Where this matters most
SORS ERP POS is the counter screen for shops that also want proper stock and accounts behind it. Cashiers check in to a counter, open a session with a cash float, scan barcodes, apply discounts, take payment and print a receipt. Every sale deducts stock from the outlet warehouse and posts to the ledger without anyone re-entering it.
It is built around outlets and counters. Each outlet has its own warehouse, counters and staff access, so a chain with three shops in Dhaka and one in Chattogram runs on one system with separate figures. Held bills, POS returns, loyalty lookups and split payments across cash, MFS and card handle the everyday exceptions at the till.
At closing time the cashier counts the drawer and closes the session. The Z-report compares expected cash with counted cash, shows a breakdown by payment method and flags variances by counter. Managers see all outlets from the POS dashboard, and the accounting module receives the day of entries automatically.
How it works
A day at the counter
- Counter check-in, cashier, float
- Scan & bill, barcode, tiers
- Payment, cash, MFS, card
- Receipt & SMS, print or text
- Z-report, end of day
- Accounting, auto journals
What is included
- Outlets, counters and access
- Set up each outlet with its warehouse and counters, then control which staff can log in to which outlet. Counter check-in ties every sale to a cashier and a session, so shrinkage has a name attached.
- Sessions with cash float
- Open a session with an opening cash amount, record cash in and cash out during the day, and close with a counted total. The running balance is tracked per session and feeds the Z-report.
- Barcode scanning and search
- Scan item, variant or serial barcodes, or search by name and SKU, and the cart prices itself with the right tier and promotion. Serial numbers are picked at the point of sale for tracked items.
- Split payments by method
- Take one bill in cash, card, mobile wallet, bank transfer or cheque, in any mix, with tendered amount and change calculated. Card type and last four digits, or the MFS reference, are stored on the sale.
- Held bills
- Park a bill while the customer fetches another item or steps out to send bKash, serve the next person, then resume it. Held bills stay listed for the session until they are completed or discarded.
- Receipts and returns
- Print a receipt from the browser or email it to the customer. POS returns are processed against the original sale, restock the item and issue the refund through the same payment methods.
- Loyalty at the counter
- Look up a customer by loyalty code, show their points balance and redeem points as a payment method on the bill. Points earned on the sale post to their account without extra steps.
- End of day and Z-reports
- Close the day per counter or per session. The Z-report shows sales by payment method, cash in and out, expected versus counted cash and the variance, and a variance check page highlights counters that do not balance.
- Stock and accounting posted
- Every POS sale deducts stock from the outlet warehouse in real time and posts sales, VAT and cash or bank entries through account mapping rules. Sales history is searchable by receipt, cashier or item.
In Bangladesh
Shops here take payment in whatever the customer has: cash, a bKash or Nagad send-money, a debit card on the bank terminal, sometimes a cheque from a regular. The SORS ERP counter records each of those as a separate payment line on the same bill with its reference. The card machine and the MFS wallet stay outside the system; the ERP records the result and you reconcile it against the bank later.
Load-shedding and dropped internet are a fact of retail life. SORS ERP POS is a web application, so it needs a connection to bill. We recommend a small UPS for the counter PC and a mobile hotspot as backup. The app installs as a PWA for quick launch, but there is no offline billing mode yet, and we would rather say that plainly than have you find out at the till.
Receipts print from the browser to your existing receipt printer or A4 printer. Order and payment SMS templates in the SMS module support Bangla Unicode, so a confirmation text can go out in the language your customers read.
Frequently asked questions
Does the POS work offline during load-shedding?
No. SORS ERP POS is a web application and needs an internet connection to bill. It installs as a PWA for fast launch and shows an offline page when the connection drops, but sales cannot be completed offline yet. Most shops run the counter on a UPS with a mobile hotspot as backup.
Can I accept bKash or Nagad at the counter?
Yes, as recorded payments. Choose the mobile wallet method on the bill, enter the amount and the transaction reference the customer shows you, and the sale is settled. The ERP does not talk to the bKash merchant API directly, so the payment itself happens on the customer phone or your merchant app.
Does it support barcode scanners and receipt printers?
Any scanner that types into the browser, which covers most USB and Bluetooth models, works with the terminal, and barcodes for items, variants and serials are generated in the ERP. Receipts print through the browser to your existing receipt or A4 printer.
What is in the Z-report?
The Z-report for a session or counter shows total sales, a breakdown by payment method, cash in and cash out, expected cash against counted cash and the variance. A variance check page lists counters that did not balance so a manager can follow up.
Can one system run several outlets?
Yes. Each outlet has its own warehouse, counters and staff access, and reports can be viewed per outlet or across the business. A cashier in Chattogram cannot see or sell from the Dhaka outlet unless given access.
Does a POS sale update stock and accounting?
Yes, immediately. The sale deducts stock from the outlet warehouse, and account mapping rules post the sales, VAT and cash or bank entries to the ledger. Returns reverse both, and everything appears in the audit log.
