FAQ
POS system costs
POS budget
What does a custom POS / cash register system cost?
A single-terminal till with receipts and items starts at around EUR 17,000–30,000 excl. VAT. Multi-store systems with offline mode and hospitality features run EUR 35,000–80,000. Calculated at EUR 140/hour – software Made in Germany from Leer, East Frisia.
When does custom POS beat a cloud till?
Cloud standard tills fit simple retail. As soon as you need custom receipt logic, store sync without vendor lock-in or deep ERP integration, custom development pays off: full data ownership and changes without waiting for a vendor roadmap.
What does offline POS capability cost?
Offline mode (+25%) keeps sales running during network outages and syncs later. For stores with unreliable connectivity or markets, it is often mandatory – and prevents lost revenue at the critical moment.
Discuss your POS project
We clarify terminals, fiscalisation and store structure and recommend the most economical POS solution.
Fiscalisation & stores
What does fiscalisation mean for the budget?
TSE/fiscal integration (from about EUR 4,800) is mandatory for electronic cash systems in Germany. We plan it early so go-live and audits work without rework.
How expensive is online shop and POS sync?
Shop sync (from about EUR 6,500) keeps stock and prices aligned between store and webshop. That removes duplicate maintenance and overselling – key for omnichannel retailers.
How long does a POS rollout take?
Single-terminal solutions go live in 6–10 weeks; store rollouts with hardware and offline take 3–5 months. Best practice: pilot one store, then roll out with unified master data.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
