Retail & Point of Sale
Build a Point of Sale App with Glide
Most POS systems are built for the average business — which means they're a poor fit for yours. GlideApps Agency builds custom point-of-sale apps tailored exactly to how your business operates: your products, your pricing rules, your workflow, and your reporting needs. We've built POS solutions for 350+ businesses including Fortune 500 clients who needed something their off-the-shelf POS couldn't deliver.
GlideApps Agency builds production-ready Point of Sale 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 Point of Sale 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 Point of Sale app
Custom Product Catalog & Pricing
Configure your product catalog with variants, bundles, modifiers, and complex pricing rules — including customer-specific pricing, volume discounts, and promotional pricing that standard POS software handles poorly.
Transaction Processing & History
Process sales, voids, refunds, and exchanges with a full transaction log — searchable by date, customer, product, and cashier — giving your team the transaction history they need for customer service and reporting.
Real-Time Inventory Updates
Every sale automatically decrements your inventory in real time — with low-stock alerts, reorder triggers, and inventory value reporting that keep your buying decisions informed by actual sales data.
Sales Analytics Dashboard
Monitor daily sales, top-selling products, peak hours, cashier performance, and revenue trends from a management dashboard — giving owners and managers the data needed to make smart operational decisions.
