The Retail Suite: what a shop floor actually runs on
Five counter records -- till and stock, reordering, the queue board, warranty cover and loyalty points -- at $209.00 against $355.00 bought apart. Two of the five make a design claim worth testing in the demo, and three jobs this suite does not attempt at all.
A shop floor runs on five small jobs that never merge into one system on their own: ringing up a sale without overselling the last unit, deciding what to reorder before a shelf goes empty, calling the next customer forward, tracking what a warranty still covers, and keeping loyalty points honest. Rented separately, each of those five is its own subscription, and none of them is large enough on its own to justify buying a whole system around it. Together they are a standing monthly bill for what is really one counter. The Retail Suite is the five as one purchase: $209.00 once for a single licence, $469.00 extended, five self-hosted products each doing one job.
The five, and what each does
| Product | Job | Single licence |
|---|---|---|
| Vendra | Self-hosted POS and inventory engineered so overselling is impossible | $59.00 |
| Restock | Import your sales history and get reorder points, days-of-stock and suggested order quantities per SKU | $89.00 |
| Tokora | Self-hosted queue and token display: issue numbers, call them to counters, run the waiting-room board | $69.00 |
| Warrantora | Self-hosted warranty register: what you sold, when the cover ends, and every claim with the reason for each decision | $79.00 |
| Loyalora | Self-hosted points register with a ledger you can replay: no stored balance, no order ceiling, no monthly fee | $59.00 |
The arithmetic, labelled as arithmetic
Add the five single licences and the total is $355.00. The Retail Suite is $209.00, a saving of $146.00 against buying them one at a time. The extended licence, covering every domain the buyer runs plus one build handed over per client project, is $469.00. That is addition and subtraction, nothing more: it holds for the prices quoted here and on the product pages at the same reading. If the suite page ever prints a different total, trust it over this paragraph; prices are read once, on a date, and they move.
Two of the five make a claim worth testing
Most of the five are exactly what they say: a book, a board, a register. Two carry a design claim worth stopping on, because that claim is the reason this suite is not simply five convenient bundles sold together.
Vendra is engineered, in the store's own words, so overselling is impossible. That matters most for a shop that sells the same stock in two places: a counter and a website, two tills, a stockroom feeding a shop floor. Without that guarantee, two sales of the last unit can each go through before either till or channel knows the other happened, and the shop finds out only when it cannot fulfil one of them. A system built so that cannot happen is making a claim about its own internals, not about the shelf, and it is worth understanding what is being claimed before relying on it.
Loyalora keeps points as a ledger you can replay rather than a stored balance. The difference shows up the first time something goes wrong. A stored balance is a single number, overwritten on every transaction; if one write fails, or runs twice, or lands out of order, that number is now simply wrong, and there is nothing left to check it against, because the number was the only record there ever was. A ledger keeps every award and every redemption as its own row and does not store a balance at all; the balance is the sum of the rows, computed on demand. If a row is ever in doubt, the whole ledger can be replayed from its own history and the true figure arrived at again. One approach can drift silently and never know it happened; the other cannot drift from anything except its own record, and that record is always there to check against.
Both are claims about how the software is built, not something to take on trust from a product page. Test both in the free live demo before buying: try to oversell the last unit on purpose from two places at once and watch what happens; award and redeem points, then see whether replaying the ledger agrees with the balance on screen.
What renting the same two jobs costs
Two of the five have a rented equivalent priced on the suite page itself, in each vendor's own published monthly figure. Qminder, against Tokora's queue-and-token job, publishes $869.00 a month; twelve months of that is $10,428.00 in year one, read 2026-09-03. Against Warrantora's warranty job the suite page now cites WarrantyHub, whose entry tier publishes $549.00 a month; twelve months is $6,588.00 in year one, read 2026-08-22. Both year-one figures are the published monthly price multiplied by twelve and nothing else: no discount assumed, no change in usage.
Read the scale before the saving, because the warranty row does not mean what a saving usually means. WarrantyHub's entry tier buys around a thousand claims a month, and it is sold to manufacturers, builders and home-warranty administrators. A shop registering a few hundred items a year is nowhere near that, so the honest finding is not that owning Warrantora saves $6,588.00 a year; it is that $549.00 a month is the cheapest price published anywhere in that category, and everything cheaper than it is not published at all. The vendor this page cited until recently, Claimlane, no longer publishes a dollar figure at all -- its page now reads from EUR 700 a month billed annually, and our record carries no dollar price for it rather than converting one. A price read on a date can move by the next, as this one did; check the vendor's own page before deciding anything from either row.
Who should not buy this
Say it before the price, not after. This suite is the operational records of a counter: what is in stock, what is due for reorder, who is next, what is still under warranty, what a customer has earned. It is not a payment system, and a shop that needs integrated card processing built into the till is not served by anything here; that job sits outside every one of these five products. It is not a multi-branch stock system either: a shop that moves inventory between locations as routine business needs a transfer workflow this suite does not attempt. And it is not an accounting general ledger; a business that wants its books kept here is asking a counter register to be something it is not. A shop already running a system for any of those three jobs is not being asked to replace it; these five sit beside it, keeping their own five records and nothing more.
The owned side is not free once the licence is paid, either. A licence buys the software; running it still needs your own server, your own backups, and your own attention when an update ships. None of that goes away because the purchase was one-time.
One at a time, or all five
Each of the five installs standalone and can be adopted on its own. A shop with only a queue problem (a waiting room, a numbered ticket, a counter that calls people forward) can buy Tokora alone and stop there; nothing about it requires the other four. A shop with only a reordering problem can do the same with Restock. The saving in the arithmetic above only exists once two or three of the five jobs are genuinely open on the same floor; the suite is priced for that shop, not for the one still solving a single job.
