Departments and shelf items

Group the catalog by department and aisle, and price items by unit, pack or weight. UPC and PLU codes keep the checkout fast, and age-restricted products are flagged before they can be sold.

Best-before, FEFO and shrinkage

Perishables arrive as batches with best-before dates. The floor screen sweeps what expires next, picking follows first-expiry-first-out, and every markdown, damage or waste write-off records a reason on the immutable movement trail.

Promotions, clubs and slots

Run multi-buy and time-boxed promotions, keep shopper clubs on recurring plans, and offer click-and-collect or delivery windows through the scheduling module.

Receiving and suppliers

Purchasing is switched on by default so deliveries are received against purchase orders, with supplier returns and cost updates flowing straight into stock valuation.
