Odoo Point of Sale implementation

We set up Odoo Point of Sale so every sale at the counter updates stock and accounts immediately, across one shop or many.

The short answer

Odoo Point of Sale is a till system that runs on tablets and computers, keeps working when the internet drops and updates stock and accounts as sales are made. It suits retailers and restaurants that want shop sales in the same system as everything else. BookMyTechies configures the shops, products and payment methods and trains your staff.

What Odoo Point of Sale does

Odoo Point of Sale connects the counter to the back office.

Fast checkout

A touch interface with barcode scanning and product search.

Works offline

Sales continue without a connection and sync when it returns.

Payments

Cash, cards and other methods, with supported payment terminals.

Loyalty and discounts

Points, gift cards, promotions and price lists.

Restaurant features

Floor plans, table orders, kitchen printing and bill splitting.

Real-time stock

Each sale reduces stock in Odoo Inventory.

Is Odoo Point of Sale the right fit?

Odoo Point of Sale suits shops that want integration more than specialised features.

A strong fit when

  • You run one or more shops or restaurants
  • Stock must be accurate across shop and online sales
  • You want sales to reach accounts without re-entry
  • You use, or plan to use, Odoo Inventory

Look elsewhere when

  • You need specialised features for a particular retail sector
  • You are tied to payment hardware Odoo does not support
  • You have a large chain with an established retail system

Common questions

Does it need special hardware?

It runs on ordinary tablets and computers. Printers, scanners and terminals must be compatible, which we check.

Can it manage several shops?

Yes, each with its own tills, stock location and prices.

Does it work for restaurants?

Yes, with table management and kitchen orders.

What happens if the connection drops?

The till keeps selling and syncs when the connection returns.
