Online stores, POS and ERP software that keep stock and sales in step
I build the software a retail or service business runs on: online stores with a real back office, point-of-sale apps for the counter, and ERP systems that tie sales, stock, customers, staff and invoices together. The aim is one source of truth, so a sale online or at the counter updates everything it should.
Live examples include Designers Glasses and Faisal Optical Service, two eyewear stores where customers configure prescription lenses step by step, and Asaan Optics, which handles counter sales, stock and staff shifts for optical shops. I have also built SoftHouse Pro, an ERP for a software house, and Tabarak POS for restaurants, and I am building Asaan Jewellers POS for gold jewelry shops.
What the service includes
Custom online stores
Catalogs with variants and filters, carts, coupons, reviews, order tracking and customer accounts with PDF invoices.
Product configurators
Guided flows for products that need choices, such as a four-step prescription lens configurator or made-to-measure tailoring with body measurements.
Checkout and payments
The payment methods your market uses, from cash on delivery and bank transfer to PayPal and card gateways.
POS for the counter
Fast billing, discounts, split bills, staff shifts and cash drawer tracking, with thermal receipts.
Inventory and stock
Variant-level stock that adjusts when orders are placed or cancelled, with barcodes and stock value reports.
ERP modules
Projects, attendance, leave, clients, invoicing and performance scoring for service businesses, as in SoftHouse Pro.
Admin dashboards and exports
Sales analytics, Excel exports and role-based admin access for owners and staff.
Problems it solves
- Stock that never matches
- When online orders and counter sales are tracked separately, stock is always wrong. Deducting stock on every order, and restoring it on cancellation, keeps one accurate count.
- Products too complex for a standard store
- Prescription lenses depend on vision type, prescription, coatings and package. A guided configurator with admin-managed pricing lets customers order correctly without calling the shop.
- Credit customers tracked in a notebook
- Many shops sell on credit (khata). A customer ledger with partial payments and balances replaces the notebook and shows who owes what.
- Prices that change every day
- In a jewelry shop each piece is priced from the day's gold rate per karat, the net weight and making charges. The POS calculates it from the rate board instead of the cashier's calculator.
- Saudi e-invoicing requirements
- Shops in Saudi Arabia need e-invoices that carry the ZATCA QR code. Asaan Optics Desktop Pro signs simplified invoices and prints the Phase 2 QR code on each receipt.
How I approach it
I model the business before the store. On the eyewear stores, the hard part was not the cart but the lens engine: an admin-managed matrix of lens packages, usages, add-ons and tints that decides what a customer can choose for their prescription and what it costs, including a guard for high prescriptions.
Every sale is treated as several updates at once. Placing an order reduces variant stock, applies the coupon and creates the invoice, and cancelling it puts the stock back. In POS apps I add shifts, cash drawer movements and Z-reports, so the owner can reconcile the counter at the end of the day.
For stores and ERPs I mostly use Laravel with Livewire, Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS on MySQL, which gives a fast storefront and a full admin panel in one codebase. For counter software I use Flutter on Windows and Android, so the POS keeps working offline and prints 58 mm and 80 mm receipts.

Frequently asked questions
What types of business management systems can Farhad develop?
Farhad has built POS systems for optical shops and restaurants, an ERP for a software house, a rental property manager, a sales CRM for a car business and e-commerce back offices, and has worked on a jewelry POS and a club management SaaS that are still in development. The common thread is connected records: sales, stock, customers, staff and payments kept consistent across modules.
Can you build an online store with a custom admin panel?
Yes. Designers Glasses and Faisal Optical Service both run on custom Laravel stores with their own admin panels for the catalog, variants, lens pricing, orders, coupons, reviews and customers, built so the store owners can manage them without a developer.
Which payment methods can you integrate?
I have built checkouts with cash on delivery, bank transfer, PayPal and a bank card gateway, and app payments through Moyasar, Google Play billing and a mobile wallet. The right choice depends on your country, your bank and your customers.
Can the POS work without internet?
Yes. Tabarak POS and Asaan Jewellers POS run entirely on the device, and Asaan Optics records counter sales offline and syncs them when the connection returns, without duplicates.
Do you support ZATCA e-invoicing for Saudi businesses?
Yes. I implemented ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing in Asaan Optics Desktop Pro: UBL invoice XML, cryptographic stamping, the Phase 2 QR code and reporting to the Fatoora platform. For a new system, onboarding is done with the business's own ZATCA registration.
Can you move my existing data into the new system?
Usually, yes. Asaan Optics includes a spreadsheet import wizard, and the Shehmina's Wardrobe prototype has a command that imports products from a WooCommerce store. I review your current data first and plan the import as part of the launch.
Have a software idea or a business process that needs a proper system?
Tell me what you are trying to fix. I will reply with honest questions, a practical plan and a realistic estimate.
