Our Story

The MYPOS story starts with two old school friends, Jonathan Cranford and Paul Leach. Paul had successfully built a business in Worthing based around a bakery that included a restaurant and four sandwich take away shops. Jonathan had recently moved back to the UK after setting up the USA entity for WinMan ERP systems. The new company, Identivue Limited, was working at the time on some character recognition software.  
  
Over a Sunday Lunch in September 2001, Paul mentioned in passing that he was having yet more problems with the EPOS system that he had brought only eight months previously. Despite having cost nearly £4,000 at the time, the local EPOS company that had supplied the system, was unable to support the software. Jonathan offered to visit the restaurant and have a look to see if he could resolve the software problem.  
  
The following morning, the software problem was quickly resolved and the idea MYPOS was born.  
  
Over the years the software has been re-engineered from the ground up many times to keep up with the changes in technology. We still have many of our original clients from twenty plus years ago, a testament to the philosophy that the system must always work, and the support must be there when they need.  
  
We now proudly provide our systems around the world, and we specialise in integrating MYPOS Connect in with your other systems for accounts, e-commerce and management. We are well versed in working with businesses of all sizes who are brand new to direct retail or Hospitality or scaling up their estates or entering new markets.
