By Gloria Mathias

Zoho Corporation has announced the launch of a new brand in India, Zakya. The Zakya brand offers a modern POS solution for retail stores to streamline their day-to-day operations and easily monitor them from one place.

Zakya’s cloud-based POS solution is easy to implement and user-friendly, helping small and medium-sized retailers go live and start billing in under an hour.

“As consumers turn to online shopping, there is an increasing demand for digital solutions among retailers who want to stay competitive. However, the current solutions on the market either lack the necessary features to support retailers in their day-to-day operations or are legacy software that is complex, rigid and has a steep learning curve. Zakya bridges this gap by offering an easy-to-use solution that can be deployed quickly, lowering the barrier to technology adoption for small businesses,” said Jayagopal Theranikal, Chief Evangelist, Zakya.

Zakya offers businesses an end-to-end, modern POS setup that includes:

• POS billing application: The native billing app is available for Windows, iOS, and Android.
• Indian languages support: Zakya supports 10 Indian languages, such as Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Urdu, Malayalam, Kannada, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, and Gujarati, apart from English.
• Mobile store: Zakya enables businesses to launch a custom mobile app that allows their customers to browse and make purchases on their smartphones, and have the items delivered at home.
• All-in-one admin console: With Zakya’s web application, businesses can manage all their back-office operations, such as inventory management, customer details, transaction information, and vendor data, in one place.
• Business intelligence (BI) and data-driven insights: Businesses can gain real-time insights to enhance their store performance with the help of powerful reports for each operation, such as inventory, sales, purchases, and more.
• Third-party integrations: Zakya comes pre-integrated with payment partners, including Pine Labs, Razorpay, and PhonePe, to provide convenience to customers and store owners.

As the retail sector expands, the digital needs of this segment will grow as well, specifically for SMBs. Zakya has been curated to address the needs of this segment and empower these businesses to evolve with the landscape.
