Your Store. Your Data. Your Edge.
FlexRetail is the open, AI-powered retail platform built for independent grocers who refuse to compete on yesterday’s tech. Replace legacy POS with one connected system for checkout, payments, inventory, and back-office decisions, without ripping out the hardware you already own.
Legacy POS Wasn't Built for the Way You Run Today
Tight margins. Labor shortages. Inflation. New payment types every year. Most POS systems were built decades ago for chain stores, and it shows. They lock your data, force you onto proprietary hardware, and leave you stitching together inventory, pricing, and reporting on your own. FlexRetail is different. One open platform, every transaction, every shelf, every decision: connected and intelligent.
One Platform. Every Touchpoint. Your Data
FlexRetail unifies the systems that run your store, including POS, self-checkout, payments, inventory, scheduling, and reporting, on a single open platform with AI built in. Less software to manage. Less manual work. More margin protected.
From Front-End Transactions to Back-Office Intelligence
Simplify customer and cashier checkout with intuitive, fast front-end interfaces. Our back-office suite extracts real-time data, streamlines staff scheduling, monitors transactions, tracks sales, and surfaces AI-generated recommendations across pricing, inventory, and labor, all from one dashboard.
Always On, Always Compliant
Run uninterrupted with secure offline transactions and enterprise-grade payment data security across every solution. Open APIs keep your data portable and your platform under your control, with no walled gardens and no vendor lock-in.
Built for the Way Grocery Runs Actually Runs
Tight margins. Nonstop pace. Constant change. FlexRetail is engineered around how independent grocers actually operate, from EBT and WIC at the lane to deli counters, custom pricing, and supplier ordering on the back end.
Like Having a CFO, Merchandiser, and Scheduler in Your Back Pocket
Independent grocers don’t have entire analytics teams. With FlexRetail, you don’t need them. Flex Insights uses AI to:
- Spot pricing and margin drift before it eats your bottom line
- Forecast demand and recommend reorders so shelves stay full and waste stays low
- Flag labor inefficiencies and suggest schedules that match real foot traffic
- Surface basket trends and shopper patterns that turn data into category decisions
Every transaction at the lane, every item on the shelf, every shift on the floor — feeds the same intelligence layer. The result: faster decisions, protected margins, and an operating advantage you can actually feel.
What's Inside the Platform
FlexRetail POS
A versatile checkout solution built for the modern independent grocer. Modernize your store with intuitive cashier touchscreens, customer profiles, custom pricing, and rewards programs. FlexRetail POS accepts every form of payment your shoppers use, including EBT, WIC, Venmo, WeChat Pay, Alipay, contactless, credit, and debit, and feeds every transaction back into the platform for unified reporting and AI analysis.
Self-Checkout System
Give customers a seamless experience while expanding throughput. Run cashier-assisted and self-service checkout side by side, with full support for credit, debit, contactless, and WIC payments, so every shopper, regardless of payment type, gets the same fast, modern experience. Works with FlexRetail hardware or integrates with self-checkout hardware you already own.
POS Hardware
Cost-efficient hardware. No compromise on performance. Rugged, durable POS hardware engineered for cashiering and self-checkout. Save on hardware costs without sacrificing reliability, and bring your own hardware where it makes sense. FlexRetail is platform-first, not hardware-locked.
Flex Insights — AI-Powered Reporting
Turn store operations into actionable intelligence. Built on the Flex Pro backend, Flex Insights uses AI to surface trends, flag anomalies, and recommend actions across pricing, inventory, and labor, so you spend less time pulling reports and more time running the store.
Connected from Supplier to Shopper
FlexRetail connects ordering, receiving, shelf, and lane data across your supply chain. Cleaner data in means better margins out, and gives you the visibility chains have without the chain-store overhead.
