Daily business problems
Where manual records usually break down
- Similar shades, sizes and brands are easily confused when products are recorded generically.
- Cosmetics may have batches and expiry dates that require better stock rotation.
- Retail buyers and salon resellers often need different prices and customer records.

Prepare the trial
Set up the test with accurate starting data
A useful trial should reproduce a real day in the business, not a demonstration catalogue that hides the difficult parts.
01
Catalogue and selling rules
List the product categories and the exact size, colour, brand, model or style options that must remain separate in stock.
02
Opening stock and suppliers
Use a recent stock count and current supplier balances. Avoid importing estimated quantities that will immediately weaken the reports.
03
Customers and pricing
Separate ordinary retail buyers from wholesale or trade customers and confirm the prices that apply to each group.
04
Staff access and closing reports
Create separate staff users, assign only the required permissions and agree on the reports used to close or hand over each day.
Fit boundary
FortyPOS manages commercial inventory and sales. It does not provide beauty consultations, ingredient compliance databases or salon appointment booking.
