Stock & purchase
Most billing apps stop at a quantity.
Which is fine until the quantity is eleven strips, four of which expire this month, two of which came in at a different rate, and one of which is at the other branch.
Where stock actually loses money
Not theft, usually. Three quieter things: goods that expire on the shelf, goods bought at a cost nobody worked out properly, and goods reordered on a hunch.
Expiry, on the counter screen
Batches carry their own expiry, and the allocator sends out the one expiring first. What lapses in the next thirty days is on the billing screen while you can still sell it at a discount — not in a month-end report, by which time it is a write-off.
Landed cost, not invoice cost
Freight, insurance, duty and unloading spread across the consignment by value or by weight. A margin calculated on the invoice price is a margin that is wrong by exactly the amount you paid the transporter.
Reorder from days-of-sale
Not a fixed minimum somebody set two years ago. How fast it actually moves, how long the supplier actually takes, and what is already on order — which is why the purchase list has the slow-moving item on it once and the fast one every week.
In detail
Batches, expiry and MRP
Per-batch quantity, expiry, cost and MRP. Required for a medical, useful for a bakery, and quietly valuable for cosmetics and agri inputs.
Serial and IMEI
For mobiles, electronics and anything with a warranty. Sold serial to sold customer, so a warranty claim is a lookup.
Variants
Size, colour and fit as a matrix rather than as forty separate items, so a garment shop can actually count what it has.
Purchase orders and receipt
Raise, receive against, short-supply as short supply. Auto-PO from the reorder list, which you approve rather than type.
Godowns and transfers
Stock by location, transfer with a challan, and stock in transit that is neither here nor there but is somewhere.
Wastage and adjustment
Every correction carries a reason. Shrinkage with a cause is a problem you can solve; shrinkage without one is just a number that makes you unhappy.
Physical count
Count on the phone, aisle by aisle, with the difference and its value shown before you commit it.
Master catalogue
Most Indian FMCG barcodes are already known, with name, pack size and HSN — so a new shop is not typing two thousand items before it can sell one.
What this will not do
It does not do bill-of-materials for a manufacturing plant with multi-level assemblies and routings. Recipes for a kitchen and simple job work, yes. A factory floor, no.
And no software can count what nobody counted. The physical count is easier here; it is still somebody walking down an aisle on a Sunday.
One plan. All of it.
Not a tier, not a trial. Start with one spoken sentence and see how far it goes before you decide anything.
One month, everything included. No card to start. Cancel inside the month and you are not billed.
