Coffee shop software operating in Medellín

Medellín went from an industrial city to the capital of innovation in Latin America: textiles, software and a "paisa" commercial culture recognized as a salesperson. In areas like El Poblado, Laureles, Envigado, Centro, cafes they compete every day for the same customers: responding first, getting paid without friction and keeping them coming back is the difference.

Long lines at rush hour due to slow charging

No loyalty program to keep customers coming back

Loss of milk, grains and disposables without registration

What Aura solves in your café

Quick payment at the bar

POS with product buttons and modifiers (size, milk, extra shot): you charge a latte in 5 seconds even in the 8 AM line.

Loyalty that fills the store

Digital stamp and points card: The sixth free drink registers itself and the customer sees it on their phone.

Commands to bar

The checkout order appears on the barista's screen with the customer's name and their exact modifiers.

Bar input control

Each drink sold deducts grams of coffee, milliliters of milk and disposables. The loss is no longer invisible.

Compliance and collections in Colombia

Operating in Medellín means complying with Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN) and getting paid as people pay in Colombia. Aura has it integrated:

Billing: Electronic sales invoice (UBL 2.1) with prior validation
