What you get

Barcode billing software with scanner support for faster checkout

Typing is where mistakes and queues come from. A scan takes it out of the picture.

  • Scan to bill

    Each scan adds the item to the bill with the right price and tax. No typing, no searching.

  • Works with common scanners

    Use the USB or Bluetooth barcode scanners you can find in any market. If it can scan into a text box, it can scan into a bill.

  • Print your own labels

    Create barcode labels with item name and price for products that do not come with one.

  • Use existing barcodes

    Keep the manufacturer’s barcodes on packaged goods and only label what is missing.

  • Fewer wrong items

    A scanned code picks exactly the right item, so similar-looking products do not get mixed up.

  • Count stock by scanning

    Walk the shelves with a scanner to check quantities, and fix differences with a stock adjustment.

Labels

Print barcode labels for everything that does not come with one

Packaged goods already carry a barcode, so keep it. For loose items, your own packs and repacked goods, print labels from LocalPOS.

  • Choose the items and how many labels you need
  • Include the item name, price and barcode
  • Print, stick and start scanning
