POS and stock control for Sri Lankan retail shops

The problems

What this trade actually struggles with.

The queue builds up at the counter

Most of the delay is looking up a product or working out a price. Barcode entry with rules-based pricing turns a bill into a few seconds, and it stops depending on which staff member is on the till.

Stock in the book never matches stock on the shelf

When sales and goods received update the same record, the count stops drifting. You reorder before you run out, and shrinkage becomes a number you can see instead of a suspicion.

You do not know which products actually earn

Fast-moving is not the same as profitable. Margin by product and category usually turns up at least one line that has been quietly losing money for a year.

Supplier dues are tracked on paper

A supplier ledger tied to goods received tells you what you owe and against which delivery, which is a much shorter conversation when the rep arrives.

What you get

The parts built for this trade.

• Fast barcode billing

  Scan, bill, print. Held bills, split payment, returns and refunds handled at the counter.

• Label and barcode printing

  Generate and print shelf and product labels for items that arrive without usable barcodes.

• Goods received notes

  Book in deliveries against purchase orders so stock and supplier dues update together.

• Low-stock alerts

  Reorder points per product, so the reminder arrives before the shelf is empty.

• Staff accounts and audit trail

  Every discount, void and refund attached to a person and a time. Arguments end faster with a record.

• Day-end cash-up

  One report reconciling sales, payment types and the cash drawer at closing.

Underneath it is the same system we build for every trade — POS, stock, orders and reporting. What changes is the layer on top.

Questions

What people in this trade ask.

Will it work if the internet goes down?

Billing continues at the counter and syncs when the connection returns. Losing the line should never stop you serving a customer.

Can we use our existing scanner and printer?

Usually. Send us the models before you buy anything and we will confirm.

How long does it take to get running?

For a single shop, typically three to six weeks from scope to live, including loading your real product list and training staff on site.

What about multiple branches?

Multi-branch stock, transfers and per-branch reporting are part of the Business package. Start with one branch and add the others once it is bedded in.
