Enterprise POS. 7 branches.
5,000+ transactions daily. Proof from a real operation.
Generic POS systems break when your business does not fit the template. I build custom point-of-sale systems for operations that need multi-branch support, complex pricing, inventory tracking, and integrations with your existing systems. Built for and deployed at Recycle - a Cape Town recycling operation running 7 branches, 350 employees, and 5,000+ daily transactions.

You need a custom POS if...
Multi-branch complexity
You run multiple locations with different pricing, inventory, staff, and workflows. Your current POS treats every branch the same - or requires expensive per-location licensing that does not scale.
Complex pricing and product logic
Your pricing depends on weight, grade, condition, market rates, supplier agreements, or customer tiers. Standard POS systems do not handle the logic your business requires.
Integration gaps
Your POS needs to connect to your accounting system, inventory management, supplier platform, or reporting tools. Instead, staff export CSVs and rekey data manually.
You have outgrown the vendor
The POS vendor’s roadmap does not match your needs. Feature requests go nowhere. You pay for capabilities you do not use and cannot get the ones you need.
Enterprise POS system - built for and deployed at Recycle
Multi-Branch Operations
Each branch operates independently with its own pricing, inventory, and staff. Central management dashboard provides real-time visibility across all locations. Branch-level and company-wide reporting.
Dynamic Pricing Engine
Pricing based on material type, grade, weight, and market conditions. Per-branch price overrides. Supplier-specific pricing tiers. Real-time price updates that propagate across all terminals.
Inventory & Stock Management
Real-time inventory tracking across all branches. Material grading and categorization. Stock transfers between branches. Weight-based intake with scale integration.
Transaction Processing
Fast, reliable transaction processing designed for high-volume environments. Cash, card, and account payments. Receipt printing. Transaction history and audit trail for every transaction.
Reporting & Analytics
Daily, weekly, and monthly reports per branch and company-wide. Revenue tracking, material volume analysis, employee performance, and financial reconciliation. Export to PDF and CSV.
User Management & Permissions
Role-based access for cashiers, branch managers, supervisors, and administrators. Audit logging for all transactions. Shift management and cash-up workflows.
Why businesses choose custom POS
Your workflow, built in
The system matches your operation - not the other way around. Every screen, every workflow, every automation designed for how your staff actually work.
Scale without per-seat pain
Add branches, terminals, and users without per-location licensing fees eating into your margins. Commercial terms depend on the rollout model and scope.
Integrate everything
Connect your POS to accounting (Xero, Sage), inventory systems, supplier platforms, weighbridges, barcode scanners, receipt printers - whatever your operation needs.
Direct developer support
When you need a change or something breaks, you talk to the person who built it. Not a helpdesk. Not a feature request queue. Direct access.
Commercial model matched to your rollout
Compared with off-the-shelf POS products, custom builds or licensed platform rollouts can be structured around how your operation actually works instead of forcing unsuitable fee layers onto the business.

How It Works
Walk me through your operations
Describe your sales floor, inventory flow, branch structure, and what breaks in your current system. I need the operational picture.
System design and hardware review
I propose a POS architecture covering terminals, receipt printers, scales, barcode scanners, and cash management. Clear scope before any code.
Build, train, and go live
Phased rollout starting with one branch or terminal. Staff training included. Go-live support until the system runs smoothly.
Typical Engagements
Recycle proves the operational requirements and scale. New POS work is scoped according to whether the fit is a POS implementation, customisation and integration work, or BX1X when POS is only one part of a wider operational rollout.
- Operational fit review: days - review your till flow, pricing, branches, reporting, and whether the work is better handled as POS, integration, or a wider platform rollout.
- POS adaptation and rollout: 2-4 weeks - tailor workflows, users, pricing, and reporting around a new operation where the delivery path is clear.
- Customisation and integration work: 4-8 weeks - deeper logic, supplier/accounting integration, branch-specific workflows, or broader operational requirements.
- Fully custom POS build: separately scoped - for operations that do not fit the existing routes.
Proof first, scope second.
Recycle is the hard proof on this page. From there, I scope new work according to the operation, rather than pretending every client starts from the same reusable POS base.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this POS system already built or custom for each client?
The strongest proof here is the Recycle POS build. For new clients, I assess whether the right route is a POS implementation, integration work on the current environment, or BX1X as the better licensed platform option when the requirement is broader than POS.
How long does a custom POS take to build?
It depends on the route. An operational fit review can happen in days. Adaptation or rollout work is often measured in weeks. Deeper customisation takes longer. The 13-month Recycle project is proof of what was built, not the default timeline for every new enquiry.
Can it run on tablets?
Yes. The system is web-based and runs on any device with a modern browser - desktops, tablets, or dedicated POS terminals.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the number of branches, terminals, modules, and customization needed. I provide a detailed quote after understanding your requirements. No per-transaction fees or hidden charges.
Can you integrate with my accounting system?
Yes. I integrate with Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, and custom accounting systems. Real-time sync or scheduled batch updates depending on your needs.
Do you provide training and support?
Yes. I provide staff training during rollout and ongoing support after launch. Direct access to the developer - not a helpdesk queue.
