Commercia: one point-of-sale system for till, stock and end-of-day.
A web app for point of sale, built with Odoo. It replaces the disconnected till, stock book and end-of-day spreadsheet with one system the whole shop runs on.
The challenge.
- Independent retailers were ringing up sales on disconnected tills, with stock counts and daily takings reconciled by hand.
- Staff needed to take a payment, update inventory and print a receipt in seconds at a busy counter.
- Owners wanted live visibility of sales and stock without exporting spreadsheets at close.
- Reporting had to answer the owner's daily questions — takings, best sellers, low stock — without an analyst.
Our approach.
- Built the till interface with Odoo for fast, touch-friendly sales entry.
- Backed it with a REST API so every sale, refund and stock movement is recorded against one catalogue.
- Wired payment capture and receipting into the checkout flow.
- Gave owners a sales-and-stock view that updates as transactions land.
- Structured daily and periodic reporting around the questions owners actually ask at close.
The outcome.
- Staff ring up sales and take payment from one screen instead of separate tills and notebooks.
- Stock decrements automatically as items sell, so counts stay honest.
- Owners see the day's takings and low-stock lines without touching a spreadsheet.
- The owner answers takings, best-seller and stock questions from the dashboard at close.

Still wondering something? Ask an engineer
Every sale, refund and stock movement is recorded against one catalogue, so inventory updates as staff complete transactions through the point-of-sale interface.
Owners can view live takings, best-selling products and low-stock lines from the same system, removing the end-of-day process of reconciling tills, stock books and spreadsheets.
