Your phone is the mobile POS
Skip the bulky register. TillGrid packs barcode scanning, inventory, and checkout into a pocket-sized Android app—built for shops that move fast.
What is a mobile POS app?
A mobile POS app replaces—or supplements—a traditional cash register with software on your phone or tablet. Staff scan products, apply discounts, complete sales, and review history without being tied to a fixed counter.
For food trucks, market tables, boutique fitting rooms, and busy shop floors, mobility is not a luxury. It is how you keep lines short.
Key features to expect
Look for fast barcode scanning, automatic stock deduction, searchable sales history, and stable performance on mid-range Android devices. Offline support matters when Wi‑Fi drops during peak hours.
- Camera-based barcode scanning
- Real-time inventory on each sale
- Receipt and transaction history
- Simple product catalog management

Mobile POS vs traditional terminals
Traditional terminals excel in high-volume fixed checkout lanes. Mobile POS wins when space is tight, staff need to move, or you are just starting out. Many merchants begin mobile and add hardware only when volume demands it.
