SmartPOS 3.0 is the first version of our open source Point of Sale solution 100% web, build on top of Idempiere 2.0 framework, it is a powerful point of sale with an full ERP in the backend. From the technical standpoint, we have created SmartPOS 3.0 as an OSG plugin of Idempiere ERP, (source code available on bitbucket) optimized for pharmacies on this release. Please have in mind our first priority on this release is to offer the basic workflows of the previous SmartPOS 2.1 for pharmacies, but 100% web with transparent integration to the ERP (inventory, accounting, documents, returns and so on) with good level of quality, and creating a solid foundation with the ERP engine. We have added some extra features for usability (middle size touch screen devices are supported for common workflows) , so we can extend it use it for new markets such as: supermarkets, restaurants and so on soon. Why did we rewrite the traditional Client-MQ-ERP solution as a 100% Web solution ? 1. Middle size/large customers and end users want to have a flexible scalable POS solution, where they can minimize maintenance (remove local support, MQ complexity), operate from remote locations without local installations, and they want to take advantage of the powerful ERP features for stock, pricing and accounting management at the same time. 2. Also small/middle size users want to have “local” ERP+ POS … installed in all-in-one (NUC - Mini) hardware appliances:, powerful enough to deliver ERP, POS, database and networks services to their business location, and we can do it with SmartPOS now .. we can put ERP, POS, postgres adn so on inside a mini-servers (NUC), and deliver them to small or remote businesses to deliver powerful functionality and perhaps to replicate remote data if required.

We have not detected much interest to support that release, so we still can offer professional services for this solution, for user that demand client POS with asynchronous synchronization scenarios to their ERP, but our focus in product development and roadmap will be 100% web. (3.0 and future versions). Soon..
