AbuByte POS - Offline-First Retail System
π Strategic IP Acquisition: Battle-Tested POS Codebase
The Problem Solved
Retailers in emerging markets (Nigeria, KSA, Kuwait) lose sales daily due to internet outages. Existing POS systems either stop working or lose data. AbuByte solves this with true offline-first architecture.
The Technology
- Framework: Flutter (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Web)
- Architecture: Offline-first with intelligent sync queue
- Local DB: Hive (NoSQL, faster than SQLite)
- Cloud: Firebase (when available)
- Validation: 247+ real transactions with zero data loss
Unique Value Proposition
Most POS systems add "offline mode" as an afterthought. AbuByte was built from the ground up for hostile network environments. The sync engine guarantees data integrity regardless of connectivity.
