4POSEVO – The Next Evolution of 4POS

Over the years, 4POS has evolved many times. From its early days on

Windows XP, through Windows 7, 10, and now Windows 11.

The system has grown into a powerful and trusted platform used by

thousands of businesses.

4POSEVOlution, or 4POSEVO, represents the most significant evolution yet.

The Problem We Had to Solve :

4POS has always been a desktop-based system. While reliable, this created

a growing limitation:

You could only access your system from specific computers

You needed remote software like TeamViewer or AnyDesk to work from home

The office computer must be switched on

It’s inconvenient, slow, and not practical

Many customers want to:

·Change prices from home

·Check stock on a weekend

·Analyse sales while travelling

·Manage multiple branches remotely

Desktop software simply wasn’t designed for that.

Why We Didn’t “Just Put It in the Cloud”

Over the years, we explored many options. The conclusion was clear:

You cannot take an existing desktop system and simply “move it to the cloud”

without major performance and usability problems.4POS is built in VB.NET

and SQL. Running it directly in the cloud would be:

·Slow

·Restrictive

·Still tied to specific machines

The only real solution was a rewrite.

What we Are Actually Doing

This is important:

We are NOT redesigning 4POS.We are NOT starting from scratch.

4POSEVO is the same 4POS you already know, rebuilt using modern cloud

technologies.

·Backend: Existing 4POSEVO logic rewritten as secure APIs

·Frontend: Built in Flutter, allowing one system to run on:

·Windows

·Android

·iOS

·Any modern web browser

This means:

·One codebase

·One database

·One experience

·Available everywhere and anytime you have internet

What “Cloud-Based” Really Means :

Your data will be stored on secure, professional cloud servers

(not in your office or your pc).

These servers provide:

·Automatic backups

·High-level security

·Redundancy

·Continuous availability

·No need for local server maintenance

Although many companies are hosted on the same infrastructure,

each business’s data is completely isolated and secure.

You will only ever see your own data.

What This Means for You. With 4POSEVO, you can:

·Access your system from any device

·Change prices and see them live within seconds

·Check stock levels, values, minimums, and maximums

·View debtors, creditors, and profit analysis

·Drill into reports instead of just receiving summaries

·Manage security permissions remotely

·Run multiple branches on one database

·Work from anywhere, anytime

No more:

·Waiting until Monday

·Calling staff for reports

·Hoping backups worked

·Losing data due to hardware failure

A Real Business Advantage

Small changes can have big results.

One price increase of R1 on a high-volume item can mean tens of thousands

of rand extra per month—but only if you can react quickly and confidently.

Pricing Philosophy

Development is already funded through our existing customer base.You are

not paying for development.

You are paying for:

·Server infrastructure

·Security

·Availability

·Ongoing cloud services
