poseidon.

The smart point-of-sale solution for modern omnichannel retail.

The point-of-sale solution with ERP integration.

Full control across all customer touchpoints.

poseidon is a web-based omnichannel point-of-sale solution for retail companies looking to seamlessly connect their stores, ERP systems, and digital sales channels.

The cloud-based POS system delivers real-time data, streamlined processes, and maximum flexibility for modern retail.

poseidon addresses key challenges in modern retail operations.

Fewer media breaks, more transparency in retail.

In today’s retail landscape, the POS system has long been more than just a billing tool. It connects stores, ERP systems, and digital sales channels, making it a central component of modern omnichannel processes. Outdated POS systems are increasingly reaching their limits: a lack of real-time data, poor ERP integration, and hardware-dependent architectures hinder efficient operations and prevent transparent processes.

With poseidon, you can rely on a web-based omnichannel POS solution that intelligently connects stores, ERP systems, and existing processes - for greater transparency, less manual effort, and a modern foundation for retail.

The following overview highlights some of the most common challenges and how poseidon addresses them.

If point-of-sale data isn't fed directly into the ERP system, it results in unnecessary detours, error-prone data transfers, and additional reconciliation work. Manual double-entry takes time and increases the risk of inconsistent data sets.

Thanks to its direct BC interface design, poseidon is able to transfer the relevant data without the need for intermediate solutions. 

This prevents transmission errors and eliminates the need for any conversions.

Many point-of-sale systems operate as standalone solutions. Receipts, prices, and inventory levels must be managed separately from the ERP system. This is time-consuming and leads to inconsistent data.

poseidon transfers cash register receipts directly into the ERP system. This eliminates the need for temporary storage, makes data conversion unnecessary, and prevents transmission errors.

Proprietary point-of-sale systems tie companies to specific hardware, incur high costs, and create dependencies on individual manufacturers. Malfunctioning devices or time-consuming maintenance can further complicate processes.

poseidon runs as a web-based application in common browsers and can be used flexibly on a variety of devices and operating systems. Point-of-sale hardware, card terminals, barcode scanners, and printers can be easily integrated.

Local point-of-sale systems create data silos in stores. This makes it difficult to access up-to-date information across locations and prevents the creation of a centralized, unified real-time database.

Since poseidon is a purely online point-of-sale system, local installations are unnecessary and do not occur. As a result, all data is stored centrally and is accessible in real time by all branches.

In the fast-paced retail environment, up-to-date sales and inventory data are crucial for planning, inventory management, and operational decisions. If data is synchronized with a delay, the transparency needed for efficient processes and quick responses is often lacking.

Poseidon provides data quickly and centrally in the ERP system and to all stores in real time. This ensures that all employees have access to the same information at all times—regardless of whether they are working online or in-store.
