What Positive Systems Solutions Ltd does

Positive Systems Solutions Ltd, trading as Positive Retail, is an Ireland-based provider of Point of Sale (POS) software, hardware, and related services targeting small and mid-sized retailers across Ireland. The company is headquartered in Dublin 12 and was founded in 2007; its website at positiveretail.ie positions it as a 'Leading Point of Sale Provider for Irish Retailers' with claimed experience of over 16 years in the sector. The product portfolio centres on the RMH POS platform, deployable in cloud, on-premise, or hybrid configurations, with modular add-ons for inventory management, retail reporting, eCommerce website integration, and third-party POS integrations, accompanied by hardware peripherals (terminals, scanners, card readers, printers) and ongoing support.

The platform is designed to unify in-store and online sales, stock, and customer data, supporting use cases such as loyalty programme management, customer data capture, and reporting across retailers managing large SKU ranges. Two product extensions — a Picking App and a Work Order Notification Extension — are currently in development. Revenue is generated through a mix of POS software subscriptions/licences, hardware resale, consulting and certified project management services, and ongoing POS support contracts. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, leveraging the company website, Calendly-driven enquiry and demo booking funnels, and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X), supported by published customer stories and industry awards such as the 2024 Guaranteed Irish Brand Activation Champion recognition.

Customer concentration sits with Irish SMB retailers across verticals including garden centres, toy retail, footwear, books, opticians, jewellery, photography, grocery, and hair & beauty. Named customers include Beechdale Garden Centre, Toymaster Gorey, Hore's Stores Wexford, McCauley's, Midland Books, Ecco, Conns Camera, Veritas, and others. The firm appears to be founder-owned and independently operated, with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or leadership changes, and a stated headcount of 1-10 employees.
