Be ZATCA Phase 2 compliant before Wave 24. Cloud and offline POS, FATOORA-integrated, multi-branch, kitchen display and loyalty.
The Problem
ZATCA Wave 24 deadline: 30 June 2026, If your VAT-subject revenue exceeded SAR 375,000 in 2022, 2023 or 2024, you fall under Wave 24. ZATCA will notify you to integrate by 30 June 2026, and fines start at SAR 1,000 per non-compliant invoice.
Internet drops = sales lost, Cloud-only POS systems freeze the moment connectivity drops. In countries with patchy mobile data, that's revenue evaporating.
Multi-branch chaos, Pricing changes don't sync. Stock counts mismatch. Promotions never run consistently. End-of-day reconciliation is a nightmare.
POS / accounting / inventory silos, Sales data re-keyed into accounting. Stock movements logged twice. Loyalty points exist but never tied back to repeat purchase.
The Solution
Futuristic POS is a ZATCA Phase 2 certified, offline-first cloud POS for the GCC. Every receipt is a compliant e-invoice with QR and cryptographic stamp. Multi-branch live with central pricing and inventory. Restaurant-grade KOT/KDS, customer loyalty, integrated accounting, real-time dashboards.
How Futuristic General POS Works (Step by Step)
Open shift, Cashier signs in with PIN/biometric, declares opening cash, system logs shift start.
Take order, Touch UI, barcode scan, hot-keys. Modifiers, combos, splits, holds, training mode.
Payment & ZATCA invoice, Cash, Mada, Apple Pay, STC Pay, Tabby, Tamara. ZATCA Phase 2-signed invoice with QR + UUID + previous-invoice hash submitted to FATOORA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ZATCA Phase 2?
Phase 2 (also called the Integration Phase) requires VAT-registered Saudi businesses to integrate their POS / accounting system with ZATCA's FATOORA platform. Every invoice must be cryptographically signed, carry a QR code, embed the previous-invoice hash, and be submitted to ZATCA in real time (clearance for B2B, reporting within 24 hours for B2C).
When is the ZATCA Phase 2 Wave 24 deadline?
30 June 2026. Wave 24 covers all taxpayers whose VAT-subject revenue exceeded SAR 375,000 in 2022, 2023 or 2024. ZATCA will notify each business directly. After the deadline, non-compliant invoices incur fines starting at SAR 1,000 per invoice.
Is your POS officially listed in the ZATCA Solution Providers Directory?
Yes. Approved Solution Provider on ZATCA's FATOORA platform, every invoice is cryptographically signed, QR-coded and submitted in real time.
Will the POS work if my internet drops?
Yes. Offline-first architecture: sales continue uninterrupted, queued e-invoices submit to FATOORA the moment connectivity returns, within ZATCA's 24-hour reporting window.
How much does a ZATCA-compliant POS cost?
Our POS starts at a per-terminal monthly subscription with no setup fee, far less than the SAR 1,000 minimum fine per non-compliant invoice. Multi-branch, multi-vertical and enterprise tiers available; contact us for a quote on your specific footprint.
Can I run a coffee shop and a fashion store on the same backend?
Yes. Multi-vertical, multi-branch from one tenant with separate menus, taxes, KDS routing, loyalty programs and reports, but unified accounting and VAT reporting.
Does it integrate with Talabat, HungerStation, Jahez and Deliveroo?
Yes. Native API integration, orders flow directly to the kitchen display without re-keying, inventory deducts automatically, and ZATCA-compliant invoices are issued for each order.
What hardware do you support?
Epson, Bixolon, Star thermal printers; Honeywell, Zebra, Datalogic scanners; Mada, Geidea, Telr, Network International, ingenico card terminals; cash drawers, scales, customer-facing displays. We're hardware-agnostic, bring your own or buy from us.
How long does the implementation take?
A single-branch retailer or restaurant typically goes live in 5–10 business days. Multi-branch chains and complex menus take 2–6 weeks. ZATCA certification onboarding is included.
What happens if ZATCA rejects an invoice?
Rare in practice, our pre-validation engine catches 99% of issues before submission. If FATOORA rejects (e.g. invalid VAT number on customer side), the POS flags it immediately, lets the cashier correct and resubmit before the customer leaves.
