LADS Africa

Background

The system uses all-in-one smart POS devices. These devices can work offline but they automatically synchronise with the cloud once they detect internet connectivity The system is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform which means our clients do not need a server to run the system because the database and services are hosted on the cloud. The system has a powerful web portal for analytics and reporting. This portal is accessible from anywhere in the world through a mobile phone or computer; which means that management can see the revenue inflows in real-time. Only those with access rights are given access to the portal. Setting up the system does not take one day. The system is integratable with LADS, such that payments will automatically hit the General Ledger once the synchronisation is complete. It can also be integrated with other accounting systems such as Sage Pastel, ProMun and SAP
