Challenges we solve
Slow checkout at peak hours
Long queues during weekends and sale seasons push shoppers to walk out before paying.
Stock mismatches across branches
Shelf counts, back-store counts and the accounting system rarely agree, leading to lost sales and dead stock.
Manual VAT and returns handling
Preparing FTA-compliant tax invoices and processing exchanges by hand costs time and invites errors.
No visibility for owners
Owners only learn how each shop performed days later, from spreadsheets stitched together by staff.
How POS Emirates helps
POS Emirates gives retailers a single platform: a touch POS that bills in seconds, an inventory engine that updates stock in real time across every branch, and dashboards that owners can open on their phone. Barcode scanners, receipt printers, cash drawers and price checkers are supplied pre-configured, so cashiers are productive after a one-hour training.
Because we are based in Dubai, we handle the whole journey locally: store survey, hardware installation, data migration from your old system, staff training in English or Arabic, and an annual maintenance contract with on-site response. Your VAT invoices, returns, promotions and loyalty programme all work out of the box.

Why UAE retailers choose POS Emirates
Retail in the UAE moves fast. Mall footfall spikes around Dubai Shopping Festival, Eid and the summer sales, while the rest of the year is about margins, stock turns and keeping customers coming back. POS Emirates was built for exactly this rhythm: a POS that never slows down at the counter, inventory that stays accurate across branches, and reporting that tells owners what is happening today, not last week.
We work with single-outlet boutiques in Al Barsha, electronics retailers in Bur Dubai, pharmacies in Sharjah and franchise chains with 30+ stores across the country. The same software scales from one register to hundreds, and the same Dubai-based team supports every one of them.
What a complete retail setup looks like
At the counter
- A 15-inch touch POS terminal with an integrated customer display so shoppers see items and totals as they are scanned.
- A 1D/2D barcode scanner that reads printed labels, phone screens and loyalty QR codes.
- An 80 mm thermal receipt printer and a lockable cash drawer that opens automatically on cash sales.
- A UAE bank card terminal integrated with the POS so the amount is sent automatically and never retyped.
In the back office
- Inventory management with purchase orders, goods receipts, supplier returns and stock takes on a handheld device.
- Automatic reorder levels per store so fast-moving items are never out of stock.
- Central price and promotion management pushed to every branch in seconds.
For owners and managers
- Live dashboards on web and mobile showing sales, margin, footfall by hour and cashier performance.
- Consolidated VAT reports ready for your accountant and FTA filing.
- Role-based access so managers see their store and head office sees everything.
VAT and e-invoicing compliance
Every receipt produced by our POS & Billing Software is a valid UAE tax invoice: TRN, VAT breakdown at 5%, zero-rated and exempt lines, and sequential invoice numbers. As the UAE rolls out e-invoicing, POS Emirates keeps your software updated so you remain compliant without changing how your cashiers work. Returns, exchanges and credit notes are handled with a full audit trail.

POS Emirates supplies the software, the hardware and the people to make it work. One partner, one invoice, one number to call.
What our customers say

Frequently asked questions
How much does a retail POS system cost in the UAE?
A single-store setup with POS software, a touch terminal, scanner, printer and cash drawer typically starts from around AED 4,500 for hardware plus a software plan from AED 149 per month. Multi-branch chains receive a tailored quote based on the number of registers and stores.
Is the POS VAT compliant for the UAE?
Yes. Every invoice includes your TRN, the 5% VAT breakdown and sequential numbering as required by the Federal Tax Authority, and VAT reports are generated automatically for filing.
Can I manage several branches from one place?
Yes. Prices, promotions, products and users are managed centrally, while each store keeps its own stock levels and sales history. Head office sees consolidated reports in real time.
Does the system work offline if the internet drops?
Yes. The POS keeps billing offline and synchronises sales and stock automatically when the connection returns, so a network issue never stops your checkout.
Can you migrate data from my current software?
Yes. We import products, barcodes, prices, customers and opening stock from Excel or from most popular POS systems as part of the implementation service.
Do you support Arabic?
Yes. The POS screens, receipts and reports are available in Arabic and English, and our trainers deliver sessions in both languages.
