Which questions decide your choice of POS software?
Before you compare systems, write down these questions and look for a written answer to each:
- How much do I pay in total, and is it once or every month?
- What does the price include: sales, inventory and reports?
- Do I need new devices, or will my current ones do?
- Is the interface in Arabic, and can my team use it easily?
- What if I open a second branch?
- Where is my data kept, and is it backed up?
- Who helps me get started, and how do I reach them?
Below are Wared POS's answers to these questions in the UAE, taken from its official pages on waredpos.com.
How much does Wared POS cost in the UAE?
The price of Wared in the UAE is AED 749 paid once for one branch, with no monthly fee. You pay by card on a secure checkout page on waredpos.com, and the full software is then yours for your branch.
If you plan to run more than one branch, note that the price shown here is for one branch. For the price of additional branches, contact the Wared team before you buy, so you have the full picture.
What does the price include?
According to Wared's pages, the software includes what your shop needs day to day:
- Sales, inventory and purchasing
- Barcode, receipt printer and cash drawer
- Live sales and inventory reports
- Customers, loyalty points and coupons
- Users with permissions and an activity log
- Item import from Excel
There is no limit on the number of products or sales. Picture a retail shop in Dubai with two sales staff, one who prefers Arabic and one who prefers English: each user picks the interface language, each has set permissions, and the activity log records every transaction, while the owner follows sales and inventory from any device.
Do you need new devices?
No. Wared runs in the browser on a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone, and connects to receipt printers, barcode scanners and cash drawers. According to Wared's integrations page, it also supports touch screens, card payment terminals and customer displays.
If you need to buy devices, ask the Wared team for their prices, because the software price does not include hardware.
Language and your team
The interface is in Arabic and English, and each user can choose their language. Every employee has an account with permissions you set, and an activity log shows who did what. No prior training is needed: according to Wared's FAQ page, you can start within minutes by adding a branch and a product and opening a sales shift. A built-in guide and a smart assistant are available inside the system, and you can book a demo with the Wared team.
More than one branch, and your data kept safe
Branches are managed from one dashboard, each tracked separately, and more than one checkout can run in the same branch. As for your data, according to Wared's FAQ page it is fully encrypted and backed up daily, and according to the privacy policy published on waredpos.com you have the right to access and correct your data and to request its deletion or transfer.
