ABOUT · ISSUE Nº 01
A selling system for
every shop.
SumsPOS is built by a small team. We kept it simple, kept it fast, and kept it honest. Today, more than 1,000 shops rely on it to close every sale, online or off.
Many of us grew up around shops like yours, a hardware store, a butchery, a chemist, run by people who knew every customer and kept the accounts in a battered exercise book they never lost.
When we started building software, we kept seeing the same problem. The POS systems shops were using were slow, hard to learn, and expensive. They stopped working when the internet did. They charged per transaction on top of a monthly fee. Owners were paying for the privilege of being frustrated.
So we set out to build the opposite: a selling system that works offline, learns in ten minutes, and never charges you to ring up a sale. The first shop owner who used it told us, “It doesn't get in my way.” That became the brief. Everything we have built since is trying to earn that sentence again.
We are still small. We still read every support message. And we are still building the system we wish those shops had all along. Thank you to the first 1,000 who trusted us enough to try it.

MANIFESTO
Six things we believe.
Shopkeepers know their shops.
We don't tell business owners how to run their business. We give them tools they choose to use.
Speed is respect.
Every screen loads in under a second or we rebuild it. A customer at the till is not waiting for our software.
Offline is the default.
Connectivity isn't always reliable. SumsPOS finishes the sale either way.
Receipts are records.
Every sale, every shift, every till - kept, auditable, exportable. Your data, your business.
Built in the open.
We post our roadmap, our pricing, our outages. You should know what you're paying for.
No surprises at billing.
One price per plan. No per-transaction skim. What you see is what you pay.
HISTORY
How we got here.
- 2023
Started in a coffee shop.
Frustrated with slow, expensive POS systems that crashed during busy hours, we opened a laptop and started writing code.
- 2024
First 100 shops onboarded by hand.
We drove to each shop, set up the device, and sat with the cashier until the first sale went through. That feedback shaped everything.
- 2025 - Q1
Offline-first sales engine ships.
Sales, stock deductions, and receipts now work without an internet connection. Syncs the moment connectivity returns.
- 2025 - Q3
Multi-store and WAC inventory.
Chains and distributors can now manage every branch and track weighted average cost across the whole business.
- 2026
1,000+ shops across 10+ countries.
From corner shops to multi-branch retailers around the world, more shops are finding us on the web every day.
HOW WE WORK
The promises behind the product.
We build offline-first
Engineering
A sale must never fail because the internet did. The sync engine is built so every ring-up lands, then reconciles the moment you're back online.
We read every message
Support
Real people answer support, not a bot wall. If something breaks on a busy Saturday, we want to hear it and fix it fast.
We visit real shops
Operations
We onboard shops in person across several countries, and what we learn behind the till goes straight back into the product.
