Introducing aBitPOS — The Operating System for Bhutanese Retail
For years, Bhutanese retailers have faced a difficult choice: use expensive international software that doesn't understand our market, or manage their business with spreadsheets and manual records.Neither is good enough.

Today, we're proud to introduce aBitPOS — a complete retail management platform built right here in Bhutan, for Bhutan.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve

Running a retail business in Bhutan is uniquely challenging. You need software that handles GST and TDS correctly, works in Ngultrum, integrates with local payment methods like mBoB, and keeps running even when the internet doesn't.International POS systems like Square, Shopify POS, and Lightspeed are powerful — but they were built for markets in the US, UK, and Europe. They don't know Bhutanese tax structures. They don't support local payment methods. And when you need help, there's no one in Thimphu to call.We saw this gap and decided to fill it.

What Is aBitPOS?

aBitPOS is more than a point-of-sale system. It's the operating system for your entire retail business — from the sales counter to the back office, from your inventory storeroom to your accounting ledger.One platform. Everything connected.


Fast POS Checkout

Serve customers faster with a touchscreen-optimized interface, barcode scanning, held transactions, and support for multiple payment methods. Your staff can master it in minutes — no lengthy training required.


Inventory Management That Actually Works

Track every product from the moment it arrives to the moment it's sold. Set low-stock alerts so you never run out of your best sellers. Manage multiple warehouses and transfer stock between locations. FIFO batch tracking ensures you always sell the right stock first.


GST & TDS Compliance — Built In

This is where aBitPOS truly stands apart. Automatic tax calculations for both GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive transactions. TDS deductions. Compliant tax invoices and receipt generation. No manual calculations. No compliance headaches.


Full Accounting Module

Most POS systems stop at sales and inventory. aBitPOS goes further with automated journal entries, account ledgers, vendor payment tracking, customer credit management, and fiscal year management aligned to Bhutan's  fiscal year. No separate accounting software needed.


Real-Time Reports & Analytics

Know your numbers at a glance. Daily, weekly, and monthly sales summaries. Product-level profit and cost analysis. Exportable PDF and Excel reports. A live dashboard that updates in real time.


Customer Loyalty Programs

Build a loyal customer base with points-based rewards, tiered loyalty programs, birthday bonuses, referral tracking, and redeemable discounts. Turn one-time buyers into regulars.


Enterprise Security & Data Privacy

Your business data never leaves your infrastructure. No third-party data harvesting. No telemetry. Role-based access control, encrypted connections, PIN-based POS authentication, and full audit logging. aBitPOS is deployed on a private server for your business — you control your data, full stop.


Built for Bhutan, by Bhutan

What makes aBitPOS different from every other POS system available today is simple: we understand your market.
