Integrated retail POS, order management, payroll and CRM application.

Challenge

SimplePOS had the ambition to develop a flexible and scalable mobile POS solution that also brings together all aspects of a retail business – from payroll to online payment integration – tailored for small to large retail enterprises, serving multiple segments and locations. Our challenge was to architect and develop the system for end user profiles with basic-to-no systems knowledge as a prerequisite.

Solution

Iterative design-build in collaboration with the client and their customers to maintain empathy and ensure end-user experience is truly simple
Security-first approach to user data
Cross-platform build employing a micro-service structure to facilitate easier deployment and separation of concerns
Automated CI/CD process and QA routines, reducing the entire release cycle from days/weeks to under 30 minutes, and always error-free
Automated App and Play Store releases following QA

Results

Our approach to CI/CD is driving SimplePOS’s ability to release features and bug fixes as much as 10 times faster than had been possible previously. With this agility, the SimplePOS application suite achieved dramatic quality and cost reductions.

Additionally, for users, early research indicates that through consolidating and automating business processes, SimplePOS can help achieve an uplift in sales of up to 15% per month per location.
