Mrkt is Illuminate's hardware-agnostic point-of-sale product. Core positioning: the full Illuminate platform at every terminal - not a POS with simplified bolt-ons. Every Mrkt transaction is a Flow sales order. Lyst provides the product catalogue (full PIM with variant hierarchies, multi-currency rate cards, promotions engine - not a flat product list). Depot provides live warehouse inventory (real-time consumption across every channel simultaneously - not a separate stock count). Ryse provides the full CRM at the terminal (multiple contacts per account, omni-channel inbox, service tickets, contracted pricing, real-time credit limit enforcement - not a contact list). Cargo provides delivery visibility from the till. Hardware agnostic: any compatible tablet or phone, Mrkt app installed, QR code scanned - terminal is operational. QR code carries terminal configuration, outlet context, and authentication. Device holds no persistent credentials. Zero transaction fees: business connects own payment gateway (Stripe, Checkout.com, any supported provider), pays gateway rate, Mrkt charges zero on top. Pricing: $90/outlet/month (1 register, 1,000 products via Lyst, 5,000 Flow orders per terminal per month, full platform stack included). Additional register: $40/month. A business doing $20,000/month in card sales pays $90/month on Mrkt vs $580/month on Square - $5,880/year difference. Selling environments: cafe and quick service (high-speed, one-touch reorder for regulars), retail (full Lyst catalogue, live Depot inventory, multi-currency), van sales (full offline capability, customer account history on device, contracted pricing automatic), B2B outside sales (full Ryse account context, on-account selling, contracted pricing), pop-ups and events (any device, offline capable), trade counters (on-account credit sales, credit limit enforcement). One-touch reorder: customer identified, last order visible, one tap rebuilds the basket - eliminates product selection for repeat customers. True omni-channel: terminal handles collection for orders placed anywhere - Kart, WhatsApp/Instagram via Ryse inbox, Uber Eats/Deliveroo, B2B portal, or phone. Offline operation: transactions queued locally, sync on reconnection, float sessions continue through connectivity loss. On-account B2B selling: real-time Ryse credit limit validation, creates Flow order with deferred status and Ryse accounts receivable invoice. Multi-currency: per-terminal default and accepted currencies, explicit Lyst pricing per currency (not converted at till). Integration layer: facial detection, BLE proximity identification, IoT sensors (scales, smart storage, electronic shelf labels).

Trusted By

Not a register with add-ons. A complete business system at every till.

Most POS vendors built a register and extended outward - a basic contact list, a simple stock count, a flat product table. Good enough for simple selling, but the moment a business grows it starts running into walls.

Mrkt is built differently. Every terminal has access to your full product catalogue with multi-currency pricing, live inventory that updates the moment a sale happens, complete customer history and account context, and a managed order record for every transaction. The same capabilities your back office relies on - available at the point of sale, on whatever device you're holding.

Powered by the Illuminate platform - CRM, order management, inventory, and product catalogue - all connected, all live, no sync required.

Mrkt platform depth

Your full business at every terminal — not a stripped-back version.

The capabilities most businesses keep in their back office are available at the point of sale, on whatever device the salesperson is holding.

Product catalogue

Every product, every variant, every active promotion - live at the terminal. Pricing per customer group and per currency, set once and applied everywhere. A price change updates at every till on the next transaction.

Order management

Every sale creates a managed order record with a full lifecycle - not just a receipt. The terminal has access to pending orders from any channel, click-and-collect queues, and quotes ready to convert.

Live inventory

Stock updates the moment a sale completes - across every channel simultaneously. The cashier always sees the real available quantity, not a number from last night's sync.

Customer account context

Full account history, open service tickets, contracted pricing, and credit position - at the terminal the moment a customer is identified. Multiple contacts per account, any of whom can pull the full account picture.

One-touch reorder

Repeat customers served in seconds — no searching, no rebuilding.

Most POS systems only see what happened at the till. Mrkt keeps a full order history across every channel a customer buys from. When a customer is identified at the terminal, their last order appears. One tap rebuilds the basket - all items, all quantities, ready to adjust and confirm.

  • Cafe regular walks in - last order appears, basket built, no product search required
  • Van sales stop - last replenishment visible, quantities adjusted in seconds
  • Trade account visit - full purchase history at hand, reorder confirmed on the spot
  • Works across all channels - not just in-store transactions, the full order history wherever they bought

QR code activation

Set up a new till in minutes — any tablet, no hardware contracts.

Every major POS competitor sells hardware as part of the product model. Proprietary terminals, mandatory card readers, device contracts. Mrkt does not. Buy any compatible tablet or phone from any store, install the Mrkt app, and scan the QR code generated for that terminal. It is ready to transact.

QR carries everything

The QR code carries the terminal configuration, outlet context, product catalogue, and authentication credentials. Nothing is configured on the device itself.

No persistent credentials

The device holds nothing persistently. A lost device is a hardware loss, not a security incident. Decommission it in admin, replace with any compatible device, scan the code.

