The Story Behind Building Cloud-Based ERP & POS

Reflecting on the late 20th century, the digitization of the retail industry experienced significant advancements and growth. Comcash entered the market in 1996, offering a locally-based POS solution for US retail stores. As technology rapidly evolved in the subsequent years, Comcash CEO Richard Stack considered the perspective of transforming Comcash from on-premises to cloud-based systems, thereby creating more robust and innovative products for his clients.

In 2013, Comcash committed MobiDev to completely revamping the system, transforming it into a sophisticated cloud-based retail ERP system.

Business Value of Cloud-Based ERP & POS Development

Since 2013, MobiDev has provided comprehensive support for the entire development process of the Comcash system, ensuring its ongoing deployment and evolution. Over the years, Comcash has undergone a full modernization, transitioning into a cloud-based solution. The increasing popularity of Comcash led to its acquisition by POS Nation in October 2022. Today, Comcash boasts a presence in over 3,000 locations and seamlessly integrates with a wide range of custom hardware, including printers, scanners, scales, signature capture terminals, as well as EMV and NFC payment terminals.

Client Testimonial

Richard Stack, Co-founder at Comcash Inc.

[Together with MobiDev], we’re able to work on a 24-hour development cycle, and we release software repeatedly faster than any of our competitors, and there is no overtime. We could never create what we have with MobiDev in my office in California. The tech market is just too competitive these days. If you are interested in developing a world-class product and working with a great group of friendly co-workers every day, I wholeheartedly recommend MobiDev.
