Predictiv Retail POS delivers a modern, cross-platform point of sale solution built as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Designed for African retail environments, it handles the realities of intermittent connectivity, multi-currency transactions, and diverse payment methods including mobile money.

The solution leverages Predictiv's Application Dictionary-driven architecture, meaning the POS interface is configured rather than coded. This allows rapid customisation for different retail formats — from supermarkets to specialty stores — without development effort. The offline-first design ensures sales continue even when connectivity fails, with automatic synchronisation when back online.

Integration with the Predictiv back office provides real-time visibility into cash, stock, and sales performance. Managers can monitor multiple terminals from anywhere, while head office maintains complete control over pricing, promotions, and inventory allocation.

Why We're Building This

African retailers face unique challenges: unreliable connectivity, multi-currency environments, and diverse payment methods including mobile money. Traditional POS systems either require constant connectivity or use expensive hardware with proprietary software.

Predictiv Retail POS addresses these challenges with a PWA that runs on any device with a browser, works offline when needed, and integrates seamlessly with Predictiv's inventory, purchasing, and financial modules. Retailers get enterprise-grade POS functionality without enterprise-grade complexity or cost.

Early deployments are showing significant benefits: reduced till downtime due to connectivity issues, faster transaction processing, and improved cash reconciliation accuracy through integrated settlement workflows.
