Detailed module guide

Every part of SpazaPOS, explained clearly.

See what each part of the system does, who uses it, and how it helps the business run with more speed, control, and visibility.

LIVE Desktop

POS / Till

A fast checkout screen for daily selling, payments, returns, lay-bys, account payments, and a stronger front-counter experience.

Who uses it

Cashiers and till operators

Runs on

Desktop

  • Shows the live basket clearly while the cashier is working, including totals, discounts, VAT, payment, and change.
  • Supports held sales, returns, price checks, receipt lookup, and loading ready orders into the till when needed.
  • Handles cash and card sales, cash in and cash out, expenses, lay-bys, and account payments in one selling screen.
  • Can also drive a customer-facing display so shoppers can follow the sale as it happens.
LIVE Desktop

Back Office

The management side of SpazaPOS for controlling products, stock, pricing, receiving, staff access, and reporting.

Who uses it

Owners, managers, and office/admin staff

Runs on

Desktop

  • Use it to manage products, suppliers, stock, promotions, receiving, store settings, staff permissions, and business reports.
  • Back Office and POS can be installed separately, so each till does not need the full management setup on it.
  • This keeps management work in the right place while the till stays focused on serving customers.
  • It also gives owners and managers a direct path into licensing and renewal tasks when needed.
LIVE Browser + Desktop handoff

Web Orders

Capture customer orders in the browser, then move them into the till workflow when they are ready for payment or completion.

Who uses it

Counter staff, order capturers, and managers

Runs on

Browser + Desktop handoff

  • Staff can capture customer details, notes, and products without tying up the main till.
  • Once the order is prepared, it can move into the POS flow for payment or final processing.
  • This helps stores handle orders more cleanly from capture through to collection.
LIVE Browser

Packing / Kitchen-Style Board

A dedicated screen for preparing orders, tracking progress, and showing what is ready for collection.

Who uses it

Packers, kitchen staff, and collection staff

Runs on

Browser

  • Preparation staff can work from their own screen instead of relying on the cashier to manage every step.
  • The till can still see status updates when front-of-house staff need to check whether something is ready.
  • This suits takeaway, prepared-food, and collection workflows where speed and visibility matter.
  • Till-paid sales can also move into this workflow when the business wants better collection tracking.
LIVE Desktop + Browser

Stock Take

Count stock from Back Office or in the browser so the business can keep stock levels closer to reality.

Who uses it

Managers and counting staff

Runs on

Desktop + Browser

  • The system supports proper stock counting instead of leaving stock checks to guesswork.
  • Teams can count from Back Office or use the browser tools when that suits the store better.
  • This helps businesses tighten stock accuracy without turning the till into a stockroom terminal.
LIVE Desktop + Browser variant

Customer Display

A customer-facing screen that shows the sale clearly while the cashier is working.

Who uses it

Shoppers at the counter

Runs on

Desktop + Browser variant

  • Customers can see items, totals, and payment progress as the sale is captured.
  • A browser-based display option is also available for stores that want that setup.
  • This helps the checkout feel more transparent and professional.
LIVE Desktop with display impact

Promotions / Specials

Set up specials and promotions more professionally instead of handling them manually at the till.

Who uses it

Managers and pricing staff

Runs on

Desktop with display impact

  • Support exists for percentage discounts, fixed-price specials, multi-buy offers, and similar promotional rules.
  • Managers can control which items are affected and when the offer should run.
  • This helps stores run specials with more consistency and less cashier confusion.
LIVE Desktop + Browser portal

Licensing / Renewals

Handle trials, licensing, and renewals through the hosted SpazaPOS portal using the current per-till model.

Who uses it

Owners, managers, and licensing/admin staff

Runs on

Desktop + Browser portal

  • Base setup includes 1 Back Office plus the first till, with extra tills added as the business grows.
  • Larger till counts can qualify for lower per-till daily rate bands.
  • Renewals follow the current manual-payment path through the hosted portal.
  • A 7-day trial is available for first-time evaluation.
LIVE Browser

Manager Dashboard

A browser dashboard that gives owners and managers a clearer view of what is happening in the business.

Who uses it

Managers and owners

Runs on

Browser

  • See key sales, order, shift, low-stock, and receiving information in one place.
  • This gives managers quicker visibility without needing to work through several different screens first.
  • It is useful for owners who want tighter day-to-day oversight of store performance.
LIVE Browser + Desktop service

SMS Notifications

Use SMS integration for web-order reference messages and scheduled day-end summaries where the business wants quick updates outside the store screen.

Who uses it

Managers, order-capturing staff, and store owners

Runs on

Browser + Desktop service

  • Web Orders can send an order-reference SMS to the customer after the order is captured when the store has SMS configured.
  • Back Office includes WinSMS settings and a scheduled day-end SMS service for summary messages.
  • This helps stores confirm important order details and keep managers informed without relying only on phone calls or paper notes.
