A counter that closes cleanly and an accounting system that does not wait for anyone. Every sale, discount, void and drawer count sits under a named cashier — and posts through to the general ledger without a second entry.
Fast enough for a queue, strict enough for an audit. Nothing leaves the terminal without a name, a number and a trail.
Scan at the counter or from a phone, generate and print your own labels, and keep a scan log of what was read and when.
Set your VAT rate, choose inclusive or exclusive pricing, and run receipts on your own official-receipt prefix and running number.
Close the day with gross sales, VAT sales and VAT amount broken out per terminal and branch, recorded and reprintable.
Shift open and close, cash counts, drawer movements, voids, returns and reprints are all tied to the person who did them.
Park a basket, serve the next customer, bring it back. The queue keeps moving without anyone losing a sale.
Percentage or fixed discounts with expiry, plus a customer register and loyalty programme that recognises repeat buyers.
Register each terminal to a branch, with a customer-facing display and price check so the floor can answer without opening a till.
Process a return against the original sale and reprint any receipt, with both actions recorded rather than silently allowed.
The same products the counter sells are the ones purchasing orders and the stockroom counts. One record, not three that disagree by Friday.
Raise a purchase order against a supplier and receive against it, so what arrived is checked against what was ordered.
Every movement in, out or between branches is written down, so a discrepancy has a history rather than a guess.
Count on a schedule or on the spot, and see the variance against the book figure before you commit it.
Bring an existing catalogue in and take your data out again. Your products stay yours.
Most point-of-sale software stops at the receipt and hands you a spreadsheet. WorkVia's POS sits inside the accounting system, so a day's takings are already journal entries — posted, balanced and reconcilable — before anyone opens a book.
A sale is rung up, discounted, tendered and receipted at the terminal.
VAT is split out and the sale is attributed to its branch, terminal and cashier.
A balanced journal entry is created against your own chart of accounts.
Z-readings, drawer counts and the ledger are compared against each other, not assumed.
The accounts are yours and are mapped, never hard-coded — the same mapping the rest of the platform posts through, so cash, sales and VAT land where your accountant put them.
Worth knowing before a demo rather than after a deployment.
