Systems that never quite agree
A separate POS at the till, stock tracked in spreadsheets, an online store that reconciles by hand. Disconnected systems create mismatched inventory, conflicting promotions and delayed reporting.

For multi-store retail chains
Add the next twenty stores without adding chaos
Growth breaks the seams between systems long before it breaks the systems themselves. We have taken a grocery chain from 5 stores to 53 on one platform - store by store, never big-bang - with head office seeing every till, every transfer and every margin in one place.
- Store-by-store rollout - each location live and stable before the next.
- Head-office control - central catalog, pricing, promotions and procurement.
- Stock that moves between stores - transfers, indents and returns tracked.
- Owned outright - your platform scales without a per-store licence.
For IT firms, POS dealers & resellers
Resell a proven retail stack under your own brand
Sell retail technology without building it. Offer your clients a mature POS software for retail that syncs inventory and sales across all your e-commerce platforms & offline stores - your logo, your domain, your pricing - while Silex runs the engineering, the hosting and the updates behind it. The same stack already running 53 stores.
- Fully white-label - your brand on the till, the back office and the customer app.
- Multi-tenant console - onboard and manage every retail client from one login.
- The whole stack, not just the till - POS, inventory, procurement and e-commerce.
- Recurring partner margins - wholesale pricing, revenue share and co-selling support.

Questions
Retail Tech FAQ
What is point of sale software for a retail chain?
It's what runs your checkout counters. At its simplest, point of sale software rings up the sale and takes the payment. In a chain it has to do a lot more, because every sale should come off the stock figure straight away, in the store and online. Ours does that across 53 stores for one grocery client, with inventory and e-commerce on the same platform.
Owning a POS system for retail vs paying for a subscription POS - which makes sense?
A subscription is the quick start, and for a single shop it's often the right call. The sums change as you add stores, because the fees grow with every checkout counter while a platform you own doesn't. Owning also means the code and your sales data are yours. Our grocery client went from 5 stores to 53 without paying a per-store licence.
How much does a POS system for retail cost?
It depends on how many stores you run and what the POS has to connect to. A few stores on standard hardware is a much smaller job than a chain that needs e-commerce and an ERP link as well. We price it after the free assessment, once we've seen your checkout counters and your stock setup. There are no per-transaction fees afterwards.
How long does a retail rollout take?
Expect a pilot store in 8 to 12 weeks. After that we go store by store, so each one is stable before the next goes live and you're never trading blind. The full timeline depends mostly on store count and integrations.
Does it work with our existing POS hardware and ERP?
Most likely. We work with the usual terminals, scanners, weigh scales and receipt printers, so you rarely need to replace anything at the counter. On the ERP side we sync both ways with systems like SAP, Dynamics and NetSuite, and we connect to the major payment processors.
Does the POS keep working if the internet drops?
Yes. Your checkouts keep selling offline, and once the connection is back the sales and stock changes sync on their own. Nothing gets lost, which matters on a Saturday when the queue is out the door.
Can your POS software for retail handle grocery and fashion stores?
Yes, and it has to, because the two need very different things at checkout. Grocery needs weigh scales and tight control over perishable stock. Fashion needs size and colour matrices, and returns that work across channels. We configure the POS around the format rather than forcing every store into the same screen.
Can head office see every store's sales in one place?
Yes, and live rather than at the end of the day. Sales and stock from every checkout counter roll up into one head-office view, so you can spot a store running short before a customer does. That's how our 53-store grocery client runs its chain.
POS for a single retail shop vs a chain of stores - what's the difference?
A single shop mostly needs a fast checkout and takings that add up at the end of the day. Almost any decent POS does that, and a subscription is usually the sensible choice. A chain is a different problem. Stock moves between stores and the warehouse, and a price change has to reach every store on the same day. Head office also needs to see every checkout live, not in an end-of-day report. That's where a POS system built for retail chains earns its keep, because it treats the whole business as one stock pool instead of a set of separate shops. Our grocery client runs 53 stores this way.
