TechTur POS — Point of Sale and Business Management
A multi-tenant point of sale for South African small businesses that runs on the owner's phone, sells offline, keeps a stock ledger and double-entry books, and syncs one stock count with connected online shops such as inFinOwl.
Project Goals
- Let a stall or small shop start selling with the phone it already has, with scanners, printers and card machines as options.
- Keep selling when the internet drops, without losing or duplicating a sale.
- Give owners stock and books they can trust, not just a list of sales.
- Be the shared commerce backbone for TechTur platforms and any app that connects through the API.
Development Process
Three experiences share one API: a touch-first register, a business dashboard and the TechTur Control Centre. The web app is an installable PWA that saves the whole site for offline use and replays queued shifts, sales and cash-ups in order. Ledger integrity is enforced by PostgreSQL itself: journal entries must balance and finished sales cannot be edited. Platforms connect through OAuth, signed webhooks and an SDK, and POS is the single authority for physical stock.
