POS ERP Integration

We connect the tills in your shops or restaurants to your ERP, so sales reduce stock as they happen, price changes reach every till and the day's takings reconcile without a spreadsheet in between.

01Our Approach

What sells at the till should reduce stock, post revenue and trigger a reorder without anyone typing the day's figures into another system.

02Overview

Your tills and your ERP sharing one truth

  • 01Sales posted daily
  • 02Stock kept right
  • 03Takings reconciled

POS ERP integration links the point-of-sale system in your branches to the ERP that runs purchasing, stock and finance. Items, prices and promotions travel from the ERP to every till. Sales, refunds, discounts and payments travel back, by transaction or as a summary per shift. Stock is reduced at the right location and takings are posted to the right accounts. A daily reconciliation compares both sides and reports any difference.

It suits retailers and restaurant groups whose managers export a sales report each night and key it into the ERP. The work is rarely about moving data, which is simple. It is about decisions. Which system may change a price, how a refund reaches stock, how tips, vouchers and split payments are posted, and what a till does when its connection drops. We settle those first.

03What We Do

Capabilities, End to End

01
Item and price sync

Products, barcodes, prices, tax codes and promotions are maintained in the ERP and sent to each till, with a record of which version every branch holds.

02
Sales posting

Sales and refunds arrive in the ERP by transaction or as a shift summary, mapped to the right branch, cost centre, tax treatment and revenue account.

03
Stock movements

Each sale reduces stock at its own location, recipes or bundles are broken into components, and returns go back to saleable or damaged stock as marked.

04
Payment reconciliation

Cash, card, voucher and delivery platform payments are posted by type and compared with bank and provider settlements, with differences listed for finance.

05
Offline tolerance

Tills keep selling when the connection drops, and their transactions are sent in order when it returns, with safeguards against anything being posted twice.

06
Daily control report

A report per branch compares till totals with what reached the ERP, so a missing shift or a failed posting is seen the next morning.

06How It Runs

From Kickoff to Launch

01
Map the day
02
Agree the rules
03
Build and reconcile
04
Roll out
01
Map the day

We follow a trading day from opening float to bank deposit with a branch manager and your accountant, and list every figure that is typed from one system into another.

02
Agree the rules

Ownership of items and prices, the level of detail finance needs, tax treatment and the handling of refunds, vouchers and tips are decided and signed off before design.

03
Build and reconcile

The connection is built and run beside the manual process for one branch, and each day's results are compared until they agree to the last unit of currency.

04
Roll out

Remaining branches are added in groups, managers stop the nightly export once their branch has matched for an agreed period, and exceptions are reviewed with finance.

08Who It Is For

Built for Teams Like Yours

FLAGSHIP
Managers retype the day's sales into the ERP

Each night a manager exports a report from the till and keys totals into the ERP. Stock figures lag by a day or more. Price changes are made twice and sometimes differ. Finance finds the errors at the end of the period, when nobody remembers the cause.

09Questions

What buyers ask before they start

If yours is not here, ask us directly. The first conversation is free and useful whether or not we work together.

An interface makes the work cleaner, and most current systems offer one, sometimes on a higher plan or through a partner programme. Where a system has only scheduled exports, an integration can still be built on those files, with data that is as fresh as the export. We check what your system and plan provide before estimating, since this single fact shapes the design.

It depends on what finance and operations need. Individual transactions give full traceability and suit stock control by item, at the cost of volume in the ERP. Shift or daily summaries by product, tax and payment type are lighter and enough for many retailers. A common arrangement posts stock movements in detail and revenue as a summary, and we agree it with your accountant.

The tills should keep trading, which depends on the point-of-sale system itself. The integration then receives the stored transactions when the connection returns and applies them in their original order. Each carries an identifier, so a transaction sent twice is recognized and posted once. The daily control report shows any branch whose figures have not yet arrived.

Tax rates and codes are mapped item by item, and invoices or receipts follow whatever your point-of-sale system produces to meet local rules. Requirements for fiscal devices, electronic invoicing and reporting differ by country and change over time. Your accountant confirms what applies, and we build the postings and exports to those confirmed requirements instead of assuming them.

Yes, and for a business with shops and a web store it is usually the goal. Once tills and the store both report to the ERP promptly, it can hold one stock figure per location and publish what is available online. Shop stock is less reliable than warehouse stock, so we add a safety margin and a quick way to correct counts.
