🏛️ Under Accreditation

ESDC for CloudPOS.vu

A software-based External Sales Data Controller for Vanuatu fiscalization — invoices signed locally on a government TaxCore secure element, online or offline. The full SDC Analyzer conformance suite has been passed and the product is now under official accreditation review.

Manufactured by ReefStack Technologies

Why E-SDC?

Vanuatu requires every business to issue digitally signed fiscal invoices. Without an E-SDC, every sale needs an internet round-trip to the cloud — and stops when the connection drops.

📶

Works Offline

Sign invoices on the smart card with no internet. Queue encrypted audit data and sync automatically when you reconnect.

⚡

Instant Signing

No per-invoice network round-trip. No PAC code per sale. The card signs locally in milliseconds.

🛡️

Full TaxCore Compliance

QR verification URLs, fiscal journals, AES-256 encrypted audit packages, all TaxCore command types — built to spec.

Key Features

Everything needed for compliant fiscalization, in one small Windows application.

🔑

Local Smart-Card Signing

Every receipt is signed by the government TaxCore secure element — a legal fiscal document, no cloud dependency.

🖥️

System Tray Application

Runs quietly in the background. Status, PIN entry, taxes, and audit progress — all visible from the tray icon.

💾

USB Local-Audit Fallback

If the internet is down for a long time, offload queued invoices to a USB stick and deliver physically.

📦

Single Executable

No installer, no runtime dependencies. Copy one ~5 MB .exe to the PC and run.

📊

Dual Logging

A 10 MB debug log for troubleshooting, plus a separate 30-day accreditation error log — both human-readable.

🇻🇺

Built for Vanuatu

Pre-seeded with Vanuatu tax rates. Integrates with CloudPOS.vu out of the box over loopback HTTP.

How It Works

The E-SDC sits between CloudPOS.vu and the smart card, signing invoices locally and syncing audit data when online.

  Normal sale → sign on card → return receipt → queue audit → sync later
