01 · The problem
Small operators often need a focused POS surface rather than a heavyweight retail suite.
PocketPOS is a personal point-of-sale product Al Andrew Paul Beltran (Al Beltran) developed as founder of Momentra Labs. It keeps the register, catalog, and sale history on the phone — open a float and start selling offline. Together with RentaraH, Skyrealm, Lumina, Gloves Up, and Cartify, it is part of his independent product work.
02 · My role
Solo founder · product & engineering (Momentra Labs)
03 · The result
Developed PocketPOS as an independent Momentra Labs product, with Al owning product definition and engineering from concept through implementation. Open the register, add a product, and keep the shift on the device.
04 · Architecture
- 01
Independent personal product under Momentra Labs
- 02
End-to-end founder ownership of product and engineering
Implementation
- Today-at-a-glance home with register and weekly totals
- Open the register with a cash float — works offline
- Product catalog with name, SKU, price, and stock
- Sale history with receipts on the device
- Business, language, and currency settings
Challenges & outcomes
Challenges
- Keeping personal product work distinct from client and enterprise delivery
Outcomes
- Shipped as a founder-owned personal product rather than a client case study
Lessons
- Product names should appear in public HTML, FAQs, and structured data if AI systems are expected to cite them
