A ladies' ethnic wear store: a customer in a pink embroidered lehenga with a sales assistant, sarees folded on the counter, lehengas on the racks behind

Point of sale · India

POS software for apparel, ethnic wear and footwear stores in India. Size and colour on the barcode. GST on the bill. One stock across every store and channel.

For sarees, lehengas, kurtis and suits on the rack. For footwear in sizes and widths. For a boutique with two tailors, or a chain with forty stores. The POS is part of one ERP. The same system runs the warehouse, the distributors, the website orders and the factory.

At the counter

Billing at the counter: scan, bill, take the payment. GST is on the bill by itself.

The barcode carries the variant: Scan the barcode and the line knows the style, the size, the colour and the fabric. The product image shows on the screen, so a wrong pick is caught before the bill.
Discounts with authorisation: A discount schema sets what the counter may give. A bigger discount needs a user who has the right. The bill records who gave it.
Cash, card, UPI: Cash, card, and third-party payments such as UPI or a wallet, on one bill, with the rounding recorded. The customer's mobile number and email go on the bill.
GST and HSN: CGST and SGST, or IGST, follow the place of supply. The HSN code is on every product. For a B2B invoice, the e-Invoice with its IRN comes from the same document.
Loyalty: A reward card number sits on the customer record. The customer's history is one screen: what they bought and what they returned.

Returns and exchanges

The return points at the original line. The policy decides cash or voucher.

Return with a reason: A return is a line that points at the line it came from. It carries a reason. Nothing is returned that was not sold.
Exchange on one bill: A return and a new sale on the same bill. The bill shows what was returned, what was sold, and the difference to pay or refund.
Cash or voucher: The return policy says which returns pay cash and which give a voucher. The counter follows it.

The day and the store

Shift close by denomination. A local server for the counter.

Shift close: The cashier counts the drawer by denomination. The system knows what it should hold. The difference is recorded against the shift, not lost.
Terminals and layouts: Each terminal is a record. The POS screen layout is set per store. A footwear store and a saree store do not share one screen.
A local server per store: A store can run its own local server for the counter and the bill printer. Billing goes on when the connection is slow.

Styles, sizes, colours

One style in six sizes and eight colours is one product.

A kurti in six sizes and eight colours is one product with two attributes, not forty-eight product codes. Stock, price and the bill all resolve to the exact combination.

Attributes: Size, colour, fabric, design, work: whichever attributes a style needs. Footwear adds width. Each combination has its own stock and its own barcode.
Price lists: A price list per season and per channel, with versions and dates. The store, the website and the distributor can each have their own.
Discount schemas: Discounts with quantity breaks: two pieces at one price, three at another. Set once, applied at every counter.

Every store, every channel

One stock, seen from the store, the warehouse, the website and the distributor.

Stores and racks: Every store is a warehouse, every rack a bin. Stock is known by store, by rack and by variant, live.
Transfers between stores: A transfer from one store to another is one document, with the e-Way bill from it. Between two of your own registered units it is still a tax event. It is handled on that document.
Central purchase: A store raises a requisition. The head office buys once, receives centrally, and sends stock out by store.
Distributors and wholesale: Distributors are business partners with their own price list and credit terms. Their orders, invoices and payments are in the same system as the counter.
The website: Orders from your web store or a marketplace come in as sales orders. They take stock from the same pool. E-commerce integration is part of Nova.

Custom orders and alterations

Made to measure, and the alteration on the same sale.

Ethnic wear is often made for the customer. A lehenga to her measurements. A blouse from her own fabric. A suit with a different neckline. The sale carries the order to the tailor and back.

Make to order from the bill: A custom piece is a sales order line that becomes a work order. The work order carries the line it was made for. The cost and the promise date stay with the customer.
Variants that are configured: Fabric, colour, size and work chosen at the counter become the variant that is made. No new product code for every order.
Alterations as job work: An alteration goes to the tailor, in-house or outside, as a job. The garment out, the garment back, the charge. The due date and the customer's mobile are on it.

From the factory to the rack

The same system runs the production, the job work and the warehouse.

Dyeing, printing, embroidery and stitching sent out and costed back onto the style. Stock moved between units with the tax handled. The size and colour matrix from the first sample to the last piece on the rack.

The factory side is on its own page: ERP for textile and apparel manufacturers in India. Where the cost goes when work is sent out: five places job work cost disappears.

What it costs

Per user at the counter and in the office. By quotation for a chain.

₹1,999 per user per month. A counter is a user. The store manager, the buyer and accounts are users. ₹70 per employee per month for payroll and self-service. A chain with several entities, or a website to connect, is quoting Nova.

Every edition, and what is not in the licence: the pricing page. Stock and the warehouse: inventory management.

Questions

Asked by boutique, garment shop and footwear store owners, answered here.

Does the counter work when the internet is slow?: A store can run a local server for the counter and the printer. Billing goes on, and the store syncs with the head office.
Can a franchise store use it?: Yes. A franchisee is a business partner and a store. The head office sees its sales and stock. Settlement is on the same books.
Is a separate e-commerce system needed?: No. Web orders come in as sales orders and take stock from the same pool. The connection to the web store is part of Nova.
Is there a free edition?: Pluto is free and open source, and you host it. It has the products, stock, sales and accounts. GST on the bill and payroll start at Onfinity SME Cloud.
