Choose a battle-tested standalone product or hire the senior studio team for custom software builds.

Fixed pricing agreed before any work begins

Flagship standalone
[ System product ]

Tajir · Souq, Sufra, Mizan

Point of sale for shops, restaurants and anything sold by weight. The database lives on the main till inside your shop, so checkout keeps running when the internet drops.

Capital model

EGP 8,000/ main till, perpetual

Sufra EGP 10,000. One-time payment, no subscription.
  • Runs on your shop’s own network: extra tills connect to the main till over LAN. No internet needed to sell.
  • Cash you can account for: every shift reconciled per method: cash, card, InstaPay, wallet.
  • Manager approval codes: for discounts, removed items and refunds, with a full audit trail.
  • Tables or a live scale: Sufra adds dine-in and kitchen tickets, Mizan reads weight off the scale.
[ Studio sprint ]

Bespoke software build

End-to-end engineered web platforms, supplier portals, and tailored internal systems built from scratch to your operational specs.

Sprint timeline

3 – 8 weeks/ scoped cycle

Senior studio partners code every commit. Zero outsourcing.
  • Built around your workflow: screens and reports shaped to how your team already works.
  • Enterprise integration: SAP, Odoo, Fawry, Paymob, and WhatsApp Business API.
  • PostgreSQL & TypeScript core: bulletproof type safety and scaling.
  • Bi-weekly production releases: test actual software, not wireframes.
[ Intelligence layer ]

Internal AI agents & ops

Custom AI pipelines that digest complex customer WhatsApp queries, PDF purchase orders, and multi-warehouse logistics reports automatically.

Integration scope

4 – 6 weeks/ deployment

Deterministic guardrails. Real operators in the approval loop.
  • Private RAG indexing: connects securely to ERP and inventory schemas.
  • Egyptian Arabic NLP: understands local dialect, voice notes, and invoices.
  • Human-in-the-loop validation: operators approve transactions before execution.
  • Zero data leakage: hosted locally or on a private cloud VPC.

Tajir, the way your cashier sees it.

Real screens from the shipping build. Checkout and delivery at the counter, the owner’s dashboard, stock, refunds and the numbers behind it.

Tajir checkout screen: product grid on the left, a filled cart with cash, card and split payment on the right.
[ 03 — Tajir editions ]

One Tajir. Three editions.

Pick the counter your business actually has. Every edition is the full Tajir, and every one is in the free demo.

  • Tajir Souq checkout: the product grid with prices and stock, and a filled cart with cash, electronic or mixed payment.
    [ Shops, groceries & minimarkets ]

    Tajir Souq

    The fast counter.

    Barcodes, cash and card, delivery orders and stock that matches the shelf. The base every Tajir edition is built on.

    • Scan barcodes and SKUs, hold up to five orders at once
    • Cash, card, InstaPay, wallet or a split payment
    • Delivery orders with customers, regions and drivers
    • Bundle offers, purchases and low-stock alerts
  • Tajir Sufra floor: sixteen tables, each available, reserved or occupied, with its running total, time seated and guest count.
    [ Restaurants, cafés & juice bars ]

    Tajir Sufra

    The dining room.

    Everything in Souq, plus the floor: every table with its open check, kitchen tickets in rounds, and checks that move between tables.

    • Floor view: available, reserved or in service, with each running total
    • Kitchen rounds: only new items go on the next ticket
    • Move a check to another table, or merge two
    • Voids stay on record, and table items are held from the counter
  • Tajir Mizan counter in Arabic: a cart of items sold by the kilo with their weights, next to the product grid.
    [ Butchers, fresh food & delis ]

    Tajir Mizan

    The scale at the counter.

    Everything in Souq, plus the scale: weight read live into the cart, so kilos are never typed in by guesswork.

    • Live weight from a serial or USB scale, straight into the cart
    • Generic ASCII and Mettler-Toledo SICS scales
    • A lock so kilos can’t be typed by hand after weighing
    • Weight barcodes from a labelling scale scan straight in
[ 04 — Comparative discipline ]

jadid. vs. legacy agencies vs. generic SaaS

Why leading operators switch to an independent engineering atelier rather than renting bloated corporate software or managing unaccountable agencies.

Standard route 01

Traditional dev agencies

  • 6-month discovery slump: endless slide decks and design files before any executable code exists.
  • The junior bait-and-switch: pitched by agency partners, then handed off to inexperienced juniors.
  • Change-order hostage: every tiny tweak triggers renegotiated statements of work and delayed deadlines.
  • Vendor captivity: tangled architecture designed to force annual retainers forever.
Standard route 02

Generic cloud SaaS

  • Perpetual monthly rent: escalating per-user licence fees that penalise you for expanding headcount.
  • Fragile connectivity: when the internet or cloud gateway slows down, your checkout halts completely.
  • Rigid workflows: you must contort your operations to match their US/EU standard template software.
  • Locked data prisons: painful export formats make moving off their platform nearly impossible.
The atelier standard

jadid. practice

  • Set up in one day: installed, configured and ready to use within a single day.
  • Senior engineers only: direct communication with the engineers writing your code.
  • Offline-first resilience: built from the ground up to survive volatile network environments.
  • Your data stays yours: it lives on your own machine, exports to Excel, and backs up to a plain .sql file.
[ 05 — Philosophy ]

Zero rewrite theatre.
Absolute software craftsmanship.

Most consultancies demand you throw away your existing database and spend two years rebuilding everything from scratch. We believe that is irresponsible.

We inspect what already works — whether it is an old SQL Server, an ERP instance, or a network of field receipts — and build fast modern interfaces, background sync workers, and intelligence layers right on top.

Frequently asked questions

Plain answers about your data, infrastructure costs, and technical delivery.

Who owns our data?

You do, entirely. It sits on your own machine, exports to Excel from every screen, and backs up to a plain .sql file whenever you like. The software itself stays ours: you get a perpetual licence to use it, not the source code.

How does Tajir work without an internet connection?

Nothing Tajir needs to sell is on the internet. The main till runs its own PostgreSQL database inside the shop, and extra tills connect to it over the local network, updating each other in real time. Sales, stock, cash and refunds never leave the building, so an outage changes nothing at the counter. The licence is activated once and never checks in again, so a shop with no internet at all is fully supported.

Which Tajir editions are there, and can I try them?

Three, all fully supported: Tajir Souq for shops and minimarkets, Tajir Sufra for restaurants and cafés (tables and kitchen tickets), and Tajir Mizan for anything sold by weight (a live scale at the counter). The free demo covers all three. Pick one, two or every edition, and each gets its own private store with an owner login and a cashier login. Receipts print to your own printer, so you can test your hardware too.

What actually happens during the free 30-minute discovery call?

There is zero sales pitch and no slide deck. You speak directly with a senior engineer. We walk through your current spreadsheets, software friction, and system schemas. Within 24 hours of the call, we send you a one-page architecture summary detailing what to build, expected timelines, and exact fixed pricing.

Can you integrate with our existing ERP (SAP, Odoo, Oracle) and WhatsApp?

Yes. We routinely engineer thin, resilient middleware layers and webhook listeners that bridge modern mobile and web clients directly with legacy on-premise ERP databases and the WhatsApp Business API.

Where is your team based and what languages do you support?

We are an independent software practice headquartered in Zamalek, Cairo, serving clients across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. All our systems, database structures, documentation, and user interfaces are built bilingual in Arabic and English from day one.
