What Makes a Good POS for Philippine SMEs?

A good POS for a Philippine SME looks different from an international enterprise one. The environment is different — intermittent internet, staff turnover, customer credit accounts, and a need for simple receipts.

Look for offline capability. When your internet drops, the store shouldn't. A solid POS caches transactions locally and syncs when connectivity returns.

Look for credit account support. 'Utang' and 'lista' aren't going away in local retail. A POS that models this cleanly saves hours at month-end.

Finally, look for real inventory integration — not an afterthought. When a sale happens, stock should move automatically. That's how you keep numbers honest.
