KORONA POS by COMBASE

What KORONA POS by COMBASE does

KORONA POS is the cloud-based point-of-sale product brand of COMBASE, a German-headquartered multinational (COMBASE AG) operating in the United States through COMBASE USA (Las Vegas). The platform serves small and mid-market businesses across three primary verticals: retail (21+ sub-verticals including liquor stores, dispensaries, thrift stores, convenience stores, wineries, vape shops, and specialty retailers), quick-service restaurants (bakeries and coffee shops), and ticketing/attractions (amusement parks, museums, water parks, event venues). Named reference customers span both SMB and mid-market segments, including Truro Vineyards, ShopGoodwill.com, Coppola Winery, Museum of Illusions, Timbavati Wildlife Park, and Prospect Butcher Co.

The platform is built on KORONA Cloud infrastructure with web-based access, automatic updates, and real-time multi-location synchronization. Core technical components include inventory management with reorder thresholds and receiving automation, KORONA Studio for custom reporting, integrated payment processing and merchant services, loyalty and CRM, gift cards, loss prevention, eCommerce integration, and self-checkout kiosks. The system exposes an API through a developer portal and supports integrations with accounting platforms, eCommerce engines, loyalty providers, and the Metrc cannabis track-and-trace system. Support is delivered by an in-house team offering 24/7/365 emergency coverage and includes white-glove data import plus pre-configured hardware delivery.

Commercially, KORONA combines a product-led growth motion (unlimited free trial with no credit card required) with a sales-led motion (quote-based custom pricing, scheduled demos, phone outreach) and a channel motion through a certified reseller/VAR program. Revenue is generated from recurring software subscriptions plus POS hardware sales (terminals, scanners, printers, payment devices, cash drawers, and bundled kits). The company has earned multiple 2025 review-platform badges and a 2026 top-POS inclusion from Retail Technology Innovation Hub, indicating active market presence but no disclosed funding, revenue, or M&A activity.
