Operix Systems

FAQ

Questions people ask before they call

Cost, setup time, your data, support, and how each system works. If your question isn't here, ask on WhatsApp.

What does Operix Systems do?

We build ERP, POS and CRM software and business websites for companies in Pakistan and the UAE. Most of our work connects sales, stock and accounts so a business runs from one system instead of spreadsheets.

Do you sell ready-made software or build it for us?

Each system is set up around how your company already works. We start from modules we have built before, then change the screens, reports and approvals to fit your process.

How much does an ERP or POS system cost?

It depends on the modules, the number of users and branches, and whether you need a website with it. Starting prices are on our pricing page; tell us what you need on WhatsApp or book a demo and we'll give you a written quote.

Do you work with businesses in Dubai and the UAE?

Yes. Our office is in Karachi and we work with clients in Dubai and across the UAE remotely, with the same WhatsApp line for support.

Can our staff learn it quickly?

Screens are designed with your team before we build them, and training happens on your live system in Urdu or English, branch by branch.

Websites in Pakistan

Websites in Pakistan page →

Who offers business web design services in Pakistan?

Operix Systems designs and builds business websites from Karachi for companies across Pakistan. Each site is designed for your business, written in clear English or Urdu, fast on phones and set up for Google from day one.

How much does a business website cost in Pakistan?

It depends on the number of pages, the design work and whether we write the content. Starting prices in PKR are on our pricing page, and after a short call you get one fixed written quote.

What is the best web design company in Karachi for a small business?

Look for a company that shows live sites it has built, gives a fixed written quote, hands you ownership of the domain and code, and answers on WhatsApp after launch. That is how we work at Operix Systems.

Do you build websites for businesses in Lahore, Islamabad and other cities?

Yes. We work with businesses all over Pakistan. In Karachi we can meet at your office; in other cities the whole project runs online, at the same price.

How long does it take to build a business website in Pakistan?

A simple company website is usually ready in one to three weeks once we have your content. Online stores and sites with more features take longer, and the timeline is written into the quote.

Do you make ecommerce websites with cash on delivery in Pakistan?

Yes. Online stores can take cash on delivery, bank transfer, JazzCash, Easypaisa and card payments, with order alerts and courier booking where needed.

Will my website show up on Google in Pakistan?

Every site is built with the technical SEO Google expects: fast pages, proper titles, a sitemap and Search Console setup. Ranking for competitive searches also needs good content and time, so we do not promise positions.

Do you design websites in Urdu?

Yes. A site can be in English, Urdu or both, with proper right-to-left layout for the Urdu pages.

Is a website better than only a Facebook or Instagram page?

A social page is useful, but you do not own it and customers searching Google often cannot find it. A website is yours, appears in search results and makes your business look established.

Who owns the website, domain and hosting?

You do. The domain is registered in your name and you receive full access to the site and its code.

Can you redesign my old website?

Yes. We review your current site, keep what works, fix speed and mobile problems, and move your pages over without losing their Google rankings.

Do you provide website maintenance and support in Pakistan?

Yes. Monthly support plans cover updates, backups, security fixes and small changes, with help on WhatsApp. Plan prices are on our pricing page.

What is ERP software?

ERP (enterprise resource planning) software keeps a company's purchasing, stock, sales, accounts and HR in one system, so a sale, a delivery or a payment updates every department at once instead of being copied between spreadsheets.

How long does it take to set up an ERP?

It depends on the modules and branches. We agree the timeline module by module in the written quote, and the first module usually goes live while the others are still being built.

Can it keep accounts in PKR and AED, with GST and VAT?

Yes. Books can run in PKR, AED or both, with Pakistan sales tax and UAE VAT reported separately for each entity.

Can we bring our data over from Excel or other software?

Yes. We import item lists, customers, suppliers and opening balances from Excel or your current software, and check the totals with you before go-live.

Is it online, or installed on our own server?

Usually it runs online so every branch and your phone can reach it. If you prefer, we can install it on your own server instead.

How much does an ERP cost?

It depends on the modules, users and branches you need. Starting prices are on our pricing page; message us on WhatsApp or book a demo and we'll send a written quote.

What is a POS system?

POS (point of sale) software is what the cashier uses to bill a customer. A good one also updates stock, records the payment method and gives you a closing report for each shift.

Does it work for restaurants as well as shops?

Yes. Restaurants get tables, kitchen tickets and delivery orders; shops get barcodes, returns and exchanges. Both run on the same system.

Which printers and scanners does it support?

Standard thermal receipt printers and USB or Bluetooth barcode scanners. Tell us what you already have and we'll confirm before you buy anything new.

