Optimizing the user interface for touch screen devices was crucial for on-the-go sales entries. A responsive design was implemented to ensure seamless usability across various device types.

Features Development:

Multi-Store Management:

Larapos was engineered to support multi-store operations with features like real-time inventory tracking, and instant data transfers between stores​1​.
