What really changes

Three differences you will notice every day

Managed product or open-source project

With Gestio, the team selects a plan and starts in a decided workflow. With Dolibarr, it also chooses hosting, modules, backups and how far to customize.

Native mobile or web POS

Gestio uses the Android phone directly to scan and print over Bluetooth. TakePOS adds a real till to Dolibarr through a browser, with printing choices to configure.

Specialization or expansion

Dolibarr can grow into projects, HR, manufacturing and other functions through modules. Gestio stays deliberately focused on the daily operation of a Moroccan shop.

Frequently asked questions

Before you choose

Does Dolibarr include a POS?

Yes. The included TakePOS module supports a touch interface, barcodes, multiple terminals and stock. Its setup and printing follow a web-based approach.

Is Dolibarr cheaper than Gestio?

The open-source software can be used without a licence fee, but hosting, maintenance, extensions and integration still matter. Compare total cost and internal time, not the licence alone.
