Point-of-sale software for retail
Save time at the till, keep a record of every transaction and optimise your stock management with a complete, scalable point-of-sale system.
A common software foundation for every trade
The MCA-Kalé and MCA-Colibri business solutions are built on a common architecture, designed to meet the essential needs of any professional activity, whatever the sector. This foundation is organised around three main families of features: ERP, CRM and CMS, which together cover operational management, customer relations and document production.
Beyond this common foundation, each solution can be enriched with additional modules, specifically developed to meet the particularities of each business sector. With over 100 modules available, MCA-Kale covers a wide range of trades and gives every practice, firm or company a tool perfectly adapted to its specific needs.
