Planned C0001
Simca is a planned point of sale and business manager for small businesses that is designed to work offline, treat cash as first-class and collect no telemetry. It is in the design stage and has no released app.
Planned C0002
The README targets small businesses in South America and other underserved markets. The industry study on this site also asks, honestly, where larger sectors fit and where they do not.
Planned C0003
Selling without a reliable connection, keeping a cash drawer honest, tracking stock and credit, producing local tax documents, and keeping business data on the owner's own devices rather than a vendor's cloud.
Designed C0004
Many shops lose internet or power regularly. The design principle is that selling, printing, closing a shift and waybills never wait for a connection or a sign-in, because a stalled queue costs more than any feature.
Designed C0005
In the target markets much trade is cash, wallet transfers and informal credit. The README therefore treats cash as first-class, records Yape and Plin by hand and keeps cards to the phone's Tap to Pay.
No claim C0006
No. It is not an acquirer or processor. Card acceptance is planned only through a provider's Tap to Pay SDK on the phone, and Simca does not scan or store card numbers.
Planned C0007
The catalog has a bookkeeping module of 119 planned items, plus exports for an accountant. It is not a substitute for professional tax advice.
Planned C0008
The README mentions one in the same local database, and the catalog has a tasks module of 31 planned items.
