Retail & point of sale

Retail & Point of Sale

Sell at the counter, split payments across payment methods, close the day with a cash count, and keep stock and VAT right without re-keying a single sale.

One connected workflow

See the complete operational and financial picture

A shop lives or dies on the counter: fast billing, honest stock and an end-of-day cash figure that matches the drawer. eSolverBooks runs the point of sale on the same ledger as purchasing, inventory and VAT, so a sale at the till reduces stock, posts revenue and records the tax in one step. Point of Sale is part of the Enterprise plan, alongside the Windows desktop app that prints receipts silently.

The everyday problem

Where businesses like yours lose time and money

The drawer never matches the book

Cash sales, refunds and expenses paid from the till are written in different places. At closing time the count is off and nobody knows which entry is missing.

Stock is a guess

Items are sold at the counter and received at the back, but the stock list is updated when someone has time. Reordering follows shelves, not data.

Repeat customers are anonymous

A regular who buys on credit or returns an item cannot be found quickly, so staff rely on memory.

VAT is added up later

Tax on counter sales is calculated from receipts at month end, which is slow and error prone.

Core capabilities

Everything the workflow needs to stay connected

Quick counter sale

Build a sale in a few taps, apply discounts, take a split payment and print the receipt from the same screen.

Customer lookup by mobile

Find a returning customer by mobile number at the till so their history and balance are never a guess.

Sales history and reprint

Review the day's sales, reprint a receipt or void a sale from the sales history.

Daily cash close

Count the drawer, compare it with what the system expects and close the day with any difference visible.

Live stock behind every sale

Each sale draws down the item in the right store, so the next purchase decision starts from a true quantity.

VAT built into the bill

Product and category VAT profiles apply at the till, so tax reporting is a by-product of selling, not a separate chore.

How it works

A clear path from setup to reporting

01

Load the shop

Create products with prices and VAT profiles, receive opening stock into the store and set up the counter users.

02

Sell all day

Ring up sales, take cash or split payments, print receipts and look up customers by mobile number.

03

Close and review

Run the daily cash close, review sales history and read stock and profit reports before you open tomorrow.

Business outcomes

Turn connected records into practical control

A daily cash figure that is counted, not guessed

Stock that falls with every sale

Receipts and VAT without double entry

Counter staff working inside role limits

Compliance

Receipts, VAT and retail records

Retail businesses with a VAT registration need their sales to carry the right tax. eSolverBooks applies it at the point of sale rather than after.

  • VAT profiles on products and categories apply at the till; the standard rate is 15%.
  • POS sales post to the same ledger as invoices, so Mushak records and the Mushak-9.1 return include counter sales.
  • Sales history lets you review, reprint or void a sale from the same screen.
  • Whether your outlet needs particular registers or devices is a matter for NBR guidance; confirm with your adviser.
