Why shops pick X3 ERP
Built for how retail actually runs.
Pick your business type, get the right app
One Business Profile switches on the features, fields and menus a pharmacy, mart, wholesaler or electronics shop needs. Same product, a different fit for each shop.
FBR on every sale
Sales, invoices and returns can be reported to FBR automatically, retried if the internet drops, and printed with a verified QR code. A separate sandbox mode means a shop can't go live by accident.
Real Urdu and Arabic
The whole layout flips right to left, printed receipts included. A cashier can use English on screen and still print an Urdu receipt for the customer.
Numbers you can trust
One money engine avoids rounding errors, reports never invent a trend when there's no previous period, and every posting shows its ledger entry before it's saved.
Maker-checker approvals
One approval engine covers payroll, purchase requisitions and other risky actions, and nobody can approve their own request.
Every branch kept separate
Each shop, counter or warehouse is its own security boundary, so one branch's data never shows up in another's view.
Everything is logged
Exports, password resets and financial postings all leave an audit trail: who, when and what changed.
Payroll in one screen
A month of payroll and staff loans reviewed on a single screen: figures pre-filled, only exceptions need a click.

12 areas of your business, one login.

What Mr. Akmal says
Mr. AkmalOwner, Housing society & retail business · Pakistan & Saudi Arabia
Verified client★★★★★Safdar bhai and his team have done two projects for me now. Few years back they installed Turner real estate software for my business in Pakistan and it is still working fine. Here in Saudi Arabia we were using a well known software for our retail business but it was not matching our way of working. I asked Safdar to make a system for us and they made a custom retail ERP which we are using now. Very cooperative people, they listen properly and never left us in between. Payment and delivery both were smooth. I recommend Eaquirs Tech to anyone in Saudi or Pakistan who needs proper software for their business.

Questions shop owners ask
Does X3 work with FBR?
Yes. X3 has a built-in FBR integration for POS sales, invoices and sales returns. Accepted sales get an FBR invoice number and a QR code on the receipt. Each shop starts in sandbox mode and switches to production only when it's ready.
Is X3 good pharmacy software?
Yes. The pharmacy profile tracks the batch and expiry of every strip, picks first-expiry-first-out, flags near-expiry and quarantine stock, and keeps supplier ledgers, with FBR on every sale. It works as a pharmacy management system for a single counter or several branches.
What does POS software cost in Pakistan?
X3 comes in three packages, each a one-time payment with annual support billed separately. Starter is PKR 350,000 for one shop and one counter (POS, stock, purchase and sales, basic reports). Business is PKR 800,000 and adds accounts, FBR e-invoicing and several counters. Enterprise, the full ERP with every module and branch, is quoted after a short demo on your own products. If you need a retail ERP and POS built specifically for your business instead, our cost estimator gives a typical range for that too.
Which businesses is X3 for?
Pharmacies, general stores and marts, wholesalers, mobile/AC/electronics shops, apparel and footwear stores, and cafés. You choose a business profile and X3 shows the features that business needs.
Can X3 run in Urdu or Arabic?
Yes. The full interface and printed documents work in English, Urdu and Arabic with a proper right-to-left layout, and the receipt language can differ from the screen language.
Does it handle multiple branches?
Yes. Stock, sales and accounts are kept per branch, counter or warehouse, with transfers between them and consolidated accounts for the owner.
Does it include accounting and payroll?
Yes. Double-entry accounting (trial balance, P&L, balance sheet, ageing, bank reconciliation) and payroll with attendance, staff loans and approvals are built in.
How was X3 built so quickly?
Our AI agents wrote the repetitive code, tests and documentation while senior engineers owned the architecture and business rules. The core went from first commit to a live environment in 18 days and passes an automated test suite of 3,000+ tests.
