Umbra builds the systems that let multi-branch retail and F&B brands see every store, connect every system, and keep operating when conditions change. 129 locations across three countries run on them today.
As of September 2026.
Multi-location retail across three countries. Seven brands on one backbone. Complex is where we do our best work.
Umbra is a Philippine retail operations technology company. We build custom systems for multi-branch retail, F&B, and consumer brands across the Philippines and Southeast Asia - brands that have outgrown generic, off-the-shelf software. Retail is where we work. The same problems - many branches, many systems, one view - show up in any multi-site operation.
Four jobs every complex operation needs done. We build the systems for all four.
Point-of-sale, in-store systems, inventory, and ERP that keep every location trading - including the ones you haven't opened yet. Store systems run on a local server, so they keep selling without an internet connection. Our POS is BIR-accredited for retail and F&B.

Built to keep working
On November 18, 2025, a Cloudflare outage took websites and apps offline around the world. Every store running Umbra systems kept trading.
Everything a store needs to sell - including the POS - runs on a local server inside the store. No internet required.
The only thing affected was the tablets customers use to sign for their prescription glasses at pickup. Staff switched to paper backup forms for the few hours it was down, and the store systems synced everything once the connection came back. Nothing was lost.

Illustration of our store architecture - not live data.
Sunnies runs 129 locations across the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam on Umbra systems. Each market runs its own store setup. Headquarters sees all of it in one set of dashboards.
Seven brands - eyewear, beauty, optical, and cafes - on one operating backbone.
We sit with your team and map how the operation actually runs - before anything is designed or priced.
We plan the system around your locations, your workflows, and the systems you already have.
Our in-house team of 40 builds it and rolls it out without stopping trading. New stores have every system installed before opening - in 30 minutes or less - so data flows from the first sale. Upgrades happen after closing time, and the store opens the next morning on the new system.
We stay after launch. Our team maintains 12 production systems today.
Eight questions to ask before buying an offline POS in the Philippines - where transactions are stored, what stops when the internet drops, payments, sync, BIR and mall accreditation, and store setup - from Umbra, whose in-store systems kept every Sunnies store trading through the November 2025 Cloudflare outage.
Seven signs a multi-branch business in the Philippines has outgrown off-the-shelf software, when packaged tools are still the right choice, and what moving to custom involves - from Umbra, the Quezon City operational technology company behind Sunnies' 300+ branches across 7 brands in the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
Most retail and multi-location businesses in Southeast Asia already generate the data they need to make sharper decisions - it's scattered across a dozen systems that were never meant to talk to each other. Umbra Digital builds custom connectors to unify fragmented POS, inventory, e-commerce, and operations data into a single dashboard layer, giving business leaders a real view of their operations - often for the first time.
