Everything a shop runs on

From the first sale to the last cash-up

FAB POS is the till, the stockroom and the back office in one — built for the way South African shops actually trade.

A till built for speed

Scan, type or tap. Every action has a key — F10 to pay, F1–F4 for cash, card, EFT and gift card — and big touch buttons for touch screens. Split tenders, cash back, holds and layaways included.

Stock you can trust

Every movement — a sale, a delivery, a stock take, a write-off — is recorded with who did it and why. Stock locations, goods received, purchase orders and low-stock alerts.

Cash-up and day end

Shifts with opening floats, payouts and a drawer count checked against one clear formula. The day end gathers every shift, sale and refund, so nothing is left out.

Customers and accounts

Account customers with payment terms and a debtors list that shows who is due and who is overdue. Loyalty points, stamp cards and gift cards to bring people back.

Prices your way

Promotions and specials, customer price lists, and pack sizes with their own barcodes — sell a single, a six-pack or a case. A guard stops an item going out at R0 or below cost by mistake.

Business documents

Quotations, sales orders, tax invoices, delivery notes and customer statements, printed or emailed. Receipts on 80 mm or 58 mm slips, or A4 — per document, per printer.

Weighed goods and serial numbers

Sell by the kilogram with scale barcodes and PLU codes. Track big-ticket items by serial number, and search by part or model number.

Restaurant and takeaway

Tables and waiters, menus, item modifiers and sale types such as dine-in, takeaway and delivery. Recipes that use up their ingredients from stock.

Reports that export

Sales, profit margins and stock valuation, filtered your way and exported to Excel or PDF. A dashboard with today’s takings, profit and top sellers at a glance.

Payment in one keystroke

Numbers you can rely on

Built so the figures always add up

A till is only as good as its numbers. FAB POS is designed so they can be checked, traced and trusted.

Checked twice

The server works out every total again from the lines, and refuses a sale that does not agree.

Nothing quietly deleted

Completed sales cannot be edited. Mistakes are put right with a refund or an adjustment that stays on record.

Permissions and manager PIN

Every role gets exactly what it needs. When a cashier needs a discount or a refund, a manager approves it with a PIN.

A full audit trail

Who changed what, when, and from what to what — kept separately, so the history is always there.

Questions

Good to know

What happens when the 30-day trial ends?

FAB POS reminds you during the last week. After day 30 it becomes read-only: you can still look everything up, run reports and print, but you cannot ring up new sales until your licence is in. Buy your licence here (FAB POS also links to it from the sign-in screen), then paste the activation key from your Fabtech account page under Settings → License. Nothing is deleted — every product, sale and customer you entered during the trial is still there.

Do I need the internet to sell?

No. The tills talk to the FAB POS server on your own network, so you keep ringing up sales when the internet is down. The internet is only needed to check your licence and to email documents.

Can I run more than one till?

Yes. One computer runs the FAB POS server and the other tills connect to it over your network. Each computer is licensed separately.

Can I bring in my existing products?

Yes. Fill in the Excel template — products, suppliers and customers — and FAB POS checks it and shows you what will happen before anything is saved.

Which parts of FAB POS do I pay for?

A subscription for each computer that runs FAB POS, paid monthly or yearly — and each extra computer costs less. Add only the add-ons your shop uses — the restaurant package, layaways, gift cards, stock takes and more — priced per shop, not per computer. A once-off provisioning fee is charged on your first purchase. See the prices and build your own, then sign up and buy online.

Is my data safe?

Your data stays on your own computer. FAB POS makes backups on demand and signs in every user with their own login. Keep a backup somewhere other than the shop computer, too.
