Point of sale software for multi-store retail

Qdos point of sale at a retail checkout

One point of sale for traditional and charity retail

Qdos Point of Sale connects checkout, customers, loyalty, inventory and Head Office operations across multi-store retail environments, from specialty and franchise retail to large charity networks.

Qdos supports both traditional retail and charity/NFP retail, with workflows tailored to the needs of each. Charity retail is a particular Qdos strength, with volunteer-friendly workflows and support for large multi-store NFP networks.

Qdos POS is part of a wider operational platform, so sales at the register stay connected to the same stock used across stores, warehouses and ecommerce through Qdos inventory management.

POS for charity and NFP retail

Charity retail runs differently: store teams are often volunteers, stock is donated, and large networks need simple workflows with strong central control. For NFP retailers, the Qdos POS experience is built around volunteer usability, donated stock and central Head Office control, with separate loyalty types for customers, staff and volunteers.

Qdos supports more than 1,000 charity retail stores. Learn more about Qdos charity retail software.
