Built for African retail.
Proven for three decades.
In 1992 we shipped one of the first enterprise Windows POS systems built for chain stores. Today CAD systems run the till, the back office and the head office for the largest independent supermarket groups in four countries — and CAD 2.0 puts a built-in AI behind every one of them.
Built for networks that go down.
Connectivity in most of the territories we work in is not something you can take for granted — so we never designed around the assumption that it would be there. Every till keeps trading when the link to head office drops.
Our own sync layer brings stores and head office back into step the moment connectivity returns — no batch jobs, no manual reconciliation, no lost sales in between. Optimised, designed and built in South Africa, it was made for African conditions: fast, and rugged enough to survive them.
One system, from the till to the head office.
Point of sale, back office, distribution centre and head office, all on a platform designed to scale from a single store to hundreds.
Point of Sale
For supermarkets, clothing retailers, and almost everything in between — built to keep ringing up sales even when the network won't.
Head Office, Back Office & DC
Stock, pricing, promotions and reporting that scale from one store to hundreds, with distribution centre modules built to match.
Predictive Replenishment
Forecasts that read season, lead times, day of week and month, festivals and promotions — so just-in-time stock stays just in time.
Identity & Access
Biometric logins and Dallas eButton ID, so the person on the till is always the person who's meant to be there.
Real-Time Stock
Live stock visibility carried through Android handheld devices and till-side dashboards alike.
Dashboards & Widgets
The numbers that matter, in front of the people who need them, without anyone going digging for them.
An AI that already knows your stock.
CAD 2.0 runs on any device, on any operating system. Built into it is our own LLM — trained on your sales and stock data, ready to answer in almost any language, in real time. Whether the question is "what sold yesterday" or "why is margin slipping in dairy," it's support and insight in the same breath.
- Device and OS agnostic — no fixed hardware lock-in
- Built-in LLM for support and day-to-day guidance
- Real-time sales and profitability insight, on demand
- Responds in almost any language, in real time
- Head office, back office and DC modules engineered to scale to hundreds of stores
Backbone of the largest independent supermarket groups, market by market.
If a market requires direct tax authority integration, banking links, or value-added services, that's a conversation we've already had somewhere else in Africa.
If it has a till, there's a good chance we've already built for it.
The two sectors we haven't taken on are hospitality and restaurants/fast food. Everywhere else in retail, there's a strong chance we've already solved the problem you're about to describe to us.
Thirty-three years of retail floors, in production, across four countries.
If you're weighing up a retail platform that has to keep working when nothing else does, let's talk.
