What is holding your business back
Your information lives in five places
Sales at the till, inventory in a spreadsheet, purchasing in a notebook. Nothing matches anything.
You don't know what's in the stockroom
You find out a product ran out when a customer is already asking for it.
Closing the till eats your evening
Balancing cash, cards and notes by hand at the end of the day — and it still doesn't add up.
One platform to run your business
- Sell at the counter, at the table or for delivery from the same system
- Deduct stock automatically, per location, with every sale and every purchase
- Record purchases and suppliers, and keep your costs up to date
- Close the till with the cash count and reports already worked out
- See sales, costs and profit by location
- Manage every location from a single account
Why FlowPOS rather than a notebook or a generic app
| Criterion | FlowPOS | Notebook | Generic app |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sending the receipt over WhatsApp | The customer gets their receipt on WhatsApp as the sale closes | Hands over a slip of paper written by hand | Typically prints or emails only |
| Inventory kept current | Deducted automatically with every sale, per location | Requires counting by hand to know what is left | Depends on the plan; often charged separately |
| Several tills in one location | Multiple simultaneous tills, each with its own close | One notebook per till, balanced by hand | Frequently limited to one till per location |
| Multiple locations | All in a single account, with consolidated reporting | One notebook per location, nothing consolidated | Usually one subscription charged per location |
| Purchasing and costs | Records purchases and suppliers, and updates each product's cost | Purchases noted separately, with no current cost | Many record sales only |
| Support over WhatsApp | You talk to our team on WhatsApp | Not applicable | Email or chat, often in another time zone |
