Till, stock and supplier orders that agree.
Sell at the till with your own prices and promotions, refill the shelves from the back room, and reorder from the cheapest supplier in whole packs. The day's takings reconcile in Books before you close.
Three classic problems, solved
Counts by shelf and store, with differences explained.
Reorder points, and purchase orders from the shortfall.
Bank and M-Pesa in one register in Books.
A till that counts up every shift.
Each till opens a shift with a float. At close the cash is counted, and a difference needs a reason. Cashier discounts have a limit, and a reason too.
- Shop-scale barcodes for goods sold by weight or price
- One open shift per till
- Every sale comes off stock as it happens
| Shift | Till | Sales | Cash-up |

| TS-0231 | Till 1 | 86,200 | Balanced |
| TS-0232 | Till 2 | 64,950 | Short 200 · reason given |
