Overview

Lionfortech, a Birmingham, UK-based software house, partnered with a local café struggling to manage sales, inventory, and customer interactions efficiently. The café, a small business with a single owner and a small staff, needed an affordable, easy-to-use solution to streamline operations and grow their customer base. Lionfortech recommended Zobaze POS, a free, open-source Point of Sale system tailored for small to medium businesses, to transform their daily operations.

Challenge

The café owner relied on manual cash registers and paper records, which led to errors in tracking sales and inventory. During busy hours, staff struggled to manage orders and share receipts quickly, frustrating customers. The lack of real-time insights into profits and stock levels made it hard to reorder supplies or identify top-selling items. Additionally, the café wanted to offer online ordering but lacked the technical know-how and budget for complex systems.

Solution

Lionfortech introduced Zobaze POS, highlighting its user-friendly design and robust features that fit the café’s needs:

• Offline Functionality: Zobaze POS worked 100% offline, syncing data once internet was available, perfect for the café’s inconsistent Wi-Fi.
• Easy Billing & Invoicing: The app generated receipts in seconds, which staff could print via a Bluetooth thermal printer or share via WhatsApp and SMS, adding convenience for customers.
• Inventory Management: Real-time stock alerts and bulk Excel uploads helped the owner track coffee beans, pastries, and other essentials, preventing shortages.
• Staff Management: The owner set permissions for staff, allowing them to handle sales while restricting access to sensitive reports.
• Online Orders: Zobaze’s built-in website feature enabled the café to start taking online orders, expanding their reach without extra cost.
• Free Plan: The lifetime free plan with a 100-item limit suited the café’s initial needs, with the option to upgrade to a premium plan for unlimited features later.

Lionfortech guided the café owner through setup on an Android tablet, trained staff on the intuitive dashboard, and connected a thermal printer for seamless receipt printing.

Implementation

The café implemented Zobaze POS during a busy weekend. Staff used the offline POS system to handle rush-hour sales, parking orders when needed and resuming them effortlessly. The owner uploaded their inventory via Excel, setting low-stock alerts for popular items like lattes and croissants. Digital receipts with the café’s branding were shared with customers, boosting satisfaction. Within a week, the online ordering website was live, attracting new customers for takeaway orders.

Results

• Streamlined Operations: The café reduced billing errors and sped up service, with staff managing sales confidently using the simple interface.
• Better Inventory Control: Real-time alerts prevented stockouts, saving the owner from last-minute rushes to suppliers.
• Increased Sales: Online orders grew by 20% in the first month, thanks to the website feature.
• Cost-Effective: The free plan met their needs, with no hidden charges, while the owner plans to upgrade to premium for advanced reporting.
• Customer Happiness: Quick receipt sharing and a professional look improved customer feedback, with many appreciating the digital invoices.

Conclusion

Lionfortech’s implementation of Zobaze POS transformed the Birmingham café into a more efficient, customer-focused business. The app’s offline capability, easy billing, and online ordering features addressed the owner’s challenges, proving its value for small businesses. With Lionfortech’s support, the café now runs smoother, plans to expand, and enjoys the peace of mind that comes with Zobaze’s reliable, user-friendly system.

Overview

Lionfortech, a Birmingham, UK-based software house, recently collaborated with a local non-governmental organization (NGO) focused on international media and human rights advocacy. The NGO needed a secure way to access and share restricted online content in regions with heavy internet censorship, all while ensuring their team’s online safety. Lionfortech recommended Psiphon, an open-source Internet Freedom VPN, to meet these needs, leveraging its advanced security features and ability to bypass censorship.

Challenge

The NGO frequently worked with independent media and broadcasters in countries where internet access is heavily restricted, often labeled as “enemies of the Internet.” Their team faced challenges accessing blocked websites and services, which hindered their ability to gather critical information and communicate securely. Additionally, they needed a solution that ensured mobile security, especially when using public Wi-Fi during field operations, without compromising their budget or requiring complex setups.

Solution

Lionfortech introduced the NGO to Psiphon, a tool with over 150 million downloads, known for its ability to unblock websites and provide secure browsing. Psiphon’s features aligned perfectly with the NGO’s needs:

• Mobile Security: Psiphon’s proxy access and hotspot VPN protection ensured the team could browse securely, even on public networks.
• Unblock Websites: The VPN allowed access to restricted content, enabling the NGO to connect with international broadcasters and media in censored regions.
• Private Browsing: Psiphon’s secure network of constantly changing servers guaranteed private browsing, vital for the NGO’s sensitive work.
• Seamless Experience: With automatic protocol selection and support for multiple languages, Psiphon provided a smooth experience for the team.
• Cost-Effective: As an open-source tool with free unlimited personal use, Psiphon fit the NGO’s tight budget, though they opted for a subscription to remove ads and access faster speeds.

Lionfortech guided the NGO through the setup process, ensuring the app was installed on their Android and iOS devices. They also advised on best practices, like excluding local websites from the VPN tunnel to improve speed when accessing non-restricted content.

Implementation

The NGO’s team began using Psiphon during a project in a region with strict internet controls. They needed to access independent news outlets and share reports securely. Psiphon’s ability to unblock websites allowed them to retrieve critical information that was otherwise unavailable. The secure VPN protected their data on public Wi-Fi networks, ensuring their communications remained private. The ad-blocker feature, available through the subscription plan, further improved their browsing speed, making it easier to work efficiently under tight deadlines.

Results

• Improved Access: The NGO successfully accessed restricted content, enabling them to complete their project and share vital information with global partners.
• Enhanced Security: Psiphon’s mobile security features protected the team’s data, giving them peace of mind while working in high-risk areas.
• Cost Savings: The free version of Psiphon met most of their needs, and the affordable subscription provided additional benefits like faster speeds and an ad-free experience.
• User-Friendly Experience: The team appreciated Psiphon’s simple setup and reliable connection, which required no technical expertise to use.

Conclusion

By partnering with Lionfortech to implement Psiphon, the Birmingham-based NGO overcame the challenges of internet censorship and insecurity. Psiphon’s robust features empowered them to work freely and safely, proving its value as a tool for internet freedom. Lionfortech’s expertise in recommending and setting up Psiphon ensured the NGO could focus on their mission of advocating for human rights and media freedom, all while staying secure online.
