StarterSell POS – Retail Sales and Inventory Management

StarterSell POS is a web-based point-of-sale and inventory management system designed for small retail shops and businesses getting started. It brings sales analytics, checkout operations, product management and stock monitoring into one interface.

Business Dashboard

View key business indicators through dashboard cards for sales and inventory. An interactive sales chart with date filtering helps track revenue trends, while top-selling product lists and low-stock alerts support everyday decisions.

Point of Sale and Sales Records

The POS interface supports product searching, stock visibility and automatic tax and total calculations. The sales module records completed transactions with invoice IDs, cashier names and payment methods.

Inventory and Supplier Management

Manage products, SKUs, barcodes, prices and categories. Track inventory movements, record stock increases and decreases, and maintain supplier contact details.

User and Role Management

The system includes user accounts and role-based permissions to help organize access for different staff members.

Modern Web Technology

StarterSell POS uses a Laravel API backend and a Next.js frontend. Its architecture is intended for browser-based use and can be deployed using compatible backend and frontend hosting.
