POS system
Choose a POS system that fits the operation.
A POS system records sales, payments, products and stock for a Malaysian SME. Built by Pali compares three practical routes from Penang: an off-the-shelf subscription for standard operations, Orbit POS where its published fit applies, or a custom build when workflows, integrations or data ownership need to be specific.
Which POS system route should you choose?
The right route depends on workflow fit, setup tolerance, ownership and how much the operation differs from a standard counter sale.

Frequently asked questions
Is an off-the-shelf POS the fastest route?
Usually, when the business fits the provider’s standard workflow and accepts its subscription and data model.
When should I consider Orbit POS?
Consider it when the published Orbit Suite fit matches the operation and local-first product approach.
When does a custom POS make sense?
Custom work fits unusual workflows, integrations or ownership requirements that a standard product cannot support.
Can a POS connect to other systems?
Yes. Integration scope can cover accounting, inventory, staff or e-invoice workflows after technical discovery.
