It may sound a little odd, but most retailers that sell both online and off, maintain separate stock control systems and often have to resort to updating their online stock levels manually.
Belfast-based startup AirPOS aims to fix that.
AirPOS is stock control and ePOS software that connects bricks and mortar and online sales channels, allowing retailers “to sell from a single stock across unlimited points of sale”. The software integrates with most existing POS hardware and comes with a genuinely disruptive price tag at around 10% of existing POS software.
Delivery in the cloud also allows AirPOS to be used anywhere an internet connection is available (suggesting a whole host of mobile uses), unique scalability, real-time stock updates and immediate software upgrades (which are free for life).
“With AirPOS we intend to accelerate the technology revolution in sale systems – particularly mobile commerce – and to break and disrupt traditional business models,” … “We’re taking our leads from the truly innovative companies of the web like PayPal and Salesforce.com, thinking about viral coefficients, zero-touch distribution and freemium models.”
As you’d probably guess, AirPOS has already attracted private investment and is being looked at with interest by giants like PayPal and Adobe (the whole thing is built on Adobe Air). As early investor (and former VP and SVP at AOL, Inc. and Cisco Systems) David Kirk put it: “It feels like being in on the ground floor of an eBay or Amazon.”
