Inventory & POS software, answered directly
What is inventory & POS software?
Inventory & POS software from ANTLR Tech is one stock figure everyone trusts — the shop floor, the warehouse and the back office looking at the same number, updated as things are sold, moved and received. It is built for your operation rather than configured from a product, so the screens follow the way your team already works. Typically 15–300 staff across two to forty locations. You can sell the same unit twice because two systems hold two versions of the truth.
How much does inventory & POS software cost?
It depends on scope, integrations and how many locations you run — so we don't publish a number that would be wrong for most people. What we do commit to is the shape: a short paid discovery, then a fixed price for a defined first release that you approve before any production code is written. No open-ended billing, and no surprise at the end.
How long does it take to build?
A first working release lands in 8–14 weeks from kickoff. We run two-week cycles with a demo at the end of each, so your team is using part of the system while the rest is still being built — rather than waiting for a single reveal at the end.
Who is inventory & POS software for?
Wholesale, retail, distribution and multi-branch trade counters. Typically 15–300 staff across two to forty locations. You can sell the same unit twice because two systems hold two versions of the truth. If an off-the-shelf product already fits without workarounds, we will say so — custom software only pays when the process is specific enough that rented tools fight you.

Questions buyers ask about inventory & POS software
Can we keep our existing till hardware?
Usually yes. We build against standard barcode scanners, receipt printers and card terminals rather than a proprietary till, so the hardware already on your counter generally stays where it is. We confirm the specific models during discovery before anything is committed.
Will it work if the internet drops?
The till keeps selling. Sales are held locally and reconcile in order once the connection returns, so nothing is lost and nothing is counted twice. A branch losing its line for an afternoon is an inconvenience rather than a reason to stop trading.
How do we move without closing for a stocktake?
You don't close. We run the new system alongside the old one and count branch by branch, comparing the two sets of numbers until they agree. Only then does that branch cut over, which means the migration happens during trading rather than over a lost weekend.
Can it handle contract pricing?
Yes. Trade tiers, customer-specific rates and volume breaks are applied automatically at the till and on account sales, so counter staff aren't checking a printed sheet mid-transaction. The rules live in one place, which is also what stops them drifting between branches.
Who owns the software?
You do. The repository, the hosting accounts and the data are yours from day one, documented at handover so another team could pick the work up. There is no seat licence and no fee that exists only to keep you with us.
Do we need a written specification before starting inventory & POS software?
No. Most clients arrive with a problem rather than a spec. Deciding what to build first — and what to leave alone — is the work of the discovery stage, and you keep the process map that comes out of it either way.