Can it connect to our ERP or accounts?

Yes. Operix POS can post each day's sales straight into the ERP's accounts and stock, so nobody re-enters totals at month end.

How much does a POS system cost?

It depends on the number of counters, branches and features. Starting prices are on our pricing page; message us on WhatsApp for a written quote.

What is CRM software?

CRM (customer relationship management) software records your leads and customers, what was said and quoted, and what should happen next, so no enquiry is forgotten.

Can it take leads from WhatsApp?

Yes. Enquiries from WhatsApp, your website and email can all be recorded as leads in the same pipeline.

Can the CRM connect to our ERP?

Yes. A won deal can become a sales order in the ERP without re-typing, and customer balances can show inside the CRM.

Is it only for large sales teams?

No. It is just as useful for an owner and two salespeople who currently track leads in a diary or a spreadsheet.

How much does a CRM cost?

It depends on users and integrations. Starting prices are on our pricing page; message us on WhatsApp for a written quote.

Mobile app development

Mobile app development page →

Do you build for both Android and iPhone?

Yes. We build both from one codebase, so both versions get the same features at the same time.

Can the app connect to our ERP or POS?

Yes. Staff and customer apps read and write the same data as your ERP, POS or website, so there's nothing to re-enter.

Who owns the app and its store listing?

You do. The app is published under your company's Google Play and App Store accounts.

How long does an app take?

It depends on the screens and integrations. The timeline is set module by module in the written quote.

How much does a mobile app cost?

It depends on the features, platforms and integrations. Starting prices are on our pricing page; message us on WhatsApp for a written quote.

How long does a business website take?

It depends on the number of pages and features. A company site is usually faster than an online store; the timeline is written into the quote.

Will my website rank on Google?

We build every site with the technical SEO Google expects and help you with content and Search Console. Rankings depend on competition and content, so we don't promise positions.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. Sites that change often get an admin panel for pages, products and blog posts.

Do you build online stores with cash on delivery?

Yes. Cash on delivery, bank transfer and card payments are all possible, with order notifications by email.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on pages, features and languages. Starting prices are on our pricing page; message us on WhatsApp for a written quote.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes help within weeks; rankings for competitive searches usually build over several months, depending on your competition and content.

Can you guarantee first position on Google?

No one can honestly guarantee a position. We guarantee the work: the fixes, pages and reporting agreed in the quote.

Do you do local SEO for Karachi or Dubai?

Yes. Local pages, Google Business Profile and consistent listings are part of the work for businesses that serve a city.

Can you do SEO on a website you didn't build?

Yes. We start with an audit of your current site and tell you what needs fixing before we quote.

How much do SEO services cost?

It depends on the size of the site and the competition. Starting prices are on our pricing page; message us on WhatsApp for a written quote.

What is the difference between UI and UX?

UX is how a task flows: what comes first, what can be skipped, where people get stuck. UI is how each screen looks. We design both together.

Can you redesign software we already have?

Yes. We can redesign the screens of an existing system and hand the designs to your developers, or build the new version ourselves.

What do we receive at the end?

Clickable prototypes, the final screen designs and a design system your developers can follow.

Do we need UI/UX design if we are buying an ERP from you?

It is included in every system we build. As a separate service it suits companies with their own developers.

Can one system run several shops?

Yes. Each branch bills on its own and head office sees every branch's sales and stock live.

Can my online store and my shops share stock?

Yes. The website and the POS read the same stock, so an item sold in one place is no longer offered in the other.

Do you support barcode printers and scanners?

Yes, standard barcode label printers and scanners. Tell us what you have and we'll confirm before you buy anything.

How much does a retail POS cost?

It depends on counters, branches and whether you need the ERP and an online store. Starting prices are on our pricing page; ask on WhatsApp for a written quote.

Restaurants software

Restaurants software page →

Can customers order from our own website?

Yes. Website orders arrive on the same screen as counter orders, so the kitchen works from one list.

Does it keep working if the internet goes down?

Billing continues offline and syncs when the connection is back.

Can it handle several branches or a central kitchen?

Yes. Each branch runs its own POS, and head office sees sales and stock across all of them.

How much does a restaurant POS cost?

It depends on counters, branches and online ordering. Starting prices are on our pricing page; ask on WhatsApp for a written quote.

Can the system sell the earliest-expiring batch first?

Yes. The counter picks the batch with the nearest expiry unless the pharmacist chooses another.

Can we see what is about to expire?

Yes. A near-expiry report lists medicines by batch and date, so you can return or move them in time.

Does it work for a chain of pharmacies?

Yes. Each branch has its own stock, with transfers and a central view.

How much does pharmacy software cost?

