Retail POS solutions
A good retail POS does more than ring up sales. It keeps your product range organised, tells you what's selling and helps you avoid running out. Tillio helps retailers choose and configure a system that suits their stores.
Who it's for
Every business is different, but the same fundamentals apply: fast, accurate transactions, organised products and clear reporting.
Workflows
Scan, sell and take payment quickly, with returns, exchanges and discounts handled consistently.
Products, variants, barcodes and stock levels kept accurate, with supplier records and purchase orders where supported.
Customer records, loyalty and gift cards that help bring shoppers back.
Sales by product, category, staff member and location, so you can see what's working.
Capabilities
These are common capabilities of modern cloud POS platforms. We'll help you find a system that supports the ones you need, then configure them properly.

Features and integrations vary between POS providers, plans and hardware. We confirm what your chosen platform supports before you commit, and we'll tell you if something isn't possible.
Use cases
A good POS setup reflects your service style. Here's what we focus on for different types of business.
Owner-operated stores need a POS that is simple to run day to day, without paying for enterprise features they'll never use.
Clothing and lifestyle retailers manage a lot of variants and seasonal ranges. The POS needs to keep sizes and colours under control.
Specialty stores often carry wide, unusual ranges from many suppliers, and trade heavily around holidays and events.
Opening a second or third store changes what you need from a POS: central product management, stock by location and combined reporting.
