Deftara POS · For repair shops

In build

Sell the case, book in the repair, balance the till.

Sell accessories at the counter, book a repair in with its IMEI and condition, track it to pickup and keep your stock right, all in the browser. We’re building it now to replace Lightspeed at an Australian phone repair shop. It isn’t ready for other shops yet, so join the waitlist and we’ll tell you when it is.

Example: the counter on your screen with a sale and the repair board, and on your customer’s phone, a text asking them to approve a $119 battery replacement
Example data Your counter, and the text your customer approves from. Deftara POS is in build.

Who it’s for

For shops that fix as much as they sell.

Phone and device repair shops with a counter, a repair bench and stock to track, in one store or several. If you mostly sell and rarely repair, a general retail POS will do.

  • Repair shops moving off Lightspeed or Vend
  • Counters selling accessories alongside repairs
  • Techs who log the parts used on each job
  • Owners running more than one store

What it does

The counter, the bench and the stockroom.

FAQ

Questions about Deftara POS.

When can we use it?

Not yet. It’s still being built, with an Australian phone repair shop as its first user. Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you when it’s ready to set up for other shops.

What will it cost?

Nothing for now. We set up your own copy free and bring across your products and customers. Card fees stay with your bank, and new features or our marketing services are optional paid extras.

Is it shared software or our own system?

Your own. Each shop gets its own copy, with its own data, set up with your shop’s name and details.

Can we bring our data from Lightspeed or Vend?

Yes. We import your products, customers and past sales when you switch.

What hardware does it need?

A computer with a browser. Any receipt printer installed on that computer works, the cash drawer opens through the printer, and USB barcode scanners work at the counter.

Does it handle returns and refunds?

Yes. Returns, refunds and exchanges, with a choice of refund method and whether each item goes back into stock.

Does it connect to our EFTPOS terminal?

Not yet. You take the card payment on your existing terminal and record it in the POS. Integrated Tyro EFTPOS is coming but not live yet.

Does it work offline?

No. It needs an internet connection.
