The features that actually matter for a retail business, and the ones that don't.

Choosing a POS is a big decision. After working with retailers across fashion, electronics, and grocery in Dhaka, we've learned what genuinely matters: fast billing (a sale should take seconds, not minutes), real-time inventory (so you stop selling out-of-stock items), useful reports (daily sales, top products, low stock), and offline mode (because load-shedding is real). The features that don't matter as much: fancy dashboards nobody opens, AI predictions on tiny data, and integrations you'll never use. A good POS gets out of your way and lets you run your shop.