Right-size per environment

Phone and Bluetooth card reader for van sales. Tablet and printer for cafe. Fixed iPad with scanner and cash drawer for trade counter. All running the same Mrkt software.

Standard peripherals

Card readers, receipt printers, barcode scanners, and cash drawers from a wide range of standard hardware devices - no vendor-certified peripherals required.

Omni-channel at the till

  • Orders placed via WhatsApp, Instagram, or other social channels - collected at the counter
  • Third-party delivery platform orders from Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and others
  • Order at the till, deliver to the door - sale captured at the counter, dispatch handled automatically

Connect your own payment gateway - Stripe, Checkout.com, or any supported provider. Pay that gateway's standard rate. Mrkt charges nothing on top. A business doing $20,000/month in card sales pays $90/month on Mrkt versus $580/month on Square. That is $5,880 per year - before hardware savings and without the platform depth Mrkt includes.

FAQ

Common questions about Mrkt.

What does zero transaction fees actually mean?

Mrkt charges nothing on top of your payment gateway. You connect your own gateway - Stripe, Checkout.com, or any supported provider - and pay that gateway's published rate. Mrkt's flat monthly fee per outlet is the complete Mrkt cost. Square charges 2.6% per swipe. Toast requires a mandatory processor. Clover charges 2.3-2.6%. For a business processing $20,000/month in card payments, that difference adds up to $5,880 per year versus Square alone - before any hardware or add-on costs.

Can Mrkt run on any tablet or phone?

Yes. Mrkt is hardware-agnostic. Buy any compatible tablet or phone, install the Mrkt app, and scan the QR code generated for that terminal configuration. The QR code carries the terminal's outlet context, product catalogue scope, currency settings, accepted tenders, and authentication credentials. Nothing is configured on the device. A lost or broken device is decommissioned in the admin in seconds. Replace it with any compatible device from any store, scan the new QR code, operational.

How is Mrkt different from Square or Shopify POS?

Square and Shopify POS bolt simplified tools around their transaction layer - a basic contact list, a stock count, a flat product table. They are good enough for simple selling. Mrkt is backed by the full Illuminate platform. The CRM at the terminal is not a contact list - it includes full account history, contracted pricing, credit terms, and open service tickets. The inventory is not a stock count - it is live warehouse data consumed the moment a sale happens, across every channel simultaneously. The product catalogue supports full variant hierarchies, multi-currency pricing per customer group, and a promotions engine. Every transaction creates a full managed order record, not just a receipt. These are not POS add-ons built to fill a gap - they are the same capabilities the rest of the business runs on.

Does Mrkt work for van sales and mobile selling?

Yes. Mrkt runs on any phone or tablet, operates fully offline, and gives the field rep full access to customer account history, contracted pricing, and one-touch reorder from their last purchase. On-account selling is available in the field with real-time credit limit validation. A van driver serving a route of wholesale accounts pulls up each account, sees the last order, adjusts quantities if needed, and confirms the replenishment. The order syncs automatically the moment connectivity is restored - no back-office entry required.

Can Mrkt handle B2B trade accounts with contracted pricing?

Yes. When a B2B customer is identified at the terminal - by searching, scanning, or facial detection - their full account loads automatically. This applies their specific contracted pricing, shows their available credit limit and outstanding balance, and surfaces their order history for one-touch reorder. B2B accounts support multiple contacts - the buyer, the finance contact, the warehouse manager - any of whom can be identified to pull the full account. On-account sales are recorded against the account with deferred payment status and an invoice raised automatically.

What happens when there is no internet connection?

Mrkt operates fully offline. Transactions are processed and queued locally on the device and sync automatically when connectivity is restored. Inventory uses the last synced stock data when offline. Cash sessions continue uninterrupted and reconciliation covers all transactions from the full session. Offline is a primary design requirement - not a contingency. Van sales routes, outdoor events, and remote trade counters rely on it as a standard operating mode.

Can the terminal collect orders placed through other channels?

Yes. Because Mrkt is connected to your full order management system, the terminal handles collection for orders placed anywhere - your online store, WhatsApp or Instagram, third-party delivery platforms like Uber Eats or Deliveroo, or orders placed by phone. The cashier sees the order in the queue at the terminal, confirms the items, and completes the handover. The terminal can also take an order at the till for home delivery - the sale is captured, the delivery address recorded, and dispatch is arranged automatically.

How does multi-currency work at the terminal?

Each terminal is configured with a default currency and a list of accepted transaction currencies. The cashier selects the currency at checkout. Prices are set explicitly per currency in your product catalogue - not converted at the till using a live exchange rate. A tourist-facing outlet sets fixed AED, GBP, and EUR prices; the cashier selects the customer's currency and the correct price applies. Cash reconciliation handles each currency and payment type separately, so end-of-shift counts remain clean across every currency the terminal accepted.

Everything your business needs, ready from day one.

Mrkt is part of the Illuminate platform - so your product catalogue, inventory, orders, and customer records are all in sync, in real time. A price change applies at every terminal instantly. A customer's contracted pricing is applied the moment they are identified. In-store and online stock come from the same pool. No sync, no lag, no manual reconciliation.
