prices them • Price lists resolved on the device, so prices are right offline • Order types such as Dine In or Take Out, each with its own automatic service charge • Fractional quantities, per-line notes, line discount, manual price edit CONTROL AND REPORTS • Your Odoo rights decide who may discount, edit a price, delete a line, move cash, open a session or see the expected till • Cashier PINs, read from Odoo and re-read when they change • Z-report by payment method with full order detail; closing posts the accounting entry to Odoo, and a close that cannot post says so • Fully localised in English and Arabic with true RTL, light and dark themes, and help on every screen
