Daily business problems
Where manual records usually break down
- Different cable sizes, fittings and light models are easy to misidentify at the counter.
- Some products sell by piece, coil, roll or measured length.
- Contractors require quotations, trade pricing and credit balances that need control.

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
Identify retail, wholesale and quotation customers, then confirm who may buy on credit and how balances will be followed.
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 sales and inventory. It does not perform electrical design, bills of quantities or installation project management.
