CranePOS runs on the web, as a native desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and as a mobile app on iOS and Android. The desktop and mobile editions are offline-first - you keep selling when the internet goes down, and everything syncs automatically when you're back online.
The CranePOS web app runs in any modern browser - no installation, no updates to manage. Everything is always up to date. Open the link, log in, and you're ready.
Install CranePOS directly on your computer. The desktop app is offline-first - if your internet drops mid-shift, you keep selling without interruption. When connectivity returns, everything syncs automatically in the background.
Ideal for fixed till points, back-office workstations, and any setup where a reliable, always-on POS is critical.
The CranePOS mobile app turns your phone or tablet into a full POS terminal. Perfect for market stalls, delivery, pop-up shops, or any situation where a counter-top setup isn't practical.
Like the desktop app, it's offline-first. Sell anywhere, with or without internet. The moment you're back online, everything syncs seamlessly - no manual steps, no lost sales.
The desktop and mobile apps store your data locally so you're never dependent on the internet to run your business.
CranePOS detects the lost connection and switches to local mode instantly. You see no interruption - the POS keeps working exactly as normal.
Every sale, stock change, and customer transaction is saved locally on your device. Nothing is lost, nothing is queued up to fail.
The moment connectivity returns, CranePOS syncs all offline transactions to the cloud in the background. Your data is always complete and consistent.
