Lavenite Petite
Industry: Bakhoor & Fragrances
Use case: Events, pop-ups, online-first business

Lavenite Petite is a homegrown fragrance brand that began during the COVID period, when its founder started creating and selling bakhoor and fragrance products from home. What started as a small, home-based business quickly gained traction online, with customers discovering the brand through digital channels and word of mouth.

To broaden its customer database, Lavenite Petite started participating in events, exhibitions, and pop-ups, so the brand could meet customers in person while staying agile and cost-efficient.

The Challenge

Running a pop-up-based business comes with a unique set of challenges.

Each event is temporary, space is often limited, and operations need to be set up quickly. Managing products, taking payments, and tracking sales manually across multiple events would have added unnecessary complexity, especially for a growing brand that started online.

Accepting both card and cash payments was essential, as event audiences use a mix of payment methods. At the same time, the founder needed a way to ensure that all sales were recorded accurately and available online, without relying on manual reconciliation after every event.

Without the right system, tracking performance across events and understanding overall business growth would have been difficult.

The Solution

To support her event-based operations, Lavenite Petite chose Fortis SmartPOS.

Fortis SmartPOS allowed the founder to load the full product catalog directly into the device, making it easy to select products, take orders, and process payments at events. With payments and POS functionality combined into a single handheld device, setup at each pop-up was quick and hassle-free.

Most importantly, Fortis enabled Lavenite Petite to accept and record both card and cash payments on the same system. Every transaction was automatically tracked and synced online, removing the need for manual calculations or spreadsheets after each event.

Operations at Events and Pop-Ups

With Fortis SmartPOS, products were easy to access, transactions were processed quickly, and customers could pay using their preferred method. The simple interface meant there was no learning curve, allowing the founder to focus on engaging with customers and building the brand.

As sales happened throughout the event, all data was recorded automatically. After the event, the founder could log into the dashboard to review sales, understand performance, and track growth across multiple pop-ups, all without manual reconciliation.

The Impact

Fortis SmartPOS helped Lavenite Petite scale its event-based business with confidence.

The brand benefited from:

• A simple, portable POS setup ideal for pop-ups and events
• Easy management of products and sales at temporary locations
• Seamless acceptance of card and cash payments
• Automatic online recording of all transactions
• No manual reconciliation after events

What could have been an operational headache became a smooth, repeatable process across every event.

Why Fortis SmartPOS

For online-first brands that grow through events and pop-ups, flexibility is critical. Fortis SmartPOS gave Lavenite Petite the structure of a full POS system without tying the business to a fixed location or complex setup.

Fortis SmartPOS combined payments, product management, and reporting into one device, and allowed Lavenite Petite to maintain control, visibility, and simplicity, even while operating across multiple events.

Conclusion

For Lavenite Petite, Fortis SmartPOS made it possible to scale through pop-ups and events while keeping operations simple and organised. From accepting payments to tracking sales and performance online, Fortis helped Lavenite Petite to handle events without any hassle.
