Industries

Retail

Sizes, colours, serial numbers and suppliers. The catalogue is the hard part, and the shelf has to agree with it.

Switched on for retail.

These are the modules your trade is provisioned with. The rest of the software is there for every shop; these are the ones that exist because of what you do.

Online selling

The same catalogue and the same stock, published to your own site, with orders landing beside the walk-in trade rather than in a separate inbox.

  • Publish the catalogue

    Choose whether stock counts are exposed, and which outlet fulfils online orders.

  • Orders in one queue

    Accept them by hand or automatically, and fulfil them from the inventory screens.

  • WordPress plugin

    A storefront plugin for the site you already have, rather than a second website to maintain.

  • Storefront API

    Keys and an embeddable storefront for sites that are not WordPress.

General retail store, Clothing and fashion, Footwear, Electronics and mobile, Furniture and home, Books and stationery, Toys and games, Sports and outdoor, Gift shop or souvenirs

Everything it does

Service orders

For trades where the customer leaves something behind, or books time rather than buying an item: a car, a suit, a laptop, a treatment, a class.

  • Intake and quote

    What came in, what it needs, what it will cost, agreed before the work starts.

  • Parts and labour

    Parts drawn off stock at cost and labour as its own line, on one job.

  • Status

    Where every job is, so the question on the phone has an answer.

  • Collection

    Handed back and paid for at the same till as everything else.

Everything it does

What each trade is given on day one.

The actual provisioning defaults. Categories seed your catalogue, the reasons appear wherever stock is adjusted, and the modules decide which screens exist. All of it can be renamed, added to or removed afterwards.

Why it is shaped this way.

Variants that stock correctly

Size and colour are sellable rows in their own right, so the shelf, the barcode and the sale line all point at the same thing.

Buying as well as selling

Purchase orders raised against a supplier, received with the discrepancy recorded rather than quietly accepted.

And everything every shop gets.

Whatever the trade, the same till, the same ledger, the same reports and the same audit log.
