Retail & Point of Sale
Build a Mobile POS App with Glide
Your sales shouldn't be limited to where your fixed POS terminal is located. GlideApps Agency builds mobile POS apps that let your staff sell from anywhere — the sales floor, trade shows, pop-up events, curbside, or the stockroom — with the same product catalog, customer data, and sales tracking as your main register. We've built mobile POS solutions for retailers, events businesses, and service companies who need flexibility.
GlideApps Agency builds production-ready Mobile POS apps for enterprises and growth-stage companies — 350+ Glide apps delivered since 2019, with deep expertise in retail & point of sale. Projects start at $15,000 with typical delivery in 4–8 weeks.
What does building a Mobile POS app include?
Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.
Discovery & Architecture
Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.
UI/UX Design
Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.
Development & QA
Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.
Launch & Support
User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.
Key features of your Mobile POS app
Phone & Tablet Optimized Interface
The app is designed for fast, intuitive use on mobile devices — large touch targets, quick search, and streamlined checkout flows that let staff process transactions without being tied to a fixed register location.
Product Search & Quick Add
Search products by name, SKU, or category and add them to transactions with a tap — with variant selection, quantity adjustment, and discount application all handled smoothly on the mobile interface.
Customer Lookup & Add
Look up existing customers by phone or name, link transactions to customer records, and add new customers at point of sale — keeping your customer database current without requiring back-office data entry.
Digital Receipts
Generate and send digital receipts by email or SMS directly from the mobile POS — reducing paper waste, improving customer experience, and creating a searchable receipt history for customer service.
