Retail management software you own, built for Philippine multi-branch operators.

Competitor figures are typical Philippine proposal bands shared with Orkids by clients, 2024–2026. Per-engagement pricing varies by scope.

We replace. We build. We optimize.

Every line of code we write is yours at cutover. No license. No annual increase. No lock-in.

How much does retail management software cost in the Philippines?

Subscription platforms run ₱1,500–7,500/month plus transaction fees per branch. An Orkids build is a single one-time cost for the whole network — typically a fraction of a five-year subscription, with no per-location fee and the code yours on cutover.

At ten branches, a five-year subscription typically exceeds the one-time build cost on its own — before factoring in the transaction fees on every sale. Optional ops support is ₱50K–250K/month with no lock-in. Your exact scope is confirmed on the first call.

Does a retail system in the Philippines need BIR CAS registration?

Yes. Any computerized accounting system generating official receipts in the Philippines requires BIR CAS registration and a Certificate of Accreditation. We produce the technical documentation BIR requires; you file the application.

The sales journal, OR-series management, X-reading, Z-reading, and audit trail a BIR examiner asks for are generated automatically by the system. BIR EIS e-invoicing under RR 11-2025 is included for taxpayers in scope of the electronic invoicing mandate.

Can it sync inventory across multiple branches in real time?

Yes. One inventory ledger covers all branches — stock movements post the moment a sale, transfer, or goods receipt is recorded, not in a nightly batch that runs while the branches are closed.

A new branch is a configuration entry, not a code change. Reorder suggestions per SKU per branch are calculated from your own sales velocity, so branch managers stop over-ordering and stockouts drop to near zero. Cycle-count variance reports are generated per shift if needed.

Does it handle senior citizen and PWD discounts correctly?

Yes. The cashier enters the SC or PWD ID, the 20% discount applies before VAT is computed, and the monthly BIR reimbursement summary is generated without manual work from the accounting team.

Compliant with RA 9994 (expanded senior citizens) and RA 10754 (PWD discount). The deduction-claim summary is produced by the system in the format BIR requires for reimbursement — your bookkeeper does not rebuild it from printed receipt stubs.

What POS hardware does the system run on?

Any x86 terminal with a modern browser, including common Philippine-market POS hardware. The system does not require proprietary peripherals — receipt printers, barcode scanners, and cash drawers connect over standard USB and serial protocols.

Offline-capable: the POS continues recording sales during internet outages and syncs automatically when connectivity restores. Branch cashiers never see a service interruption. The offline journal is auditable and BIR-compliant.

Does it connect to Lazada and Shopee?

Yes. Orders from Lazada and Shopee sync into the same inventory ledger as in-store sales — so available stock is accurate across every channel from a single source, and overselling during a marketplace flash sale stops.

This multichannel inventory sync is what prevents the stockout-after-promotion cycle that plagues retailers running separate POS and marketplace tools. The ecommerce module (/build/ecom) extends this to a custom branded online storefront if the business wants to own the customer relationship on its own domain.

Can purchasing and supplier management run in the same system?

Yes. Purchase orders, supplier price lists, landed-cost tracking, and goods-received notes feed the same inventory ledger as POS — no separate procurement tool, no manual reconciliation between systems.

Reorder alerts trigger when branch stock falls below a configurable threshold. The system generates a draft purchase order to the ranked supplier for the store manager to approve — the inventory analyst is not building POs from a spreadsheet every Monday morning.

What happens to our data and code after the build is complete?

The source code and all your data are yours on day one of cutover. No vendor lock-in, no subscription to cancel, no migration to plan if you decide to run the system on your own infrastructure.

If you hire your own engineering team later, we hand over the complete codebase with documentation in whatever form the team needs. Ongoing ops support is available at ₱50K–250K/month but is not required — the contract is structured this way intentionally so the asset stays with you regardless of your support decision.
