KADE
One PC holds the whole shop
Everything lives on the PC you sell from, so it keeps working with no internet connection.
How it works · No server
No server. No subscription. Every PC is the whole shop.
Kade runs on the PCs you already have. They keep each other up to date over your shop network, with or without the internet.
90-day free trial · Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi
- Sells with the internet down
- Pay once, no monthly fee
- Up to 10 PCs included
HW-001 · The shop network
How your PCs stay in sync
Six moments in a shop's day, on one screen. It plays by itself; pick any step to jump to it.
Step 1 of 6
Add a PC and pair it
Pair a new PC with a one-time code. PCs find each other on the shop network.
Every sale becomes a signed record
Each sale or change becomes a signed record, shown here as a receipt chip like R-A26-000123, and it travels to the other PCs.
The internet goes down and the shop keeps selling
The shop network keeps every till in sync without the internet. A PC that is switched off just waits its turn.
A PC that was off catches up
A PC that was switched off catches up with the records it missed. Every PC ends with identical books.
A safety net of automatic backups
Encrypted, verified backups are made automatically.
HW-002 · Side by side
Compared with a cloud POS
Your shop runs on your PCs, your data stays on your PCs, and you pay for it once.
| Question | Kade | Typical cloud POS |
|---|---|---|
| Needs internet to sell | No — sells offline | Usually yes |
| Monthly fee | None — pay once | Monthly |
| Where your data lives | On your PCs | On the provider's servers |
| If the provider shuts down | Keeps working | Depends on the provider |
| PCs included | Up to 10 included | Often per device |
HW-003 · More than one shop
Across branches
Kade syncs over the shop network by default. If you run more than one location, you can turn on syncing over the internet in Administration. It is optional, and traffic between your PCs is end-to-end encrypted.
Sync between branches
Administration › Sync · Off (the default)
Optional · off until you turn it on · end-to-end encrypted
HW-004 · Kept safe
Security and records
01
Signed, tamper-evident records
Every change is recorded as a signed record, so any later alteration can be detected.
02
Per-PC document numbers
Each PC has its own code in the document numbers it issues, so two PCs never issue the same number.
03
Roles and permissions
Owner, Manager and Cashier roles decide who can sell, discount, void or see the numbers.
04
An audit log nobody can edit
Sign-ins, voids, discounts and price changes are logged. Not even the owner can delete entries.
05
Encrypted, verified backups
Backups are integrity-checked, compressed and encrypted with your backup password.
06
Your data is never locked
After the 90-day trial, Kade becomes read-only until you buy: you can still view, report, export and back up.
