Dhivehi POS - Simple POS System
Dhivehi POS

A comprehensive, multilingual Point of Sale (POS) system built with PHP, MySQL, and modern web technologies. Features full support for English and Dhivehi (ދިވެހި) languages with RTL layout support.

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: a complete Point of Sale (POS) Management System. My goal was to build a tool that helps small businesses manage their sales, products, and customers easily.

I built this system using PHP and MySQL. It's designed to be simple to use but powerful enough to handle all your daily tasks. A special feature I'm very proud of is its full support for the Dhivehi (ދިވެހި) language, including a proper right-to-left (RTL) layout that looks and feels natural.

Let me show you what it can do.

A Quick Look at the System

I focused on making the design clean and easy to understand, so you can start using it right away.

The Main Sales Screen
This is where you'll spend most of your time. You can see all your products, add them to the cart, and check out customers quickly.

Full Dhivehi Language Support
I believe software should be easy for everyone to use. You can switch the entire system to Dhivehi with one click. The layout changes to right-to-left (RTL), and the Thaana font is clear and easy to read.

Your Business Dashboard
When you log in, you see a simple dashboard. It shows you a quick summary of your sales and how your business is doing.

Manage Your Products
It's simple to add new products, update stock, and organize everything into categories. You can also add pictures and manage prices.
