Who builds it
Built in Colombo, for shops we can drive to.
UDS POS is made by Ultimate Digital Solutions. We are a small software company in Sri Lanka, and this is our own product — not a foreign system with the currency changed.
Why it exists
We started from the other end.
Most point-of-sale software sold here was written for somewhere else. It assumes every product has a barcode, that nobody buys on credit, that a receipt is always in English, and that the internet never falters. Then a shop in Kurunegala buys it and spends two years working around all four assumptions.
Batch tracking because milk and medicine expire and a shopkeeper eats the loss. Credit limits because the garage down the road pays at the end of the month and everybody knows it. Sinhala on the bill because a customer should be able to read what they bought. Item codes as well as barcodes, because half the stock in a spare-parts shop has never seen a barcode in its life.
The arithmetic is the part we are strictest about. Every rupee figure in the system is calculated the same way in the same place, and the till checks its own total against the server before the receipt prints. A shopkeeper who finds a bill that does not add up will never trust the system again, and they would be right not to.
Where we are
Where we stop
Three things we will not do.
Every software company has a list like this. Most of them do not print it.
- Sell you a package you do not need.
- If one branch and five people is enough, that is what we will set up.
- Hold your data hostage.
- It is your shop's data. If you leave, you take it with you.
- Pretend it does everything.
- It is not accounting software and it is not a payroll system. We will tell you where it stops.
Come and see it
Half an hour, your own stock, and an honest answer.
We will tell you whether it suits your shop, including when it does not.
