Goods arrive, stock updates

A price agreed, tax added automatically

An instalment comes in, the balance drops

The day closes, the owner sees it all

Illustration: a delivery of toothpaste arrives, twenty-four more units are logged, and the shop's stock count updates from twelve to thirty-six. Sample data, not a real delivery.

Illustration: toothpaste's catalogue price of 600 francs is negotiated down to 500 at the till; vegetable oil sells at 1,500 francs; the subtotal is 2,000 francs; value-added tax at 19.25 percent, applied only if the shop charges it, adds 385 francs; the total is 2,385 francs. Sample amounts, not a real sale.

Illustration, a Growth-plan feature and above: Mama Ngo owed 12,000 francs on credit; she pays an instalment of 5,000 francs; her new balance is 7,000 francs; the shop is still owed 42,500 francs in total across its credit customers. Sample data.

Illustration: the Akwa branch took 184,500 francs today and the Bonapriso branch took 96,000 francs; the combined total for the day is 280,500 francs. Sample data, not a real shop's takings.

What it does

The four jobs of the day, done from one phone.

Scan to sell

Point the camera at the barcode. The item joins the sale, already priced. Take the payment, hand over the receipt.

Scan to stock

Scan the same barcode when goods arrive and enter how many came in. Stock stays right, on every shop.

See every shop

Today's takings by shop and by cashier, live, from wherever you are. Best sellers and dead stock, ranked.

Paid plans

Credit you can collect

Give trusted regulars a credit limit. Instalments tracked to the franc, and who owes what, before it ages.

Free to start. Really.

The Starter plan costs nothing, forever: one shop, the owner plus one cashier, receipts and daily reports. Bigger plans are there only if you grow into them.

Built in FCFA. Not converted into it.

Amounts, receipts and reports in FCFA and on Douala time, from the very first screen.

Selling never stops

Never lose a sale during a network outage. Keep scanning; everything catches up when the connection is back.

Built for the counter

The details that keep money in the shop.

Every shift closes on a real count.

The cashier counts the drawer note by note and coin by coin, without seeing what the till expects. Any gap shows, by cashier and by shift.

Bargain at the till, never at a loss.

Cashiers can agree a price with the customer, up to the limit you set. Going below cost needs a manager's PIN.

Know before the shelf is empty.

Low-stock alerts for each product in each shop, so restocking is planned, not rushed.

Your team, your rules.

Owner, manager, stock manager and cashier each see and do only what their role allows.

Paid plans

The day's close, in your inbox.

When a shift closes, the takings and the count arrive by email, wherever you are.

Paid plans

A file for your accountant, not a notebook.

Sage 100 and CSV exports that follow the SYSCOHADA chart of accounts, in one tap.

Your first sale is five minutes away

All you need is your smartphone.
