uniCenta oPOS is a point-of-sale application designed for retail and hospitality businesses. It accommodates organisations ranging from small independent shops and cafés to businesses operating multiple checkout terminals and locations.
The software provides a graphical sales interface with configurable layouts suitable for different trading environments. Retailers can use conventional checkout screens, while restaurants and bars can manage orders using interfaces tailored to hospitality operations.
uniCenta combines sales processing with product management, stock control, customer information and reporting. It can operate with locally hosted or networked databases, allowing businesses to choose an arrangement suited to their number of terminals and locations.
The application also supports a range of conventional POS peripherals, making it suitable for dedicated checkout hardware.
