Our own bet: a cloud POS for apparel retail.

Apparel Meister is a cloud-based point-of-sale and stock-management platform we built as our own venture — one system that runs the till, the stockroom and the back office for apparel and footwear retailers, from a single store to a multi-store chain, sold as a subscription.

Open invitation

The product is looking for its partner.

The platform is built — a deep back office, a working till, a multi-tenant SaaS core. We're looking for a partner with retail reach to finish and launch it together — or acquire it outright. If that's you, let's talk.

The idea

Client work teaches you to build. A product teaches you what to build.

Years of building retail and loyalty systems for clients kept surfacing the same gap: apparel retailers juggling a till from one vendor, stock in a spreadsheet and reporting in a third place. We decided to build the unified version ourselves — and own the outcome.

The platform

Till, stockroom, back office —
one system.

Three applications on one API, built multi-tenant and multi-store from the first commit.

01

A till built for clothes rails

The POS terminal handles the messy reality of apparel: size/colour variants, returns, discounts and price overrides, gift cards, parked sales, cash-drawer management and receipt printing on Epson ePOS hardware.

02

Stock that actually moves

Purchase orders with delivery tracking, store-to-store transfers, stock counts and barcode label printing — inventory follows the garment across every location.

03

A back office that answers questions

Dashboards per store or chain-wide, cash-flow and detailed sales reports, fast/slow seller analysis, customer accounts with loyalty points and owing balances.

04

A SaaS core, not a cash register

Multi-tenant with role-based permissions, subscription billing and card payments via Stripe, EU VAT validation against VIES and a vendor admin portal for onboarding retailers.
