Every other platform makes you pick a category, then charges you for the half of it you will never open. ArkSlate has no category. You set the pieces your business actually runs on — and nothing else.

The category problem
You took a card payment, dispatched a tech, chased an invoice and closed the books. That is four categories, four subscriptions and four logins that do not speak to each other — before lunch.
A point of sale decides you are a counter.
Excellent at ringing up a coffee. Lost the moment the work happens at somebody else’s address.
A CRM decides you are a pipeline.
Tracks the deal beautifully, then hands you off to three other tools the second money actually moves.
An ERP decides you are a factory.
Six figures and a nine-month implementation, to run a shop with four people and a van.
You are none of those. Most days you are all of them.
So ArkSlate does not ship as a category. It ships as pieces — and you set the ones your business actually runs on. That is the whole idea: it is whatever your business needs it to be.
The Pieces
Not six products with an integration tax. Six pieces of one platform, sharing one ledger, one customer list, one login.
Choose a piece to see it. Set only the ones you need — the rest cost you nothing.
Take the money
Counter, kerbside or somebody’s driveway. Split payments, tips, barcodes and card-present terminals, on the same ticket.
Under 2s at the counter
Same pieces, any business
None of these is a different edition or a different price. It is the same six pieces, set differently — and you are never billed for the ones you leave dark.
For a coffee shop, ArkSlate becomes a till that keeps up with the 8am line — and books that close themselves at 3pm.

Modifiers that keep the line moving
Milk, shots, syrups and temperature as one-tap modifiers, with the drink building on the ticket as you go. Nobody learns a menu tree at 7:40am.
A bar screen with no monthly licence
Kitchen display runs on any approved tablet you own. Orders route to the bar in real time over Supabase Realtime, and we never bill you per screen.
Beans and milk on the same books
Real stock levels with vendor-managed reordering, so the whole-bean shelf and the oat milk case are counted like inventory, not guessed at on a clipboard.
Every trade we have built for — or if yours is not among them, tell us what you run. That is the normal case.
ArkSlate Intelligence
This is what the pieces sharing one ledger actually buys you. Sales, stock, labour and payments sit in the same place, so ArkSlate can see what four disconnected apps structurally cannot — and it says something before it costs you.
See what's includedSupply intelligence
Oat milk runs out Thursday at current pace. Reorder 12 units to clear the weekend.
You already pay for all of this.
Just never in one place.
Every row is standard on every ArkSlate plan. The columns are what the category leaders put behind an add-on, a tier, or a sales call.

Nobody sells software to a business like ours. They sell it to a category, and then expect the business to change shape.
We got tired of paying five vendors — and a per-seat fee on every one of them — to run one small business, and of hearing that the thing we needed was on a different tier of a product built for someone else.
So we built the pieces instead of the category. Point of sale, dispatch, invoicing, inventory and the books, in one place, for one flat price, arranged however your business actually works. No add-on creep. No contracts. No charging you more every time you hire someone.
We are veteran-majority owned, and we run our own shops on this software. When it breaks, we feel it too — so we fix it fast and we pick up the phone. That is the whole promise.
