One commercial record

Sales, stock, customers, staff and reports connected.

Daily business problems

Where manual records usually break down

  • Fast-moving essentials are difficult to count accurately when sales are written by hand.
  • Customer credit, supplier balances and daily expenses can disappear across different notebooks.
  • The owner may know the cash collected but not which products, costs or stock movements produced it.

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

Prepare the product categories, selling prices, opening quantities and barcodes used at the counter.

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

Prepare the customer accounts that need sale history, deposits, credit balances or statements.

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 is suitable for shops that need sales, stock, credit, purchasing and reports. It does not replace specialised mobile-money float management or full accounting software.
