Project snapshot
Engagement at a Glance
The client is a technology company building smart business solutions across multiple industries restaurants, retail, engineering, and contracting. They set out to create an advanced point-of-sale (POS) platform that would remove the inefficiencies in sales, inventory, and payment processes, and serve businesses in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
Before the project, businesses relied on fragmented systems that failed to communicate with each other. They had no reliable way to operate offline, struggled to manage inventory and sales across locations, lacked integration with Saudi payment gateways and essential hardware, and had little real-time analytics or proper multilingual support all of which slowed operations and reporting.
ZAPTA designed and delivered the TagDev Integrated POS System, a SaaS platform that unifies sales, inventory, and payments in one place. Built over a five-month Agile engagement, it combines online and offline functionality, full Arabic and English support, Saudi payment-gateway and peripheral integration, real-time dashboards, and cross-platform access on web and mobile.

The challenge
What the client came to us with
Three structural problems were slowing onboarding and increasing compliance risk, each rooted in fragmented, manual tooling rather than a lack of effort from the team.
No offline capability
Connectivity
Existing systems could not operate without an internet connection, leaving businesses unable to transact during outages or in low-connectivity environments.
Fragmented inventory & sales
Visibilty
Inventory and sales data were managed inefficiently across different locations, with no single, reliable view of what was happening in the business.
No local payment or hardware support
Integration
Systems lacked integration with Saudi payment gateways and essential peripherals such as printers and barcode scanners, forcing manual workarounds.
THE SOLUTION
A SaaS POS Platform Built for Real Operations
Four design decisions turned a manual, multi-tool process into a single measurable workflow.
Online & offline functionality
Resilience
The platform keeps working with or without connectivity, syncing automatically when back online, so business never stops during an outage.
Full arabic & english support
Localization
A complete bilingual interface serves both local and international users, removing the language barrier that slowed adoption.
Saudi payments & peripherals
Integration
A structured application, interview, and admin-led approval process ensures only qualified, committed educators join the platform.
Real-time analytics
Insights
Built-in dashboards and reporting give managers live visibility into sales and inventory, supporting faster, better-informed decisions.
What Terry Said
Meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to deadlines fuelled a fantastic project collaboration. Their consistent quality output showcases their reliability and deep understanding of the project, making them a true partner, not just a vendor. Bravo, ZAPTA!
