In 2012, the company launched its first flagship product, Kounta. The app was initially a web-based application, and later developed into an online cash register and inventory management system that allows businesses to take payments from customers via mobile devices. The app has been made available for iPad, iPhone, and Android devices; as well as iOS, Windows, and other peripherals.[30] In 2012 Kounta partnered with Epson, providing a cloud-based POS platform for Epson printers.[31] In 2013, the company formed a partnership with PayPal, integrating cashless and cardless transaction options via PayPal's mobile app.[32] In 2014, MYOB made an undisclosed investment towards Kounta. This partnership led the development of MYOB Kounta, a co-branded application merging Kounta's POS with MYOB's application software.[33] In 2016 Kounta announced a partnership with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Kounta's application was integrated into the bank's EFTPOS table, "Albert." This allowed the Commonwealth Bank of Australia to become the first bank to manage all customers operations from a single device and mobile application.[34][35] TechnologyThe Kounta POS is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) that runs as an application in web browsers as well as natively on iOS and Android operating systems. It can also run in a wide variety of peripherals including receipt printers, remote displays, and cash drawers. Through Web Cache and IndexedDB, Kounta can be used in both on and offline modes. The application allows automated inventory management, purchase ordering, customer relationship management (CRM), multiple location support, employee monitoring, recipe creation for ingredient tracking, table layouts, reporting, and analytics; as well as managing customer orders, split bills, accounting, and rostering payroll applications.[36] Kounta also incorporates an Open API, making it possible for other software providers to integrate complementary apps, further extending the software's use.[37] The company operates and maintains an online community with knowledge base articles, forums, and feature request submissions. Traditional IT tasks, such as data backup and encryption, hardware maintenance, and server upgrades are handled by Kounta's data center.[38] Kounta is made accessible via paid monthly subscription licenses.[39][40] See also
