A POS in Cambodia for SMEs is a counter system a small shop can run without an IT team: checkout, stock, staff, and reports in one place, with support in Phnom Penh. Point hub is built for that — restaurants, retail, gyms, and salons — with a free trial, then yearly plans.
TL;DR. Cambodian SMEs do not need an enterprise stack. They need a till that still sells when the internet drops, inventory that matches the shelf, and an owner who can see the day on a phone. Point hub is a local POS from Phnom Penh: web, iOS, and Android, plus a loyalty app. Try it free, then Starter $99, Standard $159, or Premium $259 per year. For a buying checklist, see how to choose a POS in Cambodia.
What is a POS for SMEs in Cambodia?
A point of sale for SMEs in Cambodia is the software (and sometimes a printer or tablet) that records each sale, updates stock, and shows the owner what happened today. It is not a full accounting suite and it is not a head-office ERP.
Most shops here still mix a calculator, a notebook, and a KHQR screen. That works until the second staff member, the second location, or the first stock fight. A POS replaces that pile with one record of the sale.
Point hub is that kind of system: built in Phnom Penh for shops that need Khmer and English support, not a generic overseas checkout with no office nearby.
What should an SME look for in a Cambodia POS?
Look for a POS that matches the counter you actually run, keeps selling offline, and has a human in Phnom Penh you can call. Ignore slogans about “AI-powered transformation” until the till is reliable.
Use this list before you pay:
- Your shop type. A café needs tables and split bills. A gym needs memberships. A salon needs services plus retail. A mart needs stock that updates on every scan. Point hub has dedicated pages for restaurants, gyms, salons, and retail.
- Offline selling. Peak hour in Phnom Penh is when the connection fails. If the POS is cloud-only, the queue stops.
- One system. Till, stock, and loyalty in the same product. A second points vendor is extra cost and extra logins.
- Owner visibility. You should see sales and get an alert if staff change a quantity after the kitchen ticket printed.
- Local support. English and Khmer, phone or Telegram, not a ticket queue in another timezone.
- A trial. If you cannot try the counter before you subscribe, you are buying a demo.
How much does a POS cost for SMEs in Cambodia?
SMEs in Cambodia usually pay three layers: software, devices, and time to train staff. Point hub is software-first: free trial, then $99, $159, or $259 per year.
| Layer | What you pay | Point hub |
| Software | Monthly cloud, yearly plan, or a one-time licence | Free trial, then Starter $99 / Standard $159 / Premium $259 per year |
| Devices | Phone, tablet, printer, drawer, or a branded all-in-one pack | Use devices you already have; add a printer if you print receipts |
| Setup | On-site install vs self-serve | Talk to the Phnom Penh team if you want help choosing a plan |
Hardware bundles in Cambodia can look cheap as a “complete set,” then lock you to one terminal. Phone-and-tablet POS keeps the device bill down if the software is solid.

Do Cambodian SMEs need cloud POS or a local server?
Most SMEs in Cambodia are better on a cloud POS with offline mode than on a shop server they have to maintain. Cloud means the owner can open reports on a phone. Offline mode means the counter still sells when the line drops, then syncs.
On-premise POS can make sense for hotels or sites with no usable internet. For a café, mart, salon, or gym in Phnom Penh, a maintained shop server is extra work you do not have staff for.
Point hub is cloud POS with offline support for key counter workflows. It is not a claim that every feature works without internet.
Which SMEs in Cambodia should use a POS?
A POS is worth it when you have more than one person taking money, or when stock and memberships matter. Restaurants, retail shops, gyms, and salons are the usual fit.
- Restaurants and cafés. Tables, QR menu, kitchen print, split bills, owner alerts on invoice issues.
- Retail and marts. Products, stock movement, low-stock awareness, multi-station sales.
- Gyms and sport centers. Memberships and check-in next to the till, so a shared plastic card is harder to abuse.
- Salons and studios. Services, retail products, and the same customer record at the chair and the counter.
If you only sell a few items a day and you are the only person at the till, a notebook can wait. The day you hire, or open a second shelf, the notebook starts to lie.
How Point hub fits SMEs
Point hub is an all-in-one POS for Cambodia SMEs: checkout, inventory, staff, reports, and a loyalty app on web, iOS, and Android. Plans start with a free trial so you can run your real counter before you pay.
What is different from a generic till:
- Built in Phnom Penh, with support in English and Khmer.
- Loyalty sits next to the POS — not a second vendor.
- Owner log alerts if there is an invoice issue, or if staff change quantity after kitchen print.
- Top Performance Award, Techo Startup Center Digital Platform Cohort 4. Kiripost covered the company’s work with Cambodian SMEs.

How should an SME get started?
Start with a trial on your real menu and your real staff, then pick Starter, Standard, or Premium from what you actually used. Do not buy the biggest plan because a demo showed every module.
- List the counter jobs you do every day (sale, refund, stock, membership).
- Open a Point hub trial and run those jobs for a few shifts.
- Confirm offline selling and a report you can read after close.
- Choose a plan from staff, stations, and item limits — not from fear of missing features.
