Small garment shops in Pakistan

Small garment shops in Pakistan usually run on paper registers and memory. I built a complete inventory and point-of-sale system for a wholesale and retail garment shop that replaces that with one dashboard, in English and Urdu.

Sales: a POS screen where staff scan a barcode, sell to a customer and print a thermal receipt. F1 opens a new sale.

Stock in and out: incoming shipments from mills and factories update stock automatically, and each sale reduces it. Every item has a minimum level. When stock falls below it, the item shows up in a reorder queue, so the owner knows what to order before it runs out.

Products: each item has a barcode, supplier, category, fabric notes, image, cost price and retail price. The system calculates gross margin as you enter prices. Products can be bulk-imported or exported from a spreadsheet template.

The shop’s accounts: customer credit ledgers (khata), supplier dues, a daily cash book (rokad), shop expenses (kharch such as rent, wages and electricity), a daily closing report (hisab), and profit reports (nafa). Labels are in both Urdu and English, so staff use it in the language they already work in.
