Be fair to the alternatives

When a cloud brand or ERP module fits better

  1. CLOUD

    You want a ready product and quick start

    A cloud brand can suit a single outlet that can handle set-up itself.

  2. ERP

    You already run an ERP

    An ERP-module POS keeps sales, stock and accounting in one system. Quicknet also implements Odoo. QuickERP as an Odoo alternative

  3. CHAIN

VAT and e-invoicing: ask every option the same question

Whichever route you choose, ask which accredited e-invoicing provider the software connects to and for which dates, in writing. Do not accept a general "compliant". Our e-invoicing page records the position as of 30 October 2026 with primary sources.

POS Alternatives in the UAE: FAQs

What is the difference between a cloud POS brand and a local POS installer?

A cloud brand sells the software by subscription and you usually set up the outlet yourself or through a partner. A local installer also supplies the hardware, sets it up, trains your staff and supports you on site.

Is Foodics only for restaurants?

Foodics describes itself as a cloud POS and restaurant management solution for F&B brands. Check its site for the products and UAE terms that apply to you.

Should I use Odoo POS or a standalone POS?

If you already run or plan an ERP, an ERP-module POS keeps sales, stock and accounting together. If you need a simple till quickly, a standalone POS can be easier. See POS vs ERP.

Can I switch from another POS to Quicknet?

Yes if you can export your items, customers and sales. We plan the move, load your items and train staff.

Which is cheapest?

It depends on what is included. Compare hardware, software, set-up, training, support and monthly fees together.

Does Quicknet work with other accounting software?

Yes. Our POS connects to accounting packages such as QuickBooks, Tally and Zoho Books; we confirm the exact connection in the written quote.
