Counter hardware
Connects the counter's cash drawer, receipt printer and customer pole display to the till. Set up each counter once in Desk; the counter's computer runs QZ Tray.
Click and collect
A Desk board for the web orders a store must pick and hand over: the web orders still to pick, and on each delivery note who collected it. Nothing leaves your shop.
Coupon rules
Rules for your own coupons, checked at Pay: a coupon for a customer's first purchase only, or only for customers in one group. The cashier sees why a coupon is refused, removes it and pays. A coupon with no rule passes while the app's setup is right.
Till field rules
Your own words and fields on the till, with no code: Product for the item name, Stars for points, no email field, a phone required. The rules are rows of a till theme you save as IVENDNEXT FLD Till.
iVendNext POS
The till for your stores, in the browser on a phone, a tablet or the counter: scan items, take payment, give receipts, handle returns and close the day.
Price-checker kiosk
A tablet on your shop floor where a customer scans an item and sees its name, picture and price from your store's price list. Promotions are worked out at the till. No sign-in on the tablet; switch a kiosk off in Desk.
Members-only check before payment
When the cashier presses Pay, the till refuses a sale with a members-only item for a customer who is not a member, and asks for ID on a sale at or above your limit.
Till guard rules
Checks at the till, in one app: no line at a placeholder price such as 0.01, a most per line, the cashier or a manager for a large sale, and a question when a flagged item is scanned. Each rule is off until you set it.
Warranty terms
Each item's warranty term in months, kept in the shop, for a till key or service you connect; an item's own term wins over its item group's.
Stock
Apps that work in every country.
Bin locations
Where stock sits inside a store: locations, aisles, bins and what is in each bin, kept in Desk as notes. A till key, Where is it?, tells the cashier which bin holds each item. It does not move stock.
iVendNext Handheld
Stock work by barcode on a rugged handheld or a phone: receive goods, move stock between stores, count, return to the supplier, look up items, queue labels to print from Desk, and pick, pack and deliver.
Pick route
A button on a submitted sales order, Assign pick route, creates a pick task for the picker you choose, listed under the order.
Unit codes at the scan
Scan a unit's own code to sell that unit with its batch; a unit marked Sold is refused (marking it Sold is the shop's step, or a connected service's).
Approvals
Apps that work in every country.
Price change approvals
A price change is requested, approved by someone other than the person who asked, then set on the price list by the Applier and marked Applied.
Price change approvals across stores
Price changes per store: once each manager is given their store, they approve that store's requests; head office sees and approves them all.
Customers
Apps that work in every country.
iVendNext Loyalty
Points and rewards: customers earn points on what they buy and redeem them at the till, and the cashier sees each customer's balance during the sale.
WhatsApp messages
Send WhatsApp messages to your customers from iVendNext through your own WhatsApp Business account: order confirmations, receipts and payment reminders, sent automatically once you set them up, and campaigns from Desk.
Gift card on spend
A sale over your threshold earns the customer your own gift card, spendable after a hold (24 hours by default). One card per sale, or one for each full threshold. Cancelled or returned sales void unused cards. The card is not on that sale's receipt.
Customer-owned loyalty
Your own loyalty program, with your own tiers and cash-back rules: members, plans and cash back kept in iVendNext, and a member's status on the till.

AI
Apps that work in every country.
AI Gateway
Connect the AI assistant you already use to your iVendNext data. Each person signs in as themselves, so the assistant sees only what they may see, and every request is logged.
CoPilot
A chat panel on every Desk page: ask questions about your business, draft documents and run reports in plain words.
Foresight
Forecasts for stock, sales and cash flow, made from your own iVendNext data with no outside system. Suggested actions, such as a purchase order, are drafted for your team to review.

WooCommerce
Connects your WooCommerce web shop to iVendNext: products, prices and stock go to the shop, paid web orders come back to iVendNext, and shoppers can see and spend the points they earn in your stores.
Acumatica
Connects iVendNext to Acumatica, which stays your system of record for accounting and master data: items come from Acumatica, and your stores' sales and payments go back to it.
Paystack payments
Customers pay through Paystack on their own phone at the till, where Paystack works.
