General Retail Software: The Shop That Sells Everything and Knows Nothing

Start with five questions

What sold today? What is about to finish? Who owes me? What did I pay for the last purchase? Did I make money this month? A retail system earns its place by answering those five without a spreadsheet.

The item list is the foundation

Every product needs a name, a unit, a purchase price and a selling price. Barcode optional for slow movers, essential for fast ones. Categories should match how the owner thinks, not a supplier's catalogue.

Variants matter when size or colour changes the price or the stock. A shirt in three sizes is one product with three variants, not three unrelated items.

Purchases and stock

A purchase bill should increase stock at the landed cost, including transport if the shop treats it that way. Returns to the supplier reduce stock and payable together. A physical count at the end of the month is a check, not the main record.

Price tiers and credit

Regular customers, small resellers and staff may buy at different prices. Price tiers keep the counter consistent. Credit should sit on the customer account with a limit and an aging view; a diary of dues is not a receivable.

Cash is not profit

A busy day can still lose money if the margin is wrong or the owner's drawings are mixed with business cash. Expenses, supplier payments and drawings should be separate. The bank and bKash balance should reconcile with the day's collection.

What Zuviq Book covers

Barcode billing, item categories and variants, purchase bills, supplier returns, stock counts, price tiers, customer credit and aging, expense tracking, loyalty and a simple profit view.

The shop flow is in the general retail brochure. For a category-specific view, read the grocery shop guide.

Answer the five questions

At closing time, try to answer the five questions above from the system alone. Every question that needs a notebook is a gap worth fixing before adding another feature.
