We are pleased to announce the release of Ficos version 1.0.44, introducing a significant enhancement—Offline Support. This update ensures that your retail operations continue without disruption, even in the absence of an internet connection.
Reliable retail management requires continuous access to essential features such as sales processing, inventory tracking, expense management, and customer interactions. However, businesses often face network instability, temporary service outages, or remote locations with limited connectivity. The new offline functionality in Ficos is designed to mitigate these challenges, allowing businesses to operate efficiently at all times.
Key Enhancements in Version 1.0.44
1. Offline Sales and Payment Processing
- Record sales transactions without requiring an active internet connection.
- Allow customers to pay off multiple outstanding debts in a single transaction.
- Apply discounts and promotions to sales, ensuring pricing consistency.
2. Inventory Management Without Internet Access
- Update stock levels and product availability while offline.
- Modify pricing as needed, with changes reflected once reconnected.
- Maintain seamless stock tracking and avoid discrepancies.
3. Expense and Refund Management
- Log business expenses with relevant details while offline.
- Attach expense receipts for accurate financial tracking.
- Process customer refunds and returns without delays.
4. Customer and Supplier Management
- Add or update customer profiles without requiring an internet connection.
- Manage supplier details efficiently, ensuring all relevant information is available.
How Offline Mode Works
All actions performed while offline will be stored securely on your device. Once the system detects an internet connection, all pending transactions and updates will be automatically synchronized with your Ficos account. This ensures that data remains consistent without requiring manual intervention.
Steps to Enable and Use Offline Mode

- Remain logged in before going offline to retain access to stored data.
- Continue working as usual—sales, inventory, expenses, and customer details will be recorded offline.
- Reconnect to the internet when available to sync all offline data with your account.
