THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Manual timers create revenue leakage, customer disputes and weak shift control
When session time is written on paper, calculated mentally or visible only on the cashier screen, managers cannot confidently verify what is running, when it started or whether the billed duration matches actual service.
Operational Risk
Sessions may remain open, stop early, disappear from view or be billed using inconsistent calculations.
Commercial Impact
Lost minutes accumulate into lost revenue while corrections become difficult to explain at shift closing.
TIME BILLING INSIDE ODOO POS
The cashier runs the service while the system calculates the billable usage
Time-based products behave as active service sessions without separating billing from the normal POS workflow.
Start from POS
Start a time-based service directly from the relevant POS order line.
Finalize on Payment
Automatically finalize any remaining active timer before completing payment.
Live Elapsed Time
Keep the active session duration visible while the customer is using the service..
Stop & Calculate
Convert completed minutes into the quantity required for hourly product pricing.
Live Duration Counter
Review continuously advancing elapsed usage from the management interface.
Running Sessions First
Open the manager workspace directly on active sessions requiring operational attention.
LIVE MANAGEMENT MONITORING
Managers can see what is running without standing behind the cashier
A dedicated operational view shows live sessions across the business, giving management independent visibility before the customer reaches payment.
Device & Cashier Context
Know which device or service is active, who started it and where the POS activity belongs.
Operational Status
Review start, stop, current state, billed minutes and the recorded reason a session ended.
TIME INTEGRITY & ANTI-MANIPULATION OVERSIGHT
Silent time changes become harder when every session leaves a manager-visible operational trail
The platform does not depend on an unverified number entered at checkout. It connects the active service, elapsed usage, cashier context and final billing outcome for review.
Independent Manager Visibility
Management can compare what is physically running with the live operational sessions without relying only on the cashier’s screen.
Session Activity Evidence
Each session carries its device, cashier, POS context, start and end times, elapsed usage, billed minutes, status and stop reason.
Visible Exceptions
Differences between an active service, session state and billing outcome become easier to identify and investigate before shift closure.
Business result: stronger supervision reduces opportunities for unrecorded usage, premature stopping, hidden sessions and unexplained time adjustments while preserving manager review.
Detailed Session Records
Open an individual session to review its full business context and outcome.
MANAGER WORKSPACE
From live supervision to historical investigation in one operational view
Status-Based Review
Separate running, completed and exceptional session states for faster follow-up.
Live Kanban
See running sessions as clear operational cards for fast floor supervision.
Search & Grouping
Find sessions and group them by device or service to understand operational patterns.
OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE
The counter keeps working when connectivity becomes temporarily unstable
Local POS timer state supports continuity at the service counter, while synchronization restores management visibility when the connection is available.
Designed for Real Store Conditions
- Retains active timer state locally for POS resilience
- Protects active sessions from accidental line loss
- Keeps local billing available if a sync request temporarily fails
- Finalizes active time before payment completion

Original Preserved
Keep the posted POS order unchanged as the historical source of truth.
Manager-Only Action
