OSPOS (Open Source Point of Sale) is a web-based checkout and store management application aimed at retailers and other businesses selling products or services.
It provides a sales register alongside tools for maintaining product information, customer records, suppliers and stock. Staff can handle everyday transactions through a browser, while managers can examine sales activity and keep track of inventory.
The application uses MySQL or MariaDB for data storage and the CodeIgniter framework for its web interface. It offers a relatively straightforward alternative to larger business management suites for organisations whose primary requirements are checkout, stock and sales administration.
OSPOS also provides invoicing, quotations and other facilities that extend its usefulness beyond simple cash register operations.
This is free and open source software.
