Suki

Suki (marketed at sukipos.com, with a related “Suki” small-business tracker app distributed on the Apple App Store under developer George Manibo) is a point-of-sale and customer-loyalty app built specifically for small Filipino businesses: sari-sari stores, market vendors, home bakers, cafes, salons, and food carts. Its own site frames the product around a simple observation — every local business runs on its regulars (“suki” is the Filipino word for a loyal, repeat customer), and no existing Philippine POS system had been built around that relationship.

The product is offline-first, meaning it can process sales, manage inventory, and serve customers without an internet connection, and it works in English, Tagalog, and Taglish. Features include real-time sales and stock tracking, low-stock alerts, PIN-based staff access, multi-store support, and a built-in loyalty mechanism (digital stamp cards and points campaigns via a companion “Suki Perks” app for customers). It is offered on a freemium model — a free tier with transaction and customer limits, and a paid “Suki Pro” tier — explicitly avoiding the recurring per-terminal SaaS fees that are common among larger POS vendors serving Philippine retail.

Available public records point to the company being based in Liloan, Cebu. No funding round, revenue figures, or user-count milestones for this specific product could be independently verified; there is no known relationship to the larger, separately-funded “SariSuki” social-commerce startup or to the U.S. healthcare-AI company also named Suki, both of which are unrelated businesses that surface in searches for the same name.

Small Filipino retailers such as sari-sari stores and market vendors have historically run on cash and paper records, or on POS systems designed for larger retailers with recurring subscription fees and reliable internet connectivity assumptions that don't fit an intermittent-connectivity, low-margin small business.

Sari-sari store owners, market vendors, home bakers, cafes, salons, and other small Filipino retail and food businesses that need to track sales and inventory day to day.

Built offline-first rather than cloud-dependent, with a genuine free tier (no forced monthly subscription) and a loyalty/rewards mechanism built directly into the core product rather than sold as a separate add-on — deliberately positioned around the Filipino sari-sari and micro-retail segment rather than adapted from a generic international POS product.
