Project snapshot

Engagement at a Glance

The client is a technology company building smart business solutions across multiple industries, restaurants, retail, engineering, and contracting. They set out to create an advanced point-of-sale (POS) platform that would remove the inefficiencies in sales, inventory, and payment processes, and serve businesses in Saudi Arabia and beyond.

Before the project, businesses relied on fragmented systems that failed to communicate with each other. They had no reliable way to operate offline, struggled to manage inventory and sales across locations, lacked integration with Saudi payment gateways and essential hardware, and had little real-time analytics or proper multilingual support, all of which slowed operations and reporting.

ZAPTA designed and delivered TagDev, an integrated SaaS POS platform unifying sales, inventory, and payments with offline support, Arabic/English localization, Saudi payment integrations, real-time dashboards, and web/mobile access.

The challenge

What the client came to us with

Fragmented, disconnected systems were holding businesses back — five structural problems that the new platform needed to solve at once.

No offline capability
Connectivity

The platform keeps working with or without connectivity, syncing automatically when back online, so business never stops during an outage.

Fragmented inventory & sales
Visibilty

Inventory and sales data were managed inefficiently across different locations, with no single, reliable view of what was happening in the business.

No local payment or hardware support
Integration

Systems lacked integration with Saudi payment gateways and essential peripherals such as printers and barcode scanners, forcing manual workarounds.

The solution

A SaaS POS platform built for real operations

Four design decisions turned fragmented tools into one unified, resilient POS platform.

Online & offline functionality
Resilience

The platform keeps working with or without connectivity, syncing automatically when back online, so business never stops during an outage.

Full arabic & english support
Localization

A complete bilingual interface serves both local and international users, removing the language barrier that slowed adoption.

Saudi payments & peripherals
Integration

A structured application, interview, and admin-led approval process ensures only qualified, committed educators join the platform.

Real-time analytics
Insights

Built-in dashboards and reporting give managers live visibility into sales and inventory, supporting faster, better-informed decisions.
