Fast sales on regulated goods, full stock visibility
Fast barcode checkout, tight stock tracking and automatic e-Invoicing for regulated products like alcohol and tobacco. The same setup works from a one-person shop to a multi-branch retailer.
What happens on the ground, and Posmist's answer
01Alcohol/tobacco stock is counted by hand, shrinkage goes unnoticed
Barcode-based stock and low/critical threshold alerts give full visibility.
02Supplier invoices are entered by hand
Purchase invoices are fetched automatically via multiple integrators, stock/cost updates automatically.
03Credit tracking stays in a notebook
The customer-account module puts balance and payment history on one screen.
04No time for a long transaction at the counter
Scan the barcode, take the payment; shortcut keys mean a sale in two taps.
