One System Behind Every Till, Branch and Channel

Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds retail and point-of-sale systems for the UAE market. From a single-store cloud POS to a multi-branch omnichannel platform with loyalty and analytics, we replace per-terminal subscriptions and disconnected stock spreadsheets with one system your cashiers, buyers and finance team own outright — including the source code and every row of your sales data.

For UAE Shops & Chains

Custom POS Software

Your point of sale is the busiest screen in the business — it has to be fast, forgiving and never go down. We build cloud POS software that keeps selling offline, handles the promotions your marketing team actually runs, and prints a compliant UAE VAT invoice in Arabic and English on every sale.

Cloud Point of Sale

Fast touch or scan checkout on tablet and desktop, with split payments, holds, exchanges and refunds.

Offline Mode

Keep selling through an internet outage — transactions queue locally and sync the moment you reconnect.

VAT Tax Invoices

5% UAE VAT-compliant receipts printed or emailed, bilingual in Arabic and English.

Promotions & Discounts

Bundles, BOGO, happy-hour pricing, coupon codes and per-branch price lists with manager approval rules.

Cashier & Shift Control

User roles, shift open/close, cash counting, void audit trails and per-cashier performance.

Payments & Terminals

Card terminals, Tabby and Tamara instalments, Apple Pay and payment links integrated at the till.

Stock, Buying & Margin

Retail Inventory Management

Retail inventory management software is where margin is protected. We build one live stock pool across branches and warehouse, scan-based counting that ends weekend stock takes, and purchasing with landed cost — so what the system says you have is what is actually on the shelf.

Multi-Store Inventory

One live stock pool across every branch and warehouse, with transfers, adjustments and reorder points.

Barcode & Stock Counts

Scan-based receiving, cycle counting and full stock takes that reconcile in minutes, not weekends.

Purchasing & Suppliers

Purchase orders, landed cost, supplier price lists and GRN matching so margins stay accurate.

Variants & Matrix Items

Size, colour and style matrices for fashion, plus batch, serial and expiry tracking for grocery and pharma.

Stock Analytics

Fast and dead stock, sell-through, shrinkage and replenishment suggestions per branch.

Franchise & Branch Control

Central catalogue and pricing with per-franchise permissions, royalties and consolidated reporting.

Store + Online, One Stock Pool

Omnichannel Retail Software

Shoppers do not think in channels. We connect your branches, warehouse, online store and marketplaces to a single catalogue and stock pool, then switch on click-and-collect, ship-from-store, endless aisle and unified returns — so a sale is never lost because the stock sat in the wrong place.

Online Store Sync

Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or a custom storefront sharing one stock pool and one product catalogue.

Click & Collect

Buy online, pick up in store — with branch stock checks, pick lists and collection notifications.

Ship From Store

Fulfil online orders from the nearest branch to cut delivery time and clear slow-moving stock.

Marketplace Channels

Noon and Amazon.ae listings and orders kept in sync so you never oversell a marketplace SKU.

Unified Returns

Return an online order in any branch, with one refund and one stock movement — no manual reconciliation.

Endless Aisle

Sell out-of-stock lines from the shop floor by ordering from another branch or the warehouse at checkout.

Repeat Customers & Data

Loyalty, CRM & Retail Analytics

Winning a new customer costs far more than bringing one back. We build loyalty programs, branded shopper apps and campaign tools on top of a unified customer profile, with analytics that show which branches, categories, hours and staff actually drive the numbers.

Loyalty & Points

Tiers, points, vouchers and member-only pricing that lift repeat visits and average basket size.

Branded Shopper App

Your own app with digital loyalty card, offers, order history and push campaigns.

Customer CRM

Unified purchase history and preferences across store and online for real personalisation.

Retail Analytics

Sales by hour, staff, branch and category, plus basket analysis and cohort retention dashboards.

WhatsApp & SMS Campaigns

Segmented offers, receipt delivery and win-back messages in Arabic or English.

Gift Cards & Credit

Store credit, gift cards and corporate accounts redeemable across every branch and channel.

Built for the UAE

VAT-Compliant, Bilingual & Locally Integrated

Imported retail platforms rarely fit UAE trading. We build for local reality — FTA-compliant VAT invoicing, Arabic and English tills and receipts, instalment payments UAE shoppers expect, and integrations with the accounting systems your finance team already runs.

FTA VAT Compliance

5% VAT tax invoices, credit notes and the audit-file reporting UAE retailers are required to produce.

Arabic & English (RTL)

Bilingual till, receipts, labels and shopper app with proper right-to-left Arabic support.

Local Payments

Network International, PayTabs, Telr, Tabby, Tamara and Apple Pay ready at the counter and online.

FAQ

Common Questions

A custom cloud POS with inventory starts from around AED 40,000. A multi-store retail platform with omnichannel stock, loyalty and analytics typically runs AED 90,000–180,000, and an enterprise retail suite with franchise and ERP integration AED 180,000–300,000+. We send a fixed, itemised quote within 24 hours.

Off-the-shelf POS works until your business does something specific — bundled promotions, tailoring or service add-ons, franchise royalties, per-branch pricing or an unusual loyalty model. A custom POS removes per-terminal subscriptions, fits your exact workflow, and gives you the source code and your own sales data.

Yes — that is the core of an omnichannel build. We sync a single stock pool across branches, warehouse and your Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento store, and enable click-and-collect, ship-from-store, endless-aisle ordering and unified returns across every channel.

It does. The POS keeps selling during an internet drop and syncs automatically when the connection returns. Every receipt is a 5% UAE VAT-compliant tax invoice, with bilingual Arabic and English printing and the reporting your accountant and the FTA expect.

We work with standard retail hardware — barcode scanners, thermal receipt printers, cash drawers, label printers, weighing scales and Android or iOS tablets — plus UAE payment terminals and gateways including Network International, PayTabs, Telr, Tabby, Tamara and Apple Pay.

A single-store POS launches in roughly 6–8 weeks; a multi-store omnichannel platform takes 3–5 months depending on integrations. You receive 100% source-code ownership and the Git repository on completion — no lock-in, ever.
