S-02 · Software · Custom software and POS

Software for the shop floor, not the slide deck.

Short answer

Ceylond builds custom business software: point of sale systems, ERP tools, inventory and job tracking, and secure client or staff portals. Our own Ceylond POS runs in a working retail store, with offline sales, bilingual Sinhala and English screens, and shift reconciliation. We bring that real-world experience to every system we build.

Who it is for

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, this service was built for you.
  • 01

    You run the business on spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and memory.

  • 02

    Off-the-shelf software forces your team into a process that does not fit.

  • 03

    Your till goes down whenever the internet does.

  • 04

    Staff and customers keep asking you for information a portal could show them.

What you get

Everything in scope.

Everything below is part of this service. We confirm exactly which parts you need in your proposal.
  • Point of sale

    Fast checkout with barcode scanning, parked sales, cash and card payments, receipts, shift close and a manager dashboard.

  • ERP and operations tools

    Inventory, purchasing, job tracking and reporting shaped around your actual workflow, not a generic template.

  • Client and staff portals

    Secure logins where customers track orders or projects and staff manage their work, built on modern web technology.

  • Offline-first design

    Systems that keep working when the connection drops and sync safely when it returns.

  • Hardware and IoT integration

    Thermal printers, barcode readers and sensors. Our team has an IoT and embedded systems background, so hardware does not scare us.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

  1. 1

    Shadow

    We watch how the work is done today, on the shop floor or in the office, and list what slows people down.

  2. 2

    Prototype

    A clickable prototype your team can try before any heavy building starts.

  3. 3

    Build in phases

    We ship the most valuable module first, get it into real use, then add the next one.

  4. 4

    Train and support

    On-site or remote training, written guides, and support while the system beds in.

Questions

Your questions, answered.

Why build a custom POS instead of buying one?

Off-the-shelf POS works well for standard shops. A custom or tailored system makes sense when you need your own language on screen and on receipts, unusual pricing, offline resilience, or integrations with your other tools. Ceylond POS started that way.

Can the system work without internet?

Yes. We design offline-first: sales are stored locally and synced when the connection returns, so the till keeps running.

Can you connect our new system to the tools we already use?

Usually, yes. We connect to accounting, ecommerce, messaging and spreadsheet tools through their APIs, often using n8n for the glue.

Do you build mobile apps as well?

We build web apps that work well on phones and tablets and can be installed to the home screen. For native app store releases we scope each project individually.
