What We Do

Desktop engineering where failure is not an option.

When business operations happen at billing counters, hotel front desks, industrial warehouses, or offline medical clinics, browser applications fall short. Connectivity drops, browser tabs crash, and local hardware like thermal receipt printers and barcode scanners are notoriously difficult to control.

We build production desktop applications with Tauri and Electron. Our own flagship product, POSflow RestaurantOS, ships as a hardened Tauri desktop app operating in busy commercial kitchens and restaurant counters. We bring that battle-tested hardware integration, memory optimization, and code-signed auto-updating to your custom software build.

Key Challenges We Solve

Where typical desktop software fails.

Bloated Installers & RAM

Legacy Electron apps dumping 150MB+ Chromium browsers into user machines, consuming 500MB+ RAM and stalling older counter PCs.

Internet Dependency

Web-based systems that freeze or crash when ISP connections drop, halting billing, checkouts, and physical operations.

Peripheral Disconnects

Flaky browser print dialogs, unformatted thermal receipts, and inability to read raw serial barcode scanners or cash drawers.

OS Security Warnings

Unsigned binaries triggering frightening Windows SmartScreen warnings and macOS Gatekeeper rejections that destroy customer trust.

Why POSflow

We build and ship real desktop products every day.

POSflow RestaurantOS is a production Tauri application deployed to restaurant front-desks and billing counters. It runs all day, processes thousands of orders completely offline in local SQLite, connects to ESC/POS thermal printers via serial/USB, and auto-syncs with the cloud.

Tauri Production Experience

We don't just read the docs. We operate live production Tauri applications with Rust backends and SQLite caching under high transactional counter loads.

02

Sub-10MB Featherweight Binaries

Tauri leverages the OS-native webview (WebView2 / WebKit). Installers download in seconds and boot almost instantaneously.

03

Direct Hardware Driver Bridges

Native communication with USB and Serial (RS-232) thermal printers, barcode scanners, cash drawers, customer pole displays, and scales.

04

Hardened SQLite Offline Engine

Local database persistence using Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) ensures zero data loss during network outages with silent background cloud synchronization.

05

Code Signing & Auto-Updates

Complete Windows Authenticode signing, macOS Apple Notarization, and cryptographic auto-update pipelines that patch user systems silently.

06

Full IP & Source Ownership

Clean Rust and TypeScript source code delivered directly to your company repository. Zero per-seat licensing fees or proprietary vendor ties.

What We Build

Desktop software engineered for mission-critical operations.

Point-of-Sale (POS) & Billing

Rapid barcode scanning, instant billing calculation, offline transaction buffering, and high-speed ESC/POS receipt generation.

Hardware Terminals & Kiosks

Locked-down kiosk interfaces, digital queue number displays, thermal kitchen ticket printers, and customer-facing pole screens.

Offline Warehouse & Inventory

Heavy stocktaking applications, SKU barcode generation, shipment manifests, and warehouse pallet tracking with local data caching.

Desktop Utilities & Daemons

System tray background agents, local file synchronization engines, secure desktop backup tools, and VPN/proxy desktop clients.

Electron to Tauri Migrations

Rebuilding bloated Electron applications in Tauri to slash installer size from 150MB down to 8MB and reduce memory footprint by 80%.

Enterprise Licensing & Vaults

Hardware-locked machine licensing, cryptographic key vaults, biometric login bridges, and compliance auditing workstations.

Audio & Media Workstations

High-throughput audio recording tools, video encoding utilities, image batch processors, and local format conversion desktop suites.

Clinical & Lab Terminals

Offline patient record workstations, medical imaging viewers, laboratory diagnostic tool interfaces, and DICOM peripheral integration.

Platforms & Frameworks

Tauri and Electron. Two distinct engineering pathways.

We evaluate your native dependencies, hardware requirements, and target workstation specs to recommend the ideal desktop architecture.

Tauri (Rust Core)Recommended for New Builds

Next-generation desktop architecture combining a native OS webview frontend with a blazing-fast, memory-safe Rust backend. Installers under 10 MB with minimal RAM consumption.

Choose it when:

You require small installer sizes, sub-50MB RAM usage, deep Rust system-level security, instant boot times, or serial hardware integrations on standard business PCs.

Architectural Trade-off:

Native backend logic is written in Rust, requiring specialized systems programming rigor rather than standard Node.js scripts.

Core Stack:
Tauri 2.0RustReact / Next.jsSQLite (rusqlite)TypeScriptWry / TaoGitHub Actions
Electron (Node.js)Modernization & Node Ecosystem

Battle-tested desktop framework bundling Chromium and Node.js. Guaranteed 100% identical browser rendering across legacy operating systems and deep compatibility with npm native C++ addons.

Choose it when:

Your software depends on complex Node.js C++ addons with no Rust counterpart, you are maintaining an existing large Electron codebase, or targeting older legacy machines.

Architectural Trade-off:

Heavy ~120MB+ installer footprint and 300MB+ base memory overhead due to bundled Chromium browser binaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our desktop engineering.

Electron bundles an entire Chromium web browser and Node.js runtime into every build, producing 120MB+ installers and consuming 400MB+ of RAM at idle. Tauri leverages the operating system's native webview (WebView2 on Windows, WebKit on macOS) coupled with a secure Rust core. This produces installers under 10 MB with startup times under 500ms and memory usage below 40 MB. For business-critical counters and workstations, Tauri is vastly superior.
