The counter bills on a phone, the office works on a laptop, the owner checks from home. All three have to be looking at the same books.
Businesses outgrow a single device faster than they expect: a second counter, a delivery person, someone doing purchase entry in the back. Software tied to one machine forces a choice about who gets to work.
With the books in the cloud, the device stops mattering. A bill raised at the counter is on the laptop when the office opens it, and the stock figure the owner sees at home is the one the shop just changed.

The app itself, wherever you use it: Android, iOS, the browser and Windows, kept in step so a bill raised on the counter phone is on the office laptop a moment later. The language, the notifications and the work that runs in the background live here too.
You notice this area when you switch devices, hand the phone to a staff member who reads another language, or expect a reminder to have gone out while the app was closed.