It depends on branches and counters. Starting prices are on our pricing page; ask on WhatsApp for a written quote.

Distribution software

Distribution software page →

Can salesmen book orders on their phones?

Yes. Orders are booked on the phone by route and shop, and reach the office immediately.

Can we set credit limits per shop?

Yes. An order above a shop's limit is held for approval before it is delivered.

Can we see recoveries by salesman?

Yes. Each salesman has a recovery list and the office sees balances by age.

How much does distribution software cost?

It depends on the number of salesmen, warehouses and modules. Starting prices are on our pricing page; ask on WhatsApp for a written quote.

Can the ERP track fabric sent to outside units?

Yes. Every issue and receipt from a job-work unit is recorded, with shortages and rejections against the order.

Yes. Material, processing and overheads build up per order as it moves through production.

Do you build websites for textile exporters?

Working with us in Saudi Arabia

Working with us in Saudi Arabia page →

Do you have an office in Saudi Arabia?

No. Our only office is in Karachi, and every Saudi project is delivered remotely by that team. If you need a supplier who can visit your premises, a company based in your city will suit you better.

Can your systems handle ZATCA e-invoicing?

Systems for Saudi clients are built to issue invoices electronically with a QR code, and integration with ZATCA's platform is planned into the project. Which wave applies to you and exactly what your invoices must contain are for your tax adviser to confirm.

Which language do we work in?

Calls and training are held in English, or in Urdu if your team prefers it. The system itself, with its screens and documents, is built in Arabic, and the Arabic wording is reviewed with your own staff before go-live.

How much does an ERP or POS cost for a Saudi business?

The figure follows the modules, users, branches and integrations you need, e-invoicing included. Starting prices are on our pricing page; send us a message on WhatsApp and you will get a written quote.

Working with us in USA

Working with us in USA page →

Do you have an office in the USA?

No. The company has a single address, on I.I. Chundrigar Road in Karachi, and no branch or agent in America. US clients deal with that team online, on calls in the US morning and through written updates the rest of the time.

How does the time difference work?

Karachi is nine to ten hours ahead of Eastern time and twelve to thirteen ahead of Pacific. We keep a fixed call slot in your morning, which is our evening, and the build work happens while you are offline.

Who owns the code?

You do. Your company is the registered holder of the source code, the hosting and domain, and any App Store, Google Play or payment account, and the agreement records that from the outset.

Have you built software for US companies before?

No US company appears in our published portfolio. The bulk of it was built for Pakistani and UAE businesses; a few projects are international, among them a Belgian fashion label's online store. Judge us on the work you can open and on a demo.

Working with us in UK

Working with us in UK page →

Do you have an office in the UK?

No. Our only office is in Karachi, Pakistan, and UK projects run entirely online. We have not published a project for a UK client yet; the international work in our portfolio includes an online store for a Belgian fashion label and a website for an ecommerce management and sourcing company.

Does the software handle VAT and Making Tax Digital?

It records VAT on sales and purchases in pounds, with the standard rate at 20%, and keeps those records digitally. The VAT return itself is filed from your accounting package, such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, which receives the figures from the system we build. Which rates and schemes apply to your business is something to confirm with your accountant.

How is personal data protected when your team is outside the UK?

UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act apply to your customers' and staff's data wherever your supplier sits. Before work starts, the contract sets out what data the system holds, where it is hosted and who on our side may reach it, and we build and test on made-up data wherever the job allows. Ask your lawyer or data protection adviser to review those terms.

How is a project priced and paid for?

The price follows what you need built: which modules, how many users, what it must connect to. That is why we publish no price list. A discovery call comes first, then a written scope with a figure against each milestone, and you pay as each milestone is accepted.

Working with us in Europe

Working with us in Europe page →

Do you have an office in Europe?

No. Operix has a single office, on I.I. Chundrigar Road, Karachi, and nobody based in Europe. European projects are run online from there, by one team from the first call through to support.

What about GDPR, given that Operix is not in the EU?

Three things are fixed in the contract: the personal data we are allowed to touch, the few people here who may touch it, and the hosting region, which you select. GDPR sets conditions for suppliers outside the EU, and how they apply depends on your data, so take legal advice for your own case.

Which languages can you build in?

Any language your customers or staff read. Zoya Couture, our European project, sells in Dutch, French and English, and a UAE site of ours runs in English, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Our working language with you is English; before launch, each language is proofread by a native speaker you trust.

Have you worked with European clients before?

One so far: Zoya Couture, an online store for a new Belgian fashion label in Gent. The rest of our portfolio is mostly in Pakistan and the UAE, and we would rather tell you that than imply otherwise.
