One till

One till on terminal, tablet and phone

One iVendNext POS runs every lane. Weighed items, lots and the age check are in the same app on every device, so a cashier trained at the counter can sell from a tablet on the shop floor or a phone in the queue.

Counter terminal

The full lane: scanner, scale labels, drawer, receipt printer and customer display.

Tablet

A second lane at busy hours, or the price-checker kiosk on the shop floor.

Phone

Line-busting in the queue, and the way to an item’s shelf answered in the aisle.

The same till on three devices. A counter terminal, a tablet and a phone, each showing the same sale with its Pay button.

Works with your ERP

Your ERP keeps the books. iVendNext runs the stores.

Keep the ERP you already run for finance. iVendNext sits beside it and runs the lanes, the fresh stock and the shelf prices. It connects to SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA, Acumatica, NetSuite and Sage X3, and your iVendNext partner connects any other ERP, a regional one included, with the iVendNext partner kit.

SAP Business One

Products, customers and prices in step with your stores; sales, returns and transfers posted back.

SAP S/4HANA

Your stores beside the SAP system that keeps your books.

Acumatica

Items, prices and customers from Acumatica; sales, returns and payments go back to it.

NetSuite

Your stores beside the NetSuite account that keeps your books.

Sage X3

Your stores beside the Sage X3 system that keeps your books.

Any other ERP

Connected by your iVendNext partner with the iVendNext partner kit, a regional ERP included.

WooCommerce

Your web shop kept in step with your stores’ products, prices and stock; web orders come back to iVendNext.

Set up for you

Set up by an iVendNext partner near you, or by your own team

An iVendNext partner in your region can set up your stores, your scale labels and your apps, train your teams and support you day to day. A retailer with its own developers can do the same itself.

When your stores work differently, your partner or your developers can copy any app in our library and change it to fit: your own markdown steps, your own recall routine, your own links to the systems you already use.

Bring every supermarket operation together

Connect POS, inventory, purchasing, promotions, loyalty and online orders across every store, beside the ERP that keeps your books.

Supermarket POS questions

Supermarket POS software FAQs

Straight answers on supermarket checkout, fresh stock and offline selling.

Supermarket POS software should support fast scanning, weighted items, promotions, payments, fresh inventory and multi-store control. It should also keep essential checkout functions available during connectivity problems.

iVendNext reads the item, weight and price from your scale labels and other variable-weight barcodes. It also tracks batches, flags short-dated goods and stops expired lots at an online till.

Yes. Supported sales can continue when connectivity is unavailable and synchronise when the connection returns.

No. Your ERP keeps the books and iVendNext runs the stores beside it. iVendNext connects to SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA, Acumatica, NetSuite and Sage X3, and your partner connects any other ERP with the iVendNext partner kit.
