POS software for supermarkets and hypermarkets

Running a supermarket well is mostly about consistency. The same price on the shelf, the same offer at every counter and the same stock figure in the office. Getting the setup right at the start is what makes that possible.

Setup checklist

1. Install the server on a dedicated shop PC. Add each counter as a terminal on the store network.
2. Import your full item list from Excel or CSV in batches. Check barcodes, units and both cost and sale prices before you go live.
3. Organise items by department, category and brand. Promotions use these groups.
4. Set up user roles for cashiers, supervisors and managers. Give each role only the screens it needs.
5. Enter expiry dates on every received batch, starting with chilled and fast-moving lines.
6. Set reorder levels for your top sellers so the reorder list is useful from the first week.
7. Test one full day across two or three counters: sell, void with a reason, process a return, close shifts.

What to track every week

• Sales by hour, so you can roster cashiers for the busy slots.
• Margin by department, and the items that are sold at a loss.
• Expiry watch: stock that is close to its date.
• Supplier dues and purchase returns.
• Cash differences by shift.

Multiple branches and self-checkout: multi-branch setups are part of the Business plan. Self-checkout kiosks are not a listed feature, so ask our team before you plan one.
