A POS that passes fiscalization, not one bolted on after

In Albania a cash register is not just a checkout — every sale has to be fiscalized. The fiskalizimi system introduced by Law 87/2019 requires each cash receipt to be signed with an AKSHI digital certificate, transmitted to the General Directorate of Taxes' Central Information System, and stamped with an NSLF identifier and QR code before it prints. We build that flow into the core of the POS so compliance is automatic at the moment of sale, not a separate step your cashier can forget.

  • NSLF identifier and verification QR code printed on every cash receipt
  • AKSHI digital certificate signing handled silently in the background
  • Real-time transmission to the DPT Central Information System per sale
  • Correct VAT rates, exemptions and document types out of the box
  • Audit-ready electronic archive of every fiscalized transaction

Keeps selling when the internet drops

Connectivity is never guaranteed — a busy restaurant on a Saturday night, a beach kiosk, a shop with flaky DSL. A POS that freezes when the line goes down is useless. We design ours offline-first: sales complete locally, receipts print, and each transaction is queued and transmitted to fiskalizimi automatically the moment the connection returns, with the proper deferred-reporting handling the regulation allows. The cashier never has to think about it.

  • Offline-first checkout that never blocks a sale
  • Local queue that auto-reconciles to fiskalizimi on reconnect
  • Compliant deferred reporting within the allowed window
  • Works on counter terminals, tablets and mobile devices
  • Resilient on weak connections and shared rural links

Built for both retail and hospitality

Retail and hospitality look like the same checkout but behave very differently. A shop needs barcode scanning, stock levels and fast queues; a restaurant needs table maps, open tabs, course timing, split bills and a kitchen display. We build the POS around your operation rather than forcing your operation into a boxed product, so the workflow on screen matches how your staff actually serve customers.

  • Retail: barcode scanning, stock control, multi-tender and discounts
  • Hospitality: table plans, open tabs, split and merge bills
  • Kitchen / bar display and order routing for restaurants
  • Loyalty, gift cards and promotions when you need them
  • Multi-currency and lek/euro pricing for tourist-facing venues

Reporting and integrations that close the loop

A receipt is only the start. Owners need to see takings by day, shift, product and location; accountants need clean exports; and the POS has to talk to the systems you already run. We give you live dashboards and reports, then wire the POS into your inventory, accounting suite, e-commerce or ERP so data flows once and stays consistent everywhere. If you run several outlets, you manage them from one place.

  • Live sales dashboards by day, shift, product, cashier and location
  • Z-reports, VAT summaries and clean exports for your accountant
  • Inventory sync so stock and sales never drift apart
  • Connectors to accounting, ERP and e-commerce platforms
  • Central multi-store management with per-location permissions

Why build with a nearshore Tirana team

POS is a blend of local tax knowledge and demanding real-time engineering — exactly where a Tirana team earns its keep. We work inside the Albanian fiskalizimi context, speak Albanian, Italian and English, and overlap your full working day in the Central European timezone. You get senior engineers at EUR 35-55 per hour, typically 30-60% below Western European rates. Our SunEasy platform on the Albanian Riviera — cashless payments, high transaction volume, EN/IT/AL flows — is proof we ship real, money-handling software that holds up at peak season.

  • On-the-ground knowledge of Albanian fiskalizimi and VAT rules
  • Full CET working-hours overlap and same-day answers
  • Team fluent in Albanian, Italian and English
  • EUR 35-55/hour, roughly 30-60% below Western Europe
  • Dedicated team, fixed-project or staff-augmentation models

Fixed-scope packages

From adding fiscalization to an existing POS to a complete multi-store system — we quote fixed prices for well-defined scopes. Package pricing for the Albanian domestic market is published on the Albanian version of this page.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is your POS software fiscalization-ready for Albania?
    Yes. Fiscalization is built into the core, not added afterwards. Every cash sale is signed with an AKSHI digital certificate, transmitted to the General Directorate of Taxes in real time, and printed with its NSLF identifier and QR code. The cashier completes a normal sale and compliance happens automatically behind it.
  • What happens if the internet goes down during a sale?
    The POS is offline-first, so sales complete and receipts print locally even with no connection. Each transaction is queued and transmitted to fiskalizimi automatically the moment connectivity returns, using the deferred-reporting handling the regulation allows. Your staff never have to stop selling.
  • Can the POS work for both a shop and a restaurant?
    Yes, but we tailor it to each. Retail gets barcode scanning, stock control and fast queues; hospitality gets table plans, open tabs, split bills and a kitchen display. Because we build custom rather than ship a boxed product, the on-screen workflow matches how your team actually serves customers.
  • Can it connect to our existing inventory, accounting or ERP?
    Yes. We build connectors so the POS syncs with the inventory, accounting suite, e-commerce store or ERP you already run, plus exports your accountant can use directly. Data flows once and stays consistent across systems instead of being re-keyed by hand.
  • Do you support multiple stores from one system?
    Yes. You manage all outlets from a central place with per-location permissions and consolidated reporting by day, shift, product, cashier and location. Each store keeps its own fiscalization setup while you see the whole picture in one dashboard.
  • How much does custom POS software cost and how long does it take?
    Our rate is EUR 35-55 per hour, typically 30-60% below Western European agencies. A focused single-location POS can go live in a few weeks, while a multi-store, multi-integration platform takes longer. We give a concrete scope, timeline and written estimate after a short discovery call.
