Description
Phase 1 of this project will be the first step towards revolutionizing the Enterprise POS industry through developing a POS platform with limitless scalability. By allowing the POS application to run anywhere, on any device along with decentralizing development, enabling self-training, and becoming OS-Agnostic to reduce hardware costs, we remove the traditional barriers to POS adoption.

Description (French)
La phase 1 de ce projet sera la première étape vers la révolution de l'industrie des points de vente des entreprises grâce à la création d'une plateforme de points de vente à l'évolutivité illimitée. En permettant à l'application de points de vente de fonctionner n'importe où, sur n'importe quel appareil, en décentralisant le développement, en permettant l'autoformation et en devenant un système d'exploitation non spécifié pour réduire les coûts du matériel, nous éliminons les obstacles habituels à l'adoption de points de vente. Associée aux dernières technologies et à notre back-end d'entreprise en nuage, sur le nuage Kubernetes, cette solution offre une possibilité de points de vente sûre, stable et flexible qui peut être adoptée facilement.
