Still paying a Sankyu renewal every year? There’s a smoother way to run your gold shop.
Mayam POS does what your counter staff actually need — lock today’s gold rate, sell by weight, handle trade-ins, issue e-invoices — with fewer clicks, from any browser. When you’re ready, we move your Sankyu data for you.
Mayam POS is a cloud-based point-of-sale and management platform for gold and jewellery shops in Malaysia. It runs in any browser, locks the daily gold rate for every sale, prices by weight with tiered workmanship, guides trade-ins and issues LHDN e-invoices — and your existing Sankyu data is imported when you switch.
Why gold shops are starting to switch
Sankyu has served Malaysian gold shops for a long time and offers a broad product range — system, RFID, analytics, members. But it was built as a Windows desktop system, and that shows in three places:
- 01
Annual renewals. You pay for the licence every year, and integrations — website, CRM, accounting — are counted as separate projects.
- 02
No open API. Your customer list, stock and sales stay locked inside Sankyu. Connecting a website or a WhatsApp CRM means paying the vendor to build a bridge.
- 03
A slow counter. Every extra screen and confirmation adds seconds to each sale. On a weekend, with customers queuing, seconds turn into customers walking out.
Mayam was designed from the gold-shop counter outwards — then everything else.
Side by side
What each system offers, feature by feature. Where both sides do the job, we say so.

What changes at the counter
Fewer clicks at the counter
A gold sale in Mayam: scan the item → weight confirmed → price shown → payment → invoice. No hunting through menus. Staff learn it in an afternoon, not a week.
The whole shop, not just the counter
Members, tiers, stock per branch, transfers, buyback records and reports — all in one place. And because Mayam has an API, your website catalogue and WhatsApp broadcasts can read the same data instead of a copy someone keys in again.

Compliance built in, not bolted on
E-invoice submission and accounting sync are part of the daily flow. Close the day and your books are already up to date.
Bring your data with you
We’ve already built an importer for Sankyu exports. Members, stock items and transaction history move through a mapped, verified migration — you get a reconciliation report showing every record matched before go-live.
How the switch works
- 1
Demo and fit check (20 minutes, online or at your shop)
- 2
We import your Sankyu export into a trial account
- 3
Your staff try it with real data for a week
- 4
Go live on a quiet weekday — we’re at the shop on the first day
Timing tip: most shops switch 1–2 months before their Sankyu renewal date so there’s no double payment.
Questions gold shops ask before switching
