How much is your POS vendor taking?
Retail margins are already thin. Per-transaction POS fees, per-seat inventory software, marketing SaaS, CRM, and accounting stack up. Most of it has a self-hosted equivalent that does the job without the per-seat or per-transaction tax.
Three pains specific to retail.
Per-transaction and per-seat SaaS fees
POS systems, inventory, loyalty, and e-commerce platforms all charge by volume. Self-hosted Odoo Retail or Dolibarr removes the volume tax.
Email marketing per-contact pricing
Mailchimp, HubSpot, and friends charge per contact. Self-hosted listmonk or Mautic costs a server.
Data locked in vendor silos
Customer data, purchase history, loyalty points. Vendor migrations are painful because the vendor wants you locked in. Open source means your data in open formats from day one.
