Computronium LLC — Retail Systems

We build the software
your stores run on.

Point of sale and back office for convenience stores, fuel retail, and independent chains — designed as one system. And when it has to fit the equipment already at your counter, our engineers come to the store and make it fit.

What we do

A software company that still shows up in person.

Most retail software is sold as a login and a PDF. That works until the price book has fourteen years of drift in it, the numbers stop agreeing between two stores, and nobody left at the vendor knows why. We write the software, and we do the part after the software.

Product engineering

Anvil, our POS and back-office platform: register, catalog, fuel, inventory, and money, built as one system instead of five that sync overnight.

Integration services

On-site surveys, systems integration, data migration, and custom development against whatever your stores are already committed to.

Operations support

Monitoring on the store connection, alerts while the store is still open, and a support desk staffed by the people who wrote the code.

The platform

Anvil

One system from the register to the ledger. The counter keeps selling when the internet drops, and the office sees the day as it happens instead of the morning after.

A register the clerk can learn in a shift

Fast lookup, weighted and linked items, age verification, fuel prepay and postpay, EBT and WIC tender splits. It runs locally, so a dropped connection is a sync delay, not a closed store.

  • Offline-first: sells through outages and reconciles on reconnect
  • Fuel prepay and postpay reconciliation, with drive-off logging
  • ID scanning with per-category age and quantity rules
  • Every void, refund, and no-sale attributed to a cashier

Change a price once, everywhere

Edit one item or a whole department, then push the batch to every register and watch each one report back as it takes the change. If a register turns a batch down, the batch retries itself and somebody is told while the store is still open.

  • Bulk edits by department, vendor, tax group, or margin target
  • Full change history: who changed what, when, and from where
  • Fuel grades in cash and credit, with competitor survey logging
  • Push a store's catalog to the rest of the group in one action

The money side, closed out nightly

Till sessions against counted cash, drops and payouts, vendor invoices captured and posted, lottery settled against tickets that actually sold. The day closes on its own, and the exceptions are the only thing anyone has to look at.

  • Shift-level over/short with the transactions behind every variance
  • Vendor invoices matched to receipts and posted to your ledger
  • Scratch and online lottery by book, slot, and settlement date
  • Exports your accountant already knows how to open

Modules

The rest of the day, handled.

Inventory

Stock by barcode with counts, adjustments, and the movement history behind every number. Reorder points that account for how the item actually sells.

Invoices

Distributor invoices are captured once, matched against what actually arrived, and queue the cost changes they imply.

Lottery

Scan a book in, assign it a display slot, and settle the day against the tickets that actually sold. Low-ticket alerts before the slot goes empty.

Time clock

Punches that only register inside an approved location, with breaks, overtime, and a report that reads back every hour claimed.

Reporting

Daily sales, margin by department, shrink, fuel volume and CPG, and any report you need cut the way your accountant asks for it.

Multi-store

Run four stores or forty from one console: shared catalog, per-store overrides, and a group-level view that rolls up without a spreadsheet.

Professional services

Our engineers come to the store.

Software is the easy half. The hard half is the twenty-year-old price book, the back-office PC under the desk, and the clerk who has run the same eight keys since 2011. We take that half too — as a scoped engagement with a named engineer, not a ticket queue.

Site survey & discovery

We walk the store. What you run today, where the data lives, how the network is laid out, and how the staff actually work — written up as a findings document before anyone quotes a number.

Systems integration

We map what your stores run today onto one data model, then build and maintain the connections that keep the catalog, the day's sales, and the money in step.

Data migration

Price books, vendor catalogs, customer accounts, and years of sales history moved over and reconciled item by item, with a diff you can sign off on.

Custom development

A loyalty rule your group runs on, a report your lender requires, a feed to a jobber or an ERP. We build it against the platform and maintain it.

Installation & training

We cut over on site, usually overnight, and stay through the first shifts. Every clerk gets trained on the register they will actually stand at.

Managed support

We watch the link to every store. When a sync fails or a lane goes dark you hear it from us first, with the log already pulled.

01

Survey

A day in the store. We document the hardware, the data, and the workflow, then write it down.

02

Scope

A fixed statement of work: what gets built, what gets migrated, who does it, and what it costs.

03

Pilot

One store goes live first and runs a full cycle — a week of real shifts, real invoices, a real close.

04

Rollout

The rest of the group, store by store, on a schedule that never leaves two registers disagreeing.

05

Support

Monitoring, updates, and an engineer who already knows your install when you call.

Company

Computronium LLC

We are a software company working on one problem: the systems that independent retail runs on are old, disconnected, and sold by companies that have stopped shipping. We build the replacement, and we do the unglamorous work of getting it installed.

One system
Register, catalog, inventory, and finance share a data model — not a nightly export.
On site
Surveys, cutovers, and training happen in your store, with the engineer who wrote the integration.
Your data
Exportable in full, in open formats, at any time. No lock-in on the way out.
Direct line
Support routes to engineers. There is no tier one reading you a script.

No contracts on Core and Complete. Site surveys, migration, and installation are quoted per engagement after the survey.

Questions we get asked

Do we have to replace our current POS?
Anvil runs as a full point of sale, and the site survey is where we work out what that means for your stores — what moves over, in what order, and what stays as it is for now. We will say so plainly if replacing everything at once is the wrong call for you.
What does the on-site engagement actually involve?
An engineer spends a day in your store documenting what you run, where the data lives, the network, and the back office, plus how your staff work. You get a written findings document and a fixed statement of work. Nothing is quoted before the survey, because nobody can quote that honestly from a phone call.
What happens when the internet goes down?
The register keeps selling. It runs locally and holds the day on the counter, then reconciles with the office the moment the connection comes back. An outage costs you a sync delay, never a closed store or a lost shift.
How long does a cutover take?
A single store with a clean price book is typically an overnight cutover with an engineer on site through the first two shifts. Groups roll out store by store on a schedule. Data migration, not installation, is almost always the long pole, which is why we start it during the scope phase.
Can we get our data back out?
Yes, in full, in open formats, whenever you ask. Your sales history, price book, and invoices are yours. We do not hold data hostage as a retention strategy.
Do you build custom features?
Regularly. Most of what ships in the platform started as something a single operator needed. Custom work is scoped like any other engagement, and if it generalizes we will tell you — those usually end up costing you less because they become part of the product.
