POS SYSTEMS · PHILIPPINES
A point-of-sale system you own, BIR-ready from day one.
A point-of-sale you own across every branch — typically 30–50% of what a five-year Lightspeed or Storehub subscription costs, with BIR-accredited CAS and EIS e-invoicing built in.
Lightspeed and Storehub bill you per terminal, per month, forever — and the sales data that should drive your reorder math stays locked in their cloud, not yours.
What this costs you today
Per-terminal fees scale with every branch you open.
Lightspeed and Storehub bill per terminal per month. At a dozen branches the subscription alone clears six figures a year before a single report leaves the vendor dashboard.
BIR EIS e-invoicing has no path on a closed POS.
RR 11-2025 mandates structured e-invoice transmission to the BIR EIS. Utak POS and most cloud registers were not built to transmit it, so the bridge becomes a separate integration quote.
Your sales data lives in the vendor's cloud, not yours.
Traditional cash-register systems and Vend export a CSV at best. Margin, branch P&L, and reorder math get rebuilt by hand in Excel every month.
WHO YOU’RE QUOTING TODAY
The incumbents — and what they quote.

A multi-branch retailer owns its point-of-sale outright for a single one-time cost — typically 30–50% of what a five-year Lightspeed or Storehub subscription costs across the same branches, with BIR CAS registration and EIS transmission built in, not quoted as a bridge.
BY THE NUMBERS

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU

Questions buyers ask.
Subscription POS runs ₱2K–6K per terminal per month. An Orkids build is a single one-time cost for a POS you own across every branch — no per-terminal fee, and the code is yours.
At a dozen terminals, a five-year subscription clears the one-time build cost on its own. Your exact scope is confirmed on the first call; optional ops support is ₱50K–250K/month with no lock-in.
Yes. Any POS issuing official receipts needs BIR accreditation (CA) and a permit to use (PTU). We generate the technical documentation BIR requires; you file it.
The sales journal, OR-series management, and audit trail a BIR examiner asks for are produced by the system. You submit the application; the system supplies the paperwork.
Yes. The POS transmits structured invoice data to the BIR EIS under RR 11-2025 within the required window — built in, not a separate integration project.
The same compliance posture runs a top-ranked Philippine private hospital's billing and official receipts in production today. Large taxpayers face a 31 December 2026 deadline.
Yes. The cashier enters the SC or PWD ID, the 20% discount applies before VAT, and the monthly BIR reimbursement summary is generated automatically.
The deduction-claim summary is produced by the reporting module in the BIR-required format — your bookkeeper does not rebuild it from printed receipts. Compliant with RA 9994 and RA 10754.
Yes. One inventory truth across branches, real-time cycle counts, and branch-level reporting in one system — owners see every store from one view.
A new branch is a configuration, not a rebuild. Reorder suggestions per SKU per branch are trained on your own sales history, so stockouts and dead stock both fall.
