POSAIRetail platform · AI · E-commerce

One platform for the whole store.

POSAI is a retail platform for independent liquor, wine and beer stores. A sale at the register, a web order and an invoice received in the back office all update the same stock in near real time. The register keeps selling when the internet drops, and AI reads distributor invoices so staff stop typing them by hand.

POSAI overview

The story

From problem to product.

A real problem. A connected solution. A better way for every store.

  1. Step 01

    The challenge

    Independent liquor stores juggle a register, an inventory system and an online shop that never agree, lose sales when the internet drops, and spend hours typing distributor invoices by hand.

  2. Step 02

    What we built

    Four connected products on one cloud backend: an offline-first register, an AI back office that reads invoices, a branded online store for every shop, and the API that keeps them in sync.

  3. Step 03

    The result

    A sale at the register, a web order and a received invoice now update the same stock in near real time, and the register keeps selling through outages.

What makes it work.

  1. 01

    Offline-first register

    Sales, sign-in, manager approvals and shift close work offline, and every queued sale syncs exactly once when the connection returns.

  2. 02

    AI invoice scanning

    Distributor invoices as photos, PDFs or spreadsheets become stock updates, with a review step before anything is saved.

  3. 03

    Smart purchasing

    One purchase order per vendor in a click, scheduled reorders that wait for the owner's approval, and two-way vendor messaging.

  4. 04

    An online store per shop

    Each store gets its own subdomain with instant search, delivery-radius checks, Stripe payments and live order tracking.

  5. 05

    Payments and compliance

    Card readers that never lose a payment, split payments, bottle deposits added for you, and built-in age checks.

  6. 06

    Security by design

    Card data stays on the pin pad, every request is signed and replay-protected, and each store's data is isolated.

See it in action.

One platform. Every part of your inventory, connected.

POSAI IMS: inventory with stock levels, reorder alerts and quick ordering

AI across the platform.

Invoice reading

AI turns invoice photos and PDFs into structured line items.

Inventory assistant

Answers questions like “what's critically low?” and proposes bulk actions for the user to confirm.

Catalog import

Detects CSV columns from other POS systems and matches items to a 35,000-product catalog.

Distributor pricing

Matches wholesaler price files to products and shows buy-now or wait signals.

Shopping assistant

Finds products and adds them to the cart through chat on the online store.

Always confirmed

AI never changes data on its own: bulk changes need the user's confirmation.
