Solutions
Start from the setup closest to how you work.
When you create a business you pick a template. It decides how items are counted, which units and fields you start with, and which parts of the app are switched on. It doesn’t lock anything: all of it can be changed later in Settings.
Below are the trades we’ve written up in detail, with what each one gets and what it doesn’t.

How the templates differ
Underneath, every business runs on the same engine. The differences are in how stock is counted and what you record about it.
| Industry | Counted by | Extra units | Fields it adds | Beyond inventory, purchasing and sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retail shops | Quantity; weight and batches for grocery | Packet, bag (grocery) | Brand, origin | Point of Sale |
| Wholesale and distribution | Quantity | Carton = 24 pieces | Brand, model | Wholesale price list by default |
| Electronics, mobile and repairs | Serial number per unit | — | IMEI, warranty, RAM, storage, processor | Point of Sale, Repairs |
| Hardware and building supplies | Quantity; serials for power tools | Bag, ton, cubic feet (construction) | Size, material, voltage, power, grade | Point of Sale |
| Clothing and footwear | Variant per size and colour | — | Size, colour, gender, season, material | Point of Sale |
| Jewellery | Serial per piece; weight for raw metal | Tola, milligram, carat, ounce | Metal, purity, weights, stone, making charge, wastage | Point of Sale |
| Rentals | Serial per rental unit | — | Daily rate, deposit | Rentals |
The places are the same everywhere
Whatever the template, stock lives in warehouses, and a warehouse can be divided into zones, aisles, racks, shelves and bins. Every receipt, sale, transfer and count is written to the same movement ledger.
Shelving bays tagged with location codes, holding cartons and bins; one bay is marked as tracked.
