Retail POS

Offline-first point of sale for real store floors.

A React Native CLI + Node POS built for unreliable networks—catalog, checkout, receipts, and sync when connectivity returns.

  • React Native
  • Node.js
  • MongoDB
  • Offline sync
  • Receipt printing

Product summary

Checkout that works when the network does not

Retail teams cannot pause sales because the internet dropped. Retail POS keeps catalog and checkout local, then syncs securely when the connection returns.

Challenge

Cloud-only POS fails in weak-signal stores and pop-ups. Staff invent workarounds; inventory drifts; end-of-day reconciliation breaks.

Solution

We built an offline-first React Native CLI client with a Node backend: local cart/catalog, queued sync, and multi-outlet inventory rules for when devices reconnect.

Capabilities

  • Offline catalog and checkout
  • Sync queue and conflict handling
  • Multi-outlet inventory views
  • Receipt and hardware hooks
  • Admin console for products and stores

Outcomes

  • Sales continue during connectivity gaps
  • Queued transactions sync without double-charging
  • Multi-outlet catalog with per-store stock views
  • Field and pop-up ready without temporary Wi-Fi projects
