Industries

Built for the way your shop actually sells

The same platform, the same offline till, the same books — configured as the business you actually run. Here is what each kind of retailer uses, and which edition carries it.

Industries served

General merchandise & minimarts

Runs on the Retail edition

The queue moves faster when the till never stops. Corner shops, provision stores and minimarts get the whole product: barcode checkout, stock control, mobile money and the books — on a counter that keeps selling through a network cut or a lights-off afternoon.

  • Barcode billing at a counter that keeps working through a network cut
  • Cash, card, MoMo, credit or a mix — split across one sale when you need it
  • Reorder alerts so fast movers are back on the shelf before they run out
  • Per-role permissions and an audit trail that names who did what
  • Mobile money confirmed by the processor before the sale is booked

Fashion & apparel

Runs on the Retail edition

A dress is not one line — it is a grid of sizes and colours, each counted on its own. Boutiques and clothing stores track every variant separately, so you know that the navy medium is gone while the black large is piling up, and price and reorder each one for what it is.

  • Variants for size, colour and style, each with its own stock and price
  • See which sizes and colours sell and which sit, at a glance
  • Barcode shelf labels for anything you tag yourself
  • Discounts and returns handled cleanly, with a reason on every one
  • Loyalty points for the regulars who keep coming back

Phone & electronics shops

Runs on the Retail edition

When a customer walks back in with a fault, you need to know exactly what you sold and whether it is still covered. Capture the serial or IMEI at the sale, put a warranty period on the products that carry one, and look up any unit — who bought it, when, and how long is left.

  • Serial and IMEI capture at the point of sale, one per unit
  • A warranty period per product, and an expiry date per sold unit
  • A full claims workflow, with a lookup for any unit you sold
  • Variants for model, storage and colour, priced and counted apart
  • Mobile money confirmed by the processor before the sale is booked

Hardware & building supplies

Runs on the Retail edition

Cement by the bag, cable by the metre, contractors on account. Hardware stores sell in bulk and on credit, so units and customer balances have to be right. Set the units a product sells in, enforce credit limits where the sale happens, and hand a contractor a statement that matches yours.

  • Sell by the piece, the pack, the box or the metre from one product
  • Credit customers with running statements and limits the counter enforces
  • Purchase orders, goods receipt and supplier statements that match theirs
  • A4 invoices on your own letterhead for the trade accounts
  • A stock valuation you can pull on any day of the month

Cosmetics & beauty

Runs on the Retail edition

A shade is a variant, and a good customer is worth keeping. Beauty shops and cosmetics counters track every colour and size on its own, reward the regulars with loyalty points, and keep the fast-selling shades in stock with reorder alerts.

  • Variants for shade, size and range, each counted and priced on its own
  • Loyalty points you can adjust by hand when you need to
  • Reorder alerts so best sellers are never off the shelf
  • Batch and expiry for perishable lines, so short-dated stock is sold first
  • Customer profiles and purchase history for the people who return

Supermarkets & grocery

Runs on the Retail edition

High volume, thin margins, several tills at once, and stock that goes off. Supermarkets and grocers need speed at the checkout, more than one till on one catalogue, and batch and expiry on the perishable lines so short-dated stock leaves before it is written off.

  • Fast barcode checkout on several tills at once, all in step
  • Batch and expiry for perishable lines, so short-dated stock is sold first
  • Reorder alerts and a stocktake app to keep the shelves honest
  • Sales by seller and best-seller reports to read the aisles
  • Cash sessions and drawer counts that name every shortfall

Wholesale & distribution

Runs on the Wholesale & Distribution edition

Traders and distributors sell the same goods at different prices to different customers, on credit, out of more than one warehouse. The Wholesale edition adds price lists per customer class, credit customers with statements and limits, and multi-warehouse stock across the operation.

  • Price lists per customer class — retail, trade and distributor rates
  • Multiple warehouses with logged, attributed transfers between them
  • Credit customers with running statements and enforced limits
  • Bulk purchasing with goods receipt, supplier bills and statements
  • Profit and loss by item and by customer, cashflow and party statements

Online-first & social sellers

Runs on the Retail + Online Store edition

If you sell on WhatsApp and Instagram and dread the stock-and-money mess behind it, give customers a storefront they order and pay from, and confirm and deliver from one back office. Every online order lands in the same stock and the same books as a sale at the counter.

  • A storefront customers browse, order and pay from online
  • A confirm-and-deliver flow run from the same back office
  • One catalogue and one stock for online and the counter, never two
  • Online payment and mobile money settled into the same ledger
  • Add a physical counter whenever you open one — same account

Not sure where you fit?

Most shops are one of the segments above, and some are two at once — a boutique in town and a wholesale depot on the industrial estate is a common shape. Because the edition belongs to the branch, you do not have to choose one identity for the whole business.
