Our Story
Helping Customers Flourish
ShopMate empowers independent retailers with seamless, intuitive EPOS solutions designed to simplify sales, enhance customer experiences, and drive growth.
The Spark That Started It All
At ShopMate, we believe that independent retailers are the backbone of communities. But we saw them struggling—stuck with outdated, complicated, and expensive EPOS systems that made running a business harder, not easier. We knew there had to be a better way. That’s why we built ShopMate: a seamless, intuitive, and powerful solution designed to simplify sales, enhance customer experiences, and drive real growth. Our journey began with a vision—to give retailers the tools they need to thrive in a fast-changing world.
A Journey of Growth and Innovation
From our first prototype to becoming a trusted name in EPOS technology, our path hasn’t always been easy. We’ve tackled tough challenges, adapted to changing market needs, and continuously innovated to offer more than just a till system. Today, ShopMate is more than an EPOS—it’s a complete ecosystem. From seamless payment integration and customer loyalty programs to digital screen advertising and real-time analytics, we’ve built a platform that empowers retailers to do more.
