Three shops drawing from one warehouse, transfers on a posted document, counts that post real variance, and every shop's drawer reconciled before the shutters come down.

What you set up

Hardware & home improvement retail businesses run on the Suite plan, which turns on 38 modules:

Turn any of these off if you don't need them - see setting Finocket up for your trade for the two decisions worth getting right on day one.

What you'll do day to day

Three shops, one number

Signed in as the owner, open /stores. JP Nagar, Whitefield and Yelahanka side by side, with their own tills and staff.

Each cashier at their own counter

Signed in as a staff member, open /pos. Sign in as the JP Nagar cashier: ring a contractor's bill with a card and cash split at their own shop's till.

The warehouse feeds the shops

Signed in as a staff member, open /inventory/transfers. Posted transfers from the Bommanahalli warehouse to the shops; both locations move.

A count that posts the real variance

Signed in as an admin, open /inventory/count. A cycle count of one shop's LED bulbs, and the variance it posts.

Parcels followed to the door

Signed in as the owner, open /shipments. Delivery parcels booked for project orders, with their tracking events.

AI agents for a retail chain

Signed in as the owner, open /agents/gallery. The agents a Suite chain can switch on - stock, sales and store-level checks - from the Business-tier automation it carries.

A serial number on every ceiling fan

Signed in as a staff member, open /inventory. Open the ceiling fan: each unit received carries its own serial, and the ones sold are marked sold against the invoice that moved them.

One offer across three shops

Signed in as the owner, open /promotions. The running offers every till applies, and how often each was used.

A three-shop Bengaluru hardware chain with one warehouse

Before: Three counters on separate billing software, stock moved between shops on paper, and every drawer reconciled after closing.

With Finocket: Each shop has its own till and cashier; the warehouse supplies the shops on posted transfers; counts post real variance.
