Orchard is Singapore's best-known shopping belt, lined with malls and flagship stores serving residents and international visitors. Card, contactless and PayNow payments dominate, and GST invoicing is administered by IRAS.
For a cosmetic store in Orchard, that means a POS has to serve high-footfall mall retail with fast card and PayNow checkout and IRAS-ready GST records.

What EliteTeQ gives back to your cosmetic store
Every part of EliteTeQ, described by what it does for a cosmetic store.
Reorder the heroes, not the guesses
Buy from what actually sold, record each delivery with its batch, and send faulty stock back to the supplier.
Reordering without overstocking →Offers that ring up right every time
Bundles and promotions applied the same way at checkout, and returns that go back into the right shade.
The sales reports worth running →Testers and expiry no longer a mystery
Expiring batches are flagged while they can still sell, and every tester or broken item is written off with a reason.
Selling by expiry (FEFO) →Shades moved to where they sell
Send a shade from a quiet branch to the one where customers keep asking, with both counts right.
Running several branches and stores →Discounts only with approval
Staff sell; discounts, voids and costs need a manager’s role.
Fair rules that stop till fraud →Every discount has a name on it
Each sale, discount, void and write-off is tied to a login and a time.

Confirm orders and short deliveries with suppliers on WhatsApp, and reach a real person at EliteTeQ the same way.

Received, sold, transferred, used as a tester or written off, shade by shade.
Reading stock turnover →See what a promotion really cost
Sales, purchases and expenses post as they happen, with profit by branch and category.
Accounting and ERP in one system →Your counter team in one place
Staff records, roles and sales by staff member sit next to your stock.

What POS system is best for cosmetic stores in Singapore?
The best fit in Singapore is POS software that runs your shades, expiry dates and shrinkage, not just payments. EliteTeQ tracks every shade, warns you about expiring batches, puts testers on the record, applies promotions at checkout, prices in SGD and keeps working offline. It records PayNow, card and cash against each sale and keeps sales records ready for IRAS.
Can EliteTeQ track shades and variants?
Yes. Each shade, size and finish is its own item with its own stock in every branch, with a low-stock alert before a popular shade runs out.
Does it track batches and expiry dates?
Yes. Batches and expiry dates are recorded when stock arrives, and alerts show which batch to sell first. Anything that expires is written off, so stock and profit stay true.
How do I record testers and samples?
Write them off against stock with a reason, such as tester or sample. They show in your reports, so shrinkage is visible the same day.
Can I run promotions and bundles?
Yes. Set a bundle or offer once and it is applied the same way at checkout, and reports show what it sold and what it earned.
Can customers pay with PayNow?
Yes. EliteTeQ records PayNow, card and cash against each sale, so every payment method is accounted for and reconciles at closing.
Can I control staff discounts?
Yes. Discounts and voids need a manager’s approval, and each one is logged with the login and the time.
Can I manage several branches?
Yes. Each shop has its own stock. Move shades between them with a transfer confirmed on arrival, and compare every branch side by side.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The counter keeps scanning, applying offers and taking payment when the internet or power drops, and everything syncs when the connection returns.
Can I see which brands and shades make money?
Yes. EliteTeQ records what each item cost you, so reports show sales and margin by brand, category and shade.
Is there support for cosmetic stores in Orchard?
Yes. Setup, product import, staff training and day-to-day support for businesses in Orchard are done remotely, over WhatsApp, phone and screen-share, so you talk to a real person without waiting for a visit. Prices, payments and tax records are set up for Singapore.
How much does cosmetic store POS software cost in Orchard?
EliteTeQ starts from USD 499 per year and scales with your branches, products and users. Setup and importing your product list are free.
