salespoint

C++/Qt based POS (point of sale application) for Linux and Embedded Linux

salespoint is a point of sale (POS) system designed and developed by Inteligy Software Enterprise (InteligyWare). It was inspired by Sage (Developped by Sage) and nTPV (An open source POS developped by Napsis Corp). salespoint is developped to provide an open source alternative to sage.

It was initially designed to manage restaurants, bars, cafes, and similar businesses, but now, it's evolving into a general purpose POS. It uses DCOP and nkxmlrpcd for distributed comunications among POS, and uses PostgreSQL as its database backend. It features a fast and easy-to-use interface. Its high modularity and scalability makes it easy to enhance and mantain. It's developped with a plugin approach.

InteligyWare provides other plugins that add more features to the POS systems like:

-[ DCOPAuth ] Biometric fingerprint autentication of waiters and users.
-[ DCOPRECEIPT ] Easy use of orders, tables, and invoice saving... no more ordering notebooks are needed
-[ DCOPREPORTS ] Reports generated with this plugin allows to obtain information to increase benefits.
-[ DCOPSTICK ] Manage your backups and store your reports with USB storage drives.
