Point of Sale
Most of Nama ERP runs in a web browser. Nama POS is the exception: a dedicated desktop application that runs right on the cash register, with a companion Captain Order mobile app for waiters. It is built this way for one simple reason — a point of sale cannot stop selling just because the internet went down.
Offline-first by design
A shop floor is a demanding place: the connection drops, a busy night brings a queue to the counter, and the customer in front of you still expects a receipt in seconds. So every register keeps its own local database, records every sale, return, payment and shift locally first, and syncs in the background up to the central Nama ERP — flushing any queued documents automatically once the connection returns.
This is the single most important idea about Nama POS, and it has its own page below.
