Retail & Trading
The Technology That Runs Your Store
From the counter to the stockroom to the accounts — aBitPOS and the infrastructure underneath it, built in Bhutan for retailers, wholesalers, and distributors.
Why It Matters
Digitising Bhutan's Retail Counter
Bhutan's retail landscape is evolving rapidly, with consumers expecting seamless shopping experiences both online and in-store. At aBit, we partner with retailers across the country to implement technology that bridges traditional commerce and modern digital expectations.
Handwritten ledgers and disconnected billing books make it hard to know what you hold, what sells, and what you owe. aBitPOS replaces that with barcode billing at the counter, real-time stock across every warehouse, and accounts that post themselves as you trade.
Whether you run a single boutique or a chain of stores, our solutions are designed around the realities of retail in Bhutan — connectivity, local payments, GST and TDS compliance, and multi-location management.
Our Software Solutions
One platform for POS, inventory, purchasing, accounting, loyalty and reporting — with the online storefront and payments to match.
aBitPOS — Point of Sale
The operating system for your store
Locally developed by aBit for retail and wholesale in Bhutan. Barcode billing, held transactions, multiple payment methods, and a touchscreen interface your counter staff can learn in an afternoon — on iPad, Android tablets, or a full POS terminal.
Fast POS Checkout
Barcode scanning, touchscreen-optimised interface, held transactions, and multiple payment methods.
Customer Loyalty
Points-based rewards, tiered programmes, birthday bonuses, referral tracking, and redeemable discounts.
Realtime Cashier Register
Opening float, shift handovers, and register reconciliation with PIN-based staff authentication.
Mobile Manager App
Monitor live sales, check stock levels, and track store performance from your phone.
Inventory & Purchasing
Know what you hold, everywhere
Stock that stays accurate across shops and warehouses, and a purchasing trail that runs from order to goods received to supplier payment — the part that matters most for wholesale and distribution.
Inventory Management
FIFO batch tracking, multi-warehouse stock, low-stock alerts, stock adjustments, and barcode label printing.
Purchasing & Suppliers
Create purchase orders, receive goods with GRN verification, manage supplier accounts, and track purchase history and costs.
Multi-branch Management
Run multiple locations from a single dashboard with role-based access, inter-branch transfers, and consolidated reporting.
Real-time Reports
Sales analytics, product performance, profit margins, payables and receivables, and exportable financial reports.
Accounting & Compliance
GST and TDS handled at the till
Tax is calculated as you sell, and the books post themselves. For businesses that only need invoicing, aBit Invoice covers GST-compliant billing on its own.
GST & TDS Compliance
Automatic calculation for inclusive and exclusive GST, TDS deductions, tax invoices, and compliant receipts.
Full Accounting
Automated journal entries, account ledgers, fiscal year management, vendor payments, and customer credit tracking.
Enterprise Security
Role-based access control, encrypted connections, session management, and full audit logging.
Private Cloud Hosting
Deployed on a private server for your business. No telemetry, no analytics harvesting, no third-party data sharing.
Online Store & Payments
Sell beyond the counter
A storefront your customers can browse before they visit, and a payment gateway that settles in Ngultrum. Built and hosted by the same team that runs your POS.
Business & Catalogue Websites
Custom design, reliable hosting, and domains — with ongoing support from a team in Thimphu.
Local Payment Integration
Accept payments online through pay.bt, settled in Ngultrum for Bhutanese businesses.
One Supplier, One Invoice
Storefront, payments, POS, and the network behind them — all supported by the same team.
One Connected Platform
Every module writes to the same ledger, so nothing is entered twice and nothing drifts out of sync.
You raise a purchase order and receive goods against it with GRN verification
Stock updates across every warehouse and branch, with barcode labels printed on receipt
The counter scans and bills, applying GST and TDS automatically
Loyalty points are earned and redeemed against the customer's profile

IT Infrastructure for Retail
The counter only works if everything behind it does. We supply, install, and maintain the hardware and networks your shop runs on.

aBitPOS runs on a private server dedicated to your business, with automated backups and a recovery plan you control.
CCTV & Surveillance
IP camera systems covering the till, stockroom, and shop floor, with remote viewing from your phone.
