You've got a lot to handle on campus. Let Odin handle lunch.
Odin POS is an end-to-end incidental spending management suite with full inventory management included. We’ve helped hundreds of schools create a university-like OneCard system where students can make any purchase using their student ID. The Odin system is compatible with barcode scanners, PINs, and RFID cards. No matter how you want to authenticate students, we can support it. If you don't already issue cards, our ID design system makes it easy to issue branded ID cards designed to integrate directly with the full Odin suite.
Students will no longer need to bring cash to school for purchases. With our MyKidsSpending.com portal, parents can deposit funds, check their students' balances, and see a real-time overview of student purchases. With our MyKidsSpending app, students can make purchases directly from the app or generate a QR-like barcode that can be scanned to charge the student account. For added security, that barcode even refreshes itself, so no screenshots can be used to make purchases. Odin even handles school bank allowances, with the ability to issue petty cash or add funds directly sent to your campus's Business Office.
At Odin, our independent school-focused point of sale has helped hundreds of institutions across the country turn the time-consuming operations of cafeterias, bookstores, and other retail areas into revenue-generating profit centers.
Fast, efficient, easy-to-use, and affordable, Odin's class-leading point of sale systems get high marks across the board.
Academic institutions' top priority is simple - education. At Odin, we understand. That's why we're proud to offer streamlined, cost-effective POS solutions that seamlessly automate the operation of your school's cafeteria and other retail venues.
Designed specifically for schools, our easy-to-use, reliable, and affordable POS systems reduce administrative burdens and leave you with more time for what really matters: your students.
