A till for a shop where one mistake is expensive
In an electronics shop a single line can be worth a week of a grocery counter, which changes what the software has to be careful about. SalezFlow POS makes charging other than the shelf price a recorded decision somebody approved, keeps supplier credit and purchase orders straight, reprints any bill years later as warranty proof, and shows the margin on each product rather than the takings.
What goes wrong today
Three things this trade loses money on.
The price is negotiated, and then nobody knows what happened
Set a floor and a ceiling per product and the till cannot be talked below the floor. Charging anything other than the shelf price needs a manager's password typed in at the counter, the bill records what it would have cost, and the discount is reportable instead of invisible. Set a cap on the whole bill and going past it takes an approval too — including for the owner, because a cap that binds everyone is the only kind worth having.
Warranty claims turn into an argument about the date
Every bill is kept with its lines, its serial-numbered batch reference where you use one, and the customer it was sold to. Search by bill number or by customer, reprint the receipt at the counter, and the question of what was bought and when stops being a conversation.
Supplier credit is tracked in your head
Raise an order, receive it partly or in full, pay some of it at the door and leave the rest on account. What you owe each supplier is a running balance with the invoices behind it, and sending goods back brings the payable down rather than leaving it to be remembered.
What you get
Everything a electronics runs on.
One app, one price. Nothing here is an add-on, and nothing here is a promise the download breaks.
Price bands and manager approval
A floor and a ceiling per product, a cap on the whole bill, and a manager's approval typed in at the till for anything outside them. The cashier stays signed in, the bill keeps their name, and the approver is recorded.
Purchase orders and supplier accounts
Raise an order, send it by print, PDF or WhatsApp, receive it in one click, and pay all, some or none of it at the goods-in door. Purchase returns bring the payable down with them.
Returns and exchanges that reconcile
A return refunds the right share of a discounted bill, tax included, and puts the goods back in stock. An exchange settles the difference in one operation, and both come off the customer's account where the sale went on it.
Any bill, reprinted, years later
Bill history is searchable by number, date, customer and cashier. A reprint gives the receipt exactly as it was handed over, including a price that was overridden and the batch a line came from.
Margin per product, not just takings
What each product made after returns, at the cost it actually carried on the day it sold. A supplier price rise next month cannot rewrite last month's profit.
Staff who see only their job
Owner, manager, cashier, or roles you write yourself. Buying prices and margin never reach a till at all — they are reported to the people you grant reports to, and to nobody else.
Questions
What a electronics usually asks.
Can I stop staff selling below a floor price?
Yes. Each product takes a minimum and a maximum, and the till will not write a line outside them. Zero means unset, so nothing changes for products you never band.
Does the cashier see what an item cost me?
No. Cost and margin never travel to the till at all. They are reported as totals to whoever holds the reports permission, which by default is a manager and above.
Can I take a deposit and collect the rest later?
Yes — a bill can be part paid, with the remainder going onto the customer's account as a receivable, and the payment recorded against it when it comes in. Each customer can have a ceiling the till enforces.
How do I keep track of individual units?
Stock is tracked in dated lots, so a delivery becomes a lot with its own number and its own cost, and the bill records which lot a line came from. It is lot-level rather than one row per unit — worth knowing before you plan around it.
Put your own products in and pull the cable.
That is the whole argument, and it takes an afternoon. Install it, enter twenty real lines, ring up a sale with the network unplugged, and take a backup.
