What is new	Rebuilds the POS around consignment economics and gives every consignor a live app and wallet, a segment previously served only by installed legacy software.	Browser-based POS that runs on any device with modular add-ons, but the approach itself is standard cloud POS.
Strengths	Public, commitment-free pricing and free data migration from legacy consignment software Consignor mobile app removes the phone calls and spreadsheets typical of dépôts-ventes Designed around consignment logic (splits, payouts, unsold returns) instead of a generic POS with a plugin	Hardware-agnostic (web, iOS, Android, Windows) Compliant with Austrian RKSV and German KassenSichV rules Transparent modular pricing
Limits	Tiny team and no disclosed company details beyond the SARL; long-term support is a bet No payment-terminal or Vinted integration mentioned; online extension is Shopify only for now France-only compliance focus	Gastronomy features are a paid add-on Less depth for larger multi-site restaurants
