Platform

One retail operations platform for every store

CitiXsys builds iVendNext, the open retail platform. Run every store. Connect anything. Build what you need. iVendNext is the retail operations platform that runs your stores, your stock and your web store, connects to the ERP you already run, and stays open for your partner and your own team to build on.

What the platform does, job by job

iVendNext is organised the way a retail business works. Take the jobs you need: each one runs on the same stock ledger and the same customer records.

The platform map

Where iVendNext sits beside the systems you run

iVendNext runs the stores and the stock. The Integrations Hub connects them to the ERP and the web store you already run: sales, returns, receipts and transfers go to the ERP, and items, prices, customers and vendors come back. Your partner, your own team and their AI build on top, through extension points.

SAP Business One connects through its own dedicated connector. SAP S/4HANA connectors are built for each customer on the Integrations Hub. Any other system connects through the APIs and the event feed.

The iVendNext platform map At the top, the Build layer: partner apps, reference apps, your own team and apps built with your AI, joined to the platform through extension points that stay safe across upgrades. In the middle, iVendNext with one stock ledger across every store, holding two jobs: Run the store, with iVendNext POS on till, tablet and phone, loyalty and promotions, payments through your own provider, fiscal rules by market and selling offline; and Run the stock, with iVendNext Handheld on a phone or scanner, receiving, moving, counting and picking, inventory and buying, and Foresight drafting purchase orders. Below, the Integrations Hub, one screen for every connection. At the bottom, your ERP (SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA built per customer, Acumatica, NetSuite, Sage X3 and many others) keeps finance, and your web store (WooCommerce and others) sends online orders into the same stock ledger. Sales, returns, receipts and transfers flow to the ERP; items, prices, customers and vendors flow back. Products, prices and stock flow to the web store; orders, customers and refunds flow back.
Your choice

Use all of it, or connect what you have

Some retailers want one system for everything. Others already run an ERP and a web store and want their stores to work with them. iVendNext is built for both.

Use all of it

Accounting, buying, stock, selling and light manufacturing in iVendNext, with the same POS and Handheld in your stores.

Connect what you have

Your ERP keeps the books and iVendNext runs the stores. Sales, returns and receipts post to your finance system, and every connection shows on one screen.

Build what is missing

When your business needs something special, your partner or your own team builds it on documented extension points, and the next upgrade keeps it running.

Run the store

iVendNext POS on till, tablet and phone

The same iVendNext POS runs on a counter till, a tablet and a phone, so staff learn it once. Sell, return, park and recall, take loyalty and promotions, and send a discount over the limit to the manager’s own phone. When the network drops, the till keeps selling and catches up when it returns.

A markdown over the cashier’s limit goes to a manager, who approves it from their own phone.

Run the stock

iVendNext Handheld, from the warehouse to the shelf

Receive deliveries against the purchase order, move stock between locations, count shelves, pick, pack and deliver, on a phone camera or a rugged scanner. Every movement is a real stock document, on the same ledger the stores sell from.

Build

Build what you need, and keep it through every upgrade

Partners and your own team add to iVendNext without changing it. Apps add, they never patch, so the next upgrade keeps their work running. Describe it. Your AI builds it. Our checks keep it safe.

  1. Configure. Settings, workflows, print formats and till screens in iVendNext Desk and POS Studio. No code.
  2. Outside app. Your own service, in any language, on your own server, using the REST API and the event feed.
  3. Till key. A key on the till that calls your web service and shows the cashier a message or adds details to the sale.
  4. Manifest. Your own records, fields, print formats, workflows and numbering, shipped as data that we install.
  5. Sandboxed function. Logic that runs on the till itself, even when the network is down.

Questions

Questions about the iVendNext platform

A retail operations platform runs the daily work of a retail business in one place: selling at the till, moving and counting stock, and keeping both in step with the finance system. iVendNext does this on one stock ledger across every store, and connects to the ERP and web store you already run.

In the store, iVendNext POS sells on a till, a tablet or a phone, with loyalty, promotions, payments and fiscal rules for your market. In the stockroom and warehouse, iVendNext Handheld receives, moves, counts and picks stock. Online orders from your web store land in the same stock ledger the stores sell from.

Yes. Use all of iVendNext as one system, or take the jobs you need and connect the systems you already have. Apps from the App library add more when you need it.

Your ERP keeps the books and iVendNext runs the stores. The general ledger, payment runs, period close and statutory reporting stay in your ERP, and iVendNext posts the sales, returns, receipts and transfers your stores create. For retailers who want one system, iVendNext also offers a complete back office.

iVendNext connects to SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA, Acumatica, NetSuite and Sage X3, and many others. A partner connects any other ERP with the iVendNext kit, and the Integrations Hub shows every connection on one screen.
