Frequently asked questions
Common enquiries regarding point of sale software in Bhutan.
What is Lifeline POS?
Lifeline POS is an online business management system developed in Bhutan by Lifeline Technology. It covers counter billing, inventory, purchasing, GST invoicing and reporting, and may be extended to restaurant, hotel, tour, accounting, online catalogue and payroll operations. Each client is provided with its own web address, and records are held entirely separately from those of other clients.
Does it produce GST tax invoices with our TPN?
The Point of Sale package prints your configured TPN and GST details on tax invoices. Thermal receipts and A4 invoices are both supported, and GST figures are available in the reports.
How much does a POS system cost in Bhutan?
Lifeline POS is licensed as an annual or monthly plan in ngultrum, together with a one-time setup charge. The amount depends on the functions your business requires, and each plan is therefore quoted individually. Please contact us with your requirements and we will confirm the renewal and setup charges prior to any commitment.
What happens if the internet connection is lost?
The online edition requires an internet connection. A separate Windows edition is available for counter billing at locations where internet access is unreliable; please contact us to discuss requirements.
Which types of business use Lifeline POS?
The Point of Sale package serves retail and wholesale operations. Separate packages support restaurants, hotels, tour operators, accounting, human resources and payroll, and an online catalogue. Availability is determined by the plan selected.
How long does implementation take?
Registration and email verification are completed first. Once the application is approved, the business is configured at its own web address with records held separately. The remaining time depends on the functions covered by the plan and the volume of existing item and customer data to be transferred.
Are our records kept separate from those of other businesses?
Yes. Each client’s records are held entirely separately rather than all businesses sharing a single set — your items, customers, sales and reports are never combined with those of another business. Within your own organisation, you determine which staff may access which screens.

Please contact us with your operational requirements and we will advise on the appropriate plan and provide a quotation.
