Posnic doesn't hold features hostage. The open-source app is complete, the cloud adds sync, backups and remote access on top.
Keyboard-first sales screen, barcode scanning, held bills, quotations, credit sales and returns, built for rush hour.

The sales screen is fully touch-friendly: big targets, tap-to-bill and on-screen workflows for touch monitors, tablets and phones.
Currency and formatting per branch; the interface supports multiple languages.
Every sale, receiving and correction writes a stock movement, so quantities always add up, with a full audit trail behind each number.

Variants, barcodes (scan or generate), categories, units, from loose groceries by weight to serialized electronics.
Supplier management, purchase receiving with cost tracking, and purchase returns.

Import items in bulk; export any report or table as CSV in a standard format.
Table map, running orders, and merging/splitting, for cafes, restaurants and bakeries.
Kitchen order tickets route to kitchen printers automatically as orders land.
Run restaurant and retail side by side, a cafe with a bakery counter is one Posnic, not two systems.
From a single shop to a chain, each branch with its own registers, pricing and settings, consolidated in cloud reports.
Per-user permissions across every module, and per-branch access, a cashier sees their counter, a manager sees their branches, you see everything.
With Posnic Cloud, a branch machine holds only its branch's data, enforced server-side, so machines never carry data they shouldn't.
Extra counters, tablets and phones connect through the shop's Wi-Fi to the main machine, no extra licences, no per-device fees.
Activity logs across sales, edits and settings: who did what, when.
Cloud subscribers get remote diagnostics and priority support without anyone visiting the shop.
Daily/weekly/monthly/yearly views, payment-mode breakdowns, top items and top performers, purchase and return reports.
Register session reports with opening/closing balance and denominations.
Direct database access locally; CSV export everywhere; cloud data exportable any day. No lock-in: the sync protocol is public.
Thermal printers, barcode scanners, weighing scales and cash drawers, managed from the built-in Hardware Manager.
The local edition needs no internet, ever, and makes zero external calls. Cloud sync queues offline and catches up automatically.
Automatic daily local backups out of the box; managed cloud backups with a subscription.
Light/dark and custom color themes, per shop taste.
The desktop app updates itself from official releases, with an automatic backup before every update.
