Point of sale
Building a counter that closes the day
Terminals, barcode scanning and labels, thermal printers and billing software, priced part by part. Everything is set up on your own stock rather than a demo file, and the software bills locally so a cut connection never stops trade.
POS Terminal Setup
POS terminal setup builds the counter: touch terminal or desktop, cash drawer, customer display and the software that ties them together. A complete single counter in Islamabad runs PKR 90,000 to 160,000 installed, and it is set up on your own stock rather than a demo database.
- From
- PKR 90,000
- Time
- A single counter is one day including stock loading; a mart with four tills takes two to three
Barcode Scanning & Labels
Barcode setup covers the scanner at the till and a label printer for the stock that arrives without a code — which in a Pakistani mart is most of the loose and local lines. A scanner and label printer with the first stock count supported runs PKR 30,000 to 65,000.
- From
- PKR 30,000
- Time
- Hardware setup is a half-day; the first stock count depends on your range and usually takes several evenings
Thermal Receipt Printers
The receipt printer is the hardest-working box on a counter and the one to economise on last. An 80mm thermal printer with auto-cut, wired to the till and the cash drawer, runs PKR 14,000 to 28,000 fitted — and the auto-cutter is what separates the two ends of that range.
- From
- PKR 14,000
- Time
- A half-day including the drawer wiring and template
Billing & Inventory Software
Billing and inventory software is what turns a till into a record: it prices the sale, moves the stock, and closes the day with a figure you can check. Setup with your own catalogue loaded and staff trained runs PKR 35,000 to 90,000, and it bills locally so an internet cut never stops trade.
- From
- PKR 35,000
- Time
- One day for setup and training, plus a few evenings of support through the first stock cycle
