POS software for shops and supermarkets in Jordan

Jordanian retail is built around neighbourhood shops and a growing number of supermarket chains. In Amman, the historic Downtown area, known locally as Balad, has traditional markets for textiles, household goods and gold. Sweifieh, Abdoun and Shmeisani host modern supermarkets, pharmacies and boutiques. In Irbid, in the north, the commercial centre is around downtown and University Street, where students and families shop every day.

Many grocers run a small khata, a ledger of regular customers who pay at the end of the month. Wholesale markets feed the small shops, so supplier invoices, purchase returns and reorder lists come up every week. Shoppers pay in cash and by card, and transfers through apps such as CliQ, the national instant payment system, are increasing.

Owners want to know which products are low before the next delivery, which customers owe money, and what each cashier sold during a shift. Power and internet interruptions still happen in some areas, so the counter needs to keep working without a live connection. A server PC on the shop network, with terminals at each counter, handles that.
