The cloud POS evolution and how we found a better way
The cloud POS market evolved rapidly, but left small retailers behind. Here's how we arrived at a solution that actually works.
Built in Maldives 🇲🇻 — A lean cloud POS that solved real problems for real retailers. Now powering 700+ businesses with 50+ active daily users.
After years of watching retailers struggle with bloated, expensive systems, we built something different.

Built from real retail experience, not boardroom assumptions
We included only features that retailers actually use daily. No AI predictions, no complex analytics dashboards, no features that sound good in demos but never get used.
Designed specifically for retailers in places like Maldives, Southeast Asia, and Africa. We understand multi-unit sales (pieces, cartons), multi-tax systems, and offline-first requirements.
Every feature was tested in actual retail environments. If it didn't work during a busy sales day, it didn't make it into the product.
No venture capital means no pressure to add unnecessary features or raise prices. We can stay focused on what matters: helping retailers succeed.
All growth through word-of-mouth recommendations. No marketing budget, no sales team. Just a product that solves real problems.
