For bike shops
A point of sale built for bike shops
A bike shop sells three very different things at the same counter: complete bikes worth a great deal, small components in enormous variety, and the hours of labour that go with them. All three go on the same ticket.
Variants
Frame sizes and colours
The same model in three frame sizes and two colours is one product with six variants, each with its own barcode and its own stock. Your catalogue stays readable.
Customers
Every repair against the customer
You know which bike each customer rides, what you fitted last time and when it was serviced. When they come back, you’re not starting from nothing.
It also means an invoice comes out with their details already on it.
Charging for the work
Two hours, a cable and a set of pads
A repair is never only parts. Put the parts on the ticket from stock and add the labour as its own line, priced how you price it, so the customer sees what they are paying for instead of one number with no explanation.
Anything that does not exist as a product — a one-off adjustment, a part you got in specially — goes on as a line of its own with the description you type.
Sizes and colours
A medium in red is not a large in black
The same model in four sizes and three colours is twelve different things to your stock, and only one of them is the one the customer wants. Each has its own count, so the screen tells you whether you have that exact bike or whether it needs ordering.
The same applies down to a set of tyres: a 700×25 and a 700×32 are not interchangeable, and the POS does not pretend they are.
The small stuff
The cable that costs three euros and loses you a day
Nobody minds waiting for a wheel build. Waiting three days for a gear cable is another matter. Set the level at which each small line needs reordering and the POS tells you what is running down before a bike is sitting in the workshop waiting for it.
You can count the parts drawers with your phone, a shelf at a time, without shutting the shop for a day to do it.
Spring and winter
You sell bikes in May and repairs in November
A bike shop has two businesses in one, and they peak at opposite ends of the year. Look at what came from selling and what came from labour, month by month, and you can see which one is actually paying the rent.
That is usually what tells you how much stock to have on the floor in February, rather than ordering the same as last year and hoping.
Touchscreen
Sell by tapping the screen
The interface is built to add products in as few taps as possible, whether you use a touchscreen, a mouse or a scanner.
Online shop
An online shop built in
The POS comes with an online shop sharing the same catalogue and the same stock, so a component sold over the counter comes off the website automatically.
Stockroom
Thousands of small components
Cables, chains, brake pads and inner tubes run to thousands of lines. The search finds any of them as you type, and a minimum on each one tells you when to reorder.
Getting started
Up and running in 5 minutes
Watch the video and you’ll have the POS running in five minutes flat.

Everything it does
More of what the POS does
Every feature we’ve built is there to make your shop more productive.
Give your staff different permissions
If you’d rather your staff didn’t get into certain parts of the POS, you can stop them. Keep the dashboard — with everything about the shop and the stock — for managers and owners only.
Bring the data across from your old POS
Import your old system’s products and customers in bulk from a spreadsheet. It’s as simple as putting the columns in order and importing. The move is done in seconds.
Send your accountant the figures in one click
Forget sending hundreds of PDFs every quarter. Download your sales and refunds to a spreadsheet in one click and send it over. Easier for you, and a relief for them.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I handle frame sizes and colours?
Yes. The same model in three frame sizes and two colours is a single product with six variants, each with its own barcode and its own stock. It only counts once towards your plan’s limit.
Can I keep a record of repairs for each customer?
Yes. Every sale and every job is filed against the customer’s record, so you know which bike they ride, what you fitted last time and when it was serviced.
Can it cope with thousands of small components?
Yes. The Professional plan covers 5,000 separate products and Premium 20,000, and the search finds any of them as you type, by barcode or by name.
What do I need to get started?
A computer, a receipt printer, a cash drawer, a barcode scanner and an internet connection.
How do I charge for labour as well as parts?
The parts come off stock onto the ticket and the labour goes on as its own line, priced how you price it, so the customer sees what they are paying for. Anything that does not exist as a product goes on as a line with the description you type.
Does it tell the difference between sizes and colours?
Yes. The same model in four sizes and three colours is twelve separate counts, so the screen tells you whether you have that exact bike or whether it needs ordering. The same applies to tyres in different widths.
Will it warn me before I run out of small parts?
Yes. Set the level at which each line needs reordering and the POS shows you what is running down, which is what stops a bike sitting in the workshop waiting for a three-euro cable.
Can I see how much comes from sales and how much from repairs?
Yes, month by month. A bike shop has two businesses in one and they peak at opposite ends of the year, so that is usually what tells you how much stock to have on the floor in February.
