Build network resiliency directly into your POS
Low-latency sync between in-store devices is critical for selling products, delivering services, connecting employees, and creating engaging experiences for customers. But WiFi and cloud connections to mobile and edge devices are more brittle than you may think, especially when operating in non-traditional environments, large venues, patios, food trucks, and pop-up shops, where network infrastructure is less reliable.
When these connections break down at critical moments, it directly affects your customers’ ability to drive revenue and provide stellar service. These issues reflect poorly on your product despite being out of your control.
With Ditto’s SDK embedded into your POS, your customers can sync orders, inventory, and more directly between in-store devices without Wi-Fi, network hardware, or complex wiring.
Ditto enables your existing POS devices to maintain their own resilient networks and talk directly over peer-to-peer transports, ensuring resilient connectivity at all times.
“Ditto moves key data quickly with no round trips to central services”
Ditto moves key operational data between restaurant team members quickly, seamlessly and with no round trips to central services. The more control and information we can put in the hands of operators and their teams, the better they can care for customers.
Chris TaylorSenior Director of Customer Technology Solutions
“Unbelievable”
“Normally, setting up a restaurant took at least 1 day, and we often had to come back again. With Ditto plus Spont, it’s just plug-and-play now. You just switch it on, connect the power, and it just runs!”
Flip Van Den BoschCTO, SPONT
“Ditto has made something very complex seem simple with one of the best technical support teams in the world.”
“We never have to worry about internet connectivity anymore. The Ditto ecosystem solves for networking and data syncing, so our developers don’t have to.”
John KomarkowskiCo-founder
Solve in-store connectivity issues
Building your POS with Ditto means that your customers won’t notice lapses in connectivity. Orders will always make it from order-takers to the kitchen or back-of-house - whether a single device is momentarily offline or if your entire store is offline.
Accelerate Deployment and Customer Implementation
Since Ditto offers SDKs for all major languages and platforms, Spont can build and deploy a wide variety of products with just a small development team.
And, getting one of their customers up and running with their POS system is quicker and easier that ever before.

Built-in networking helps your customers deploy quickly - and sets them up for success wherever they are.
Customers with your Ditto-based POS can excel in any environment, restaurants, pop-ups, patios, and more, because they don’t need to build complicated network infrastructure to support ordering.
Ditto’s offline networking reduces support tickets caused by connectivity frustrations. This doesn’t just help existing customers though - a dynamic offline solution will ensure you stand out in a crowded POS market.
Give your customers confidence in your POS at critical moments.
Avoid trips to the cloud by syncing directly between local devices, cutting down on cloud costs.
By reducing bandwidth strain on local servers and Wi-Fi, you can deploy more in-store devices (tabletop, kitchen display, etc.) without overtaxing your network or compromising on speed.
Modernize and simplify your POS architecture with the network hardware and devices that you already have.

We offer a free demo account for Ditto. We also have demo apps that let you test pre-built Ditto apps.
Ditto automatically creates a network with your local devices using the best connection type among P2P Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and if it’s available local network.
In Ditto's implementation, conflicts are automatically resolved, merged, and synced across peers without the need for coordination or validation from a centralized authority. Learn more about Ditto’s CRDT.
Check out our pricing pages for information on Ditto Cloud Sync and Peer-to-peer Sync. Depending on your needs, you may need to speak with our sales team to discuss your project’s scope.
Ditto stores data in structured JSON-like document objects, similar to NoSQL.
Encrypted at the transport layer using version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Protocol (TLS), clients and servers are mutually authenticated prior to transmission of API and peer-to-peer access credentials. The use of mutually authenticated TLS (mTLS) mitigates potential risks posed by outside attackers attempting to masquerade as a valid API endpoint or peer in the mesh network to steal information.
Additionally, Ditto workloads and services are tightly controlled in a containerized Kubernetes environment.
