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.

HW-001 · The shop network

Scroll through six moments in a shop's day.

  1. One PC holds the whole shop

    Everything lives on the PC you sell from, so it keeps working with no internet connection.

  2. Add a PC and pair it

    Pair a new PC with a one-time code. PCs find each other on the shop network.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

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.

HW-004 · Kept safe

Security and records

Signed, tamper-evident records

Every change is recorded as a signed record, so any later alteration can be detected.

Per-PC document numbers

Each PC has its own code in the document numbers it issues, so two PCs never issue the same number.

Roles and permissions

Owner, Manager and Cashier roles decide who can sell, discount, void or see the numbers.

An audit log nobody can edit

Sign-ins, voids, discounts and price changes are logged. Not even the owner can delete entries.

Encrypted, verified backups

Backups are integrity-checked, compressed and encrypted with your backup password.

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.
