Akar PoS

Read full description

Akar PoS adalah aplikasi kasir (point-of-sale) untuk staf bisnis retail dan F&B yang memakai layanan Akar Partner. Dirancang untuk warung kecil sampai jaringan multi-cabang: kasir cepat sekaligus pembukuan yang rapi, tanpa perlu mengerti istilah akuntansi. Akar PoS adalah bagian dari Akar Partner. Sebagian besar data — item, stok, karyawan, dan pembukuan — tersimpan di Akar ERP; aplikasi ini fokus pada transaksi di lapangan dan tersinkron otomatis. Bila terhubung ke Akar ERP, Akar PoS punya kemampuan sinkron penuh; bila berdiri sendiri, kasir tetap jalan. Kenapa Akar PoS • Kasir cepat: input item sub-detik dengan tile grid berikon atau barcode scan. • Sinkron ke pembukuan: setiap transaksi otomatis jadi jurnal penjualan, pengurang stok, dan setoran kas di Akar ERP. • Offline-ready: transaksi tetap berjalan saat WiFi mati, auto-sync saat online kembali. • Multi-cabang: satu akun, banyak outlet, satu dashboard konsolidasi.
