Grocery store POS app: quick billing, loose items and expiry dates

Packed goods with barcodes, loose rice and dal by the kilo, milk that expires on Friday. MCPOS Cloud bills all of it quickly and tells you what to reorder.

Quick answer

MCPOS Cloud is a grocery store POS app that bills packed goods by barcode and loose items by kg, gram or litre, tracks batches and expiry dates, and sells in cartons or pieces at different prices. Buy from suppliers, sell on credit to regular customers, and see every sale in your accounts. It runs on Android, iPhone, Windows and macOS, and bills offline. See everything in MCPOS Cloud.

What a grocery store needs from a POS — and how MCPOS does it

Quick barcode billing

Scan packed goods; type a quantity for loose items. A quantity pop-up keeps the line right.

Loose items

Sell by kilogram, gram, litre or millilitre with decimal quantities — 1.25 kg of rice is fine.

Batches and expiry

Record the batch and expiry on each delivery and see what expires soon, so less goes in the bin.

Carton and piece

Buy by the carton, sell by the piece — each unit with its own price and barcode.

Credit for regulars

Sell on credit to regular customers and see who owes what, with part payments.

Reorder on time

Low-stock alerts and purchase orders to suppliers, so the shelf is never empty.

One business, every device: the counter, the owner's phone and the back-office computer share the same data — Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS and the web. See all MCPOS Cloud features.
