Point of sale
Point of sale software for shops and cafes in the UAE
TAQNIX ERP gives the counter a fast cashier screen, receipts that show 5% VAT in Arabic and English, cash and card payments and a daily closing, on the same books as your invoices and purchases.
What the point of sale does at your counter
Receipts and totals are in UAE dirhams, with the VAT shown as its own amount.
A fast cashier screen
Pick items and take payment in a few taps, so the queue keeps moving at your busiest hour.
Receipts that show the VAT
Every receipt shows 5% VAT clearly and prints in Arabic, English or both.
Cash and card
Record whether each sale was paid in cash or by card.
A daily closing
Close the day and see the cash and card takings added up, ready for review.
Credit notes for returns
Correct a returned sale with a credit note against the original, not by editing the receipt.
Purchases from suppliers
Raise purchase orders to your suppliers and keep their bills with them.
One system for the counter and the back office
Most counters end up with a till in one place and the books in another. Here a sale rung up at the counter lands in the same books as your invoices, credit notes and supplier purchases, so the day does not have to be typed in twice.

The demo runs in your browser with fictional data. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

The pictures come from a design prototype of the Saudi edition: amounts are in SAR, VAT is 15% and some panels mention ZATCA. ZATCA does not apply in the UAE; the edition for the UAE is set up for 5% VAT.
Point of sale software by city
A counter in a port town, a tourist city and an industrial estate does not work the same way. Pick your city to see what matters there.
Point of sale questions from the UAE
Does TAQNIX ERP print receipts that show VAT for a shop in the UAE?
Yes. Receipts show the 5% VAT as its own amount. The details a receipt or tax invoice must carry are set by the tax authority, so confirm them with the authority or your accountant.
Can the receipts be in Arabic and English for customers in the UAE?
Yes. Receipts print in Arabic, English or both, so a tourist and a local regular can each read theirs.
How does the daily closing work?
At the end of the day you close the day and see the cash and card takings added up. Compare them with what is in the drawer and the card machine before you leave.
Which payment methods can I record at the counter?
Cash and card. Each sale records how it was paid, so the closing can total each method separately.
Do I need an internet connection at the counter?
TAQNIX ERP runs on your own Mac and opens in your browser. Everyday invoicing and reports do not need an internet connection.
