Our Design Approach

POS systems with built-in E-Invoicing capabilities are still rare in the industry. Typically, this functionality is handled separately by accounting software in a SaaS setup. At Xilnex, we break the mold by offering an integrated E-Invoicing module right within our POS solution since the first day of Malaysia E-Invoicing implementation. 

When E‑Invoicing was first announced, many business owners felt it added an extra burden just to stay compliant. Our goal from the beginning has been to design a system that requires the least operational effort from the business owner. Once configured, the system should run on its own with minimal user intervention and allow businesses to focus on what they do best.

Of course, it all comes down to how a business wants to integrate E‑Invoicing into its daily operations. For those who prefer minimal to no disruption to their existing, says, POS usage, we make this possible. For example, when a walk‑in customer requests an E‑Invoice, the business owner can complete the transaction as usual, then request the walk-in customer to proceed claiming the E-Invoice via E-Receipt portal. This serves as a strong testament that no additional effort is needed from the business owner to remain compliant.
