ARBA’s proprietary POS software suite was developed exclusively by our product designers to make full use of the Azure Cloud or the client’s own servers. As a result, our next generation applications allow clients within multiple industries to make purchases, sell products, pay employees, and manage it all seamlessly. ARBA is developed on Microsoft’s .NET SQL solution framework as well as Azure Stack.
Our POS suite works flawlessly on the Azure cloud. With the cloud, there’s no need to perform manual updates, code upgrades, or version changes – the platform has it covered. This results in a secure, reliable suite with almost zero downtime, allowing clients to continue business growth 24/7.
ARBA’s in-house development team consists 100% of employees rather than limited-time contractors. This direct development approach allows us to lower our development costs, reduce time to market, and ensure consistency in development, service, and customer care.
Live support is offered out of our Hyderabad, India facility, located within close proximity to our development center. This arrangement allows our support staff easy access to our developers for quick issue resolution.
Our offshore development team is located in India, but is made up of employees that have been with the company for 10-15 years. These aren’t temporary outsourced freelancers – our “in house” team has the experience and dedication to handle new projects with excellent results and even better margins. They invest their best efforts while saving three to five times the cost.
Currently, ARBA serves thousands of privately owned and enterprise-based businesses across multiple sectors. With cafeteria clients in healthcare systems, education centers, and corporate buildings, retail enterprises in all of these sectors and more, and private retail establishment of many types across North Africa, Asia, and North America, the upper bounds of our client base is unlimited.
Multiple ARBA clients have remained loyal to our POS suite for years and continue to utilize our system as they scale. Better yet, as our loyal clients scale their businesses, so does ARBA – we continue to meet client needs as individual demand grows.
Through efforts by ARBA’s team, we have expanded into two new continents and counting with ARBA Technology Pvt. Ltd. Our global presence positions us to continue to grow our client base as well as search for and capitalize on additional opportunities for growth outside our current markets.
Because of ARBA’s niche product, we are able to withstand dips in the market and fluctuations due to recessions. We don’t offer the typical “point of sale” software as our product is created for employers who have a large workforce – this software enables those employees to use their badge to make purchases that come directly from their paycheck. By targeting businesses that are essential, like hospitals and large cafeterias, the product we offer can always be leveraged.
As an agency that provides software licenses to clients based on an annual or monthly fee, we reap the benefits of recurring revenue without the need for further marketing. This works as a long-term revenue stream as companies tend stay with the agency that provided their licenses.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
