Where Flowyana differs
What changes if you choose Flowyana.
Every sale reaches the books
A POS sale posts its own double-entry voucher with GST or VAT split, so the accounts are current without a separate accounting app.
Back office included
Invoicing, purchasing, supplier bills, payroll, and CRM sit on the same records as the till.
Branches with their own staff and stock
Each branch keeps its own cash sessions and stock, and staff see only their branch.
Built for India and the Gulf
GST and VAT are configurable, and documents can be printed bilingual in Arabic and English.
Being fair
When Loyverse POS is the better choice.
- You want a free core. Loyverse states its core POS is free, with optional paid add-ons; Flowyana sells paid plans.
- You sell from a phone or tablet. Loyverse runs on iOS and Android devices.
- You need a built-in points loyalty programme and a free customer display.
- You are one small shop or café that needs a till with essential stock and no accounts, staff, or invoices.
If that sounds like you, we would rather say so now than after a demo. If it does not, book one and judge for yourself.
