Why we created Tamias: A new kind of POS for medium, small and custom business owners

Picture this: It’s another busy morning at your small business. Orders are flowing in, customers are queuing, and your team is working at full speed. But instead of smoothly serving customers, you’re wrestling with a clunky POS system that seems determined to complicate every transaction. 

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Small business owners’ daily struggles with awkward POS systems, and an exploding global POS market projected to reach $110.22 billion by 2032, inspired us to ask: What if we could create something better?

The evolution of POS systems: A tale of frustration and hope

When one size doesn’t fit all

Remember when POS systems were simply glorified cash registers? Those days are gone, yet the evolution hasn’t necessarily made things easier for small business owners. While the retail sector commands 30% of the POS market, many small business owners find themselves caught in an impossible situation. 

Due to an absence of POS options tailored to their needs, small business owners are forced to choose between overwhelming enterprise systems built for corporate giants or oversimplified cash apps that lack essential features. It’s like having to choose between a private jet or a children’s bicycle to get you to work every morning.

The digital revolution: More than just keeping up

The surge in contactless payments wasn’t just a trend – it was a revolution that transformed the entire retail landscape. Today’s customers expect seamless payment experiences across multiple channels, from traditional card payments to mobile wallets and contactless options. 

This shift has created new challenges for small business owners, who need to balance customer expectations with operational efficiency. We saw this challenge as an opportunity to reimagine what a POS system could be – not just a payment processor, but a complete business management solution.

The Tamias difference: Crafting a solution that makes sense

When simplicity meets power: A delicate balance

Our retail solution emerged from countless conversations with business owners sharing their daily struggles. We learned that what they needed wasn’t just another POS system, but a comprehensive business partner. 

Our intelligent inventory tracking system works proactively, monitoring stock levels and automatically alerting you before items run low, eliminating the stress of unexpected stockouts. The integrated loyalty program transforms casual shoppers into devoted customers by offering personalized experiences and rewards that keep them coming back.

Our advanced analytics platform goes beyond simple sales reports, providing actionable insights that help you and your team make informed decisions about your business’s future. We’ve got your back as you put in the work to ensure that your business thrives for years to come.

We’ve designed the multi-channel management system to make selling across various platforms feel as natural as managing a single store, while our employee management tools streamline scheduling, time tracking, and performance monitoring into one intuitive interface.

Now you can run your entire business from anywhere in the world – yes, even from that beach vacation you’ve been putting off for too long. Whether you’re managing one location or twenty, real-time updates keep your entire team in perfect sync, sharing information instantly across all channels.
