ScanSewa’s cloud-first, AI-powered infrastructure transformed how restaurants, retailers, and service businesses operate — delivering 99.9% uptime, real-time analytics, and lightning-fast performance across Nepal.

Overview

ScanSewa is more than a POS system — it is a nationwide digital infrastructure designed to power Nepal’s restaurants, cafes, retail chains, supermarkets, clinics, hotels, and local businesses. Built by Lacspace, ScanSewa delivers enterprise-grade speed, reliability, and intelligence to every corner of Nepal — from high-traffic city malls to small district eateries.

Its infrastructure is engineered to handle thousands of daily transactions, rapid menu updates, multi-branch management, and real-time analytics with near-zero downtime. Today, ScanSewa powers modern operations for hundreds of businesses and continues to expand at record speed.

The Infrastructure Behind the Revolution

ScanSewa runs on a robust multi-layer architecture designed for resilience and global scalability:

  • Frontend: React, React Native, Expo
  • Backend Core: Node.js · Express · Microservices
  • Database Layer: MongoDB Atlas · Redis caching
  • Cloud Hosting: Amazon AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront, Load Balancing)
  • Messaging Queue: RabbitMQ for event-driven sync
  • Real-time Engine: WebSockets · Socket.io
  • Analytics & AI Layer: Lacspace AI · ML-powered demand prediction · User behavior analysis

This infrastructure enables ScanSewa to support multi-branch enterprises, high-volume orders, and nationwide scale — all while keeping performance smooth and consistent.

Real-Time Sync Across Every Device

Whether it's kitchen screens, billing counters, waiter handhelds, or the owner's dashboard — every action in ScanSewa syncs instantly. A new order appears in the kitchen within milliseconds. Payments reflect instantly in the admin panel. Inventory adjusts in real time across all branches.

This is powered by a combination of Socket.io and event-driven microservices — ensuring ultra-responsive communication even during network fluctuations.

Database Architecture Built for Speed

ScanSewa stores data in a smartly partitioned structure:

  • Order Clusters for high-speed reads
  • Inventory Shards for multi-branch operations
  • Billing Collections optimized for export
  • User Analytics Streams for behavioral patterns

Combined with Redis caching, reports that normally take 10–15 seconds on traditional POS systems load in under 700ms.

Secure, Reliable & Enterprise-Ready

Security has always been the core of ScanSewa's architecture:

  • End-to-end encrypted communication
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
  • Daily automated backups & recovery
  • Threat monitoring with AWS GuardDuty

These safeguards ensure that even high-profile hotels and enterprise chains trust ScanSewa with their daily operations.

Multi-Sector Support — One Infrastructure, Many Industries

What started as a restaurant-focused POS has evolved into a multi-industry digital backbone. ScanSewa now powers:

  • 🍽 Restaurants & Cafes
  • 🛍 Retail Shops & Boutiques
  • 🏨 Hotels & Hospitality
  • 🏥 Clinics & Pharmacies
  • 🎟 Event Halls & Ticketing
  • 🛒 Malls & Supermarkets
  • 🧾 Billing & GST/Tax Compliance Systems

This versatility is possible because ScanSewa’s infrastructure is modular. New features can be plugged into the system without affecting performance — a rare capability in Nepal’s POS ecosystem.

Nationwide Impact

ScanSewa’s infrastructure has transformed operations for hundreds of businesses with measurable improvements:

  • 55% faster order processing
