Open instead of closed: DiKAS for POS dealers & system integrators
June 06, 2026 · DiKAS Team · 4 min read
The big SaaS tills are built for their providers, not for their partners. Anyone working with them as a specialist dealer or system integrator is often just an intermediary – with no real margin, no access to the system. DiKAS takes a different approach.
Your own Linux appliance instead of someone else’s cloud
DiKAS is available as a complete, installable Linux appliance (Arch-based). You run the system on your own hardware or as a server VM – for your customers, in your hands. Full data sovereignty instead of dependence on someone else’s cloud.
No payment lock-in
Any compatible EC terminal runs over the ZVT protocol. You sell and configure your own hardware – without a third-party payment provider standing between you and your customer and taking a cut.
Extensible via plugin architecture
DiKAS has a modular design. Through the plugin architecture (IFeatureModule) you build your own feature modules and tailor the system to your customer’s industry – including developer documentation. On top of that there’s a REST API with over 120 endpoints to connect inventory management, accounting or your own systems.
Recurring margin instead of one-off sale
Instead of selling hardware once and then losing the customer, you earn recurring revenue – over the entire term. That makes your business predictable.
The club niche as a door opener
With the club & nightlife module you win customers from a segment many providers do not serve. A niche where you can clearly position yourself with DiKAS.
How to become a partner
We offer tiered partnerships (Registered, Silver, Gold) with onboarding, training, demo tenants and lead sharing.
