Your cashier scans, cashes in, gives change, prints the receipt. Meanwhile stock goes down, the invoice takes its number and the payment is recorded. All on the same screen.
This is not a picture, it is COMZA. Scan, set the quantity, cash in. The stock moves, the invoice writes itself.
Stock has gone down. The sale is in the log. The invoice is numbered. The evening report is already up to date.
A cashier starting out holds the register after one morning. The rest of the software is kept elsewhere, he does not touch it.
With a reader, or just the phone camera. The item drops into the basket with its price.
A bag of cement has none, a session even less. You type three letters, or touch a tile: "hour of labour", "session", "membership fee".
Three litres, two cans, two hours of labour, ten sessions paid in advance. The total works itself out each time.
Cash, card, transfer, cheque, mobile payment, and two means on the same sale if the customer insists. On $43.00 paid with a $50 note, the change to give is shown.
On the roll, as a PDF by message, or no receipt at all. It carries your details and a number that will never be used again.
The wallet is still in the car. You set the basket aside, you serve the two customers behind, you pick it up when he is back.
Nothing is cancelled: the basket comes back with its six lines and its total.
The customer pays $2.00 and leaves, or comes to collect his repair without ever giving his name. So the walk-in customer is ticked in advance.
Five figures at the top of the screen, and he knows where he stands before the first customer.
Elsewhere, the seller writes in a notebook, the cashier types it again, and in the evening $40 is missing that nobody can explain. Here, the two screens work on the same order.
The seller enters it once. The cashier opens order 1042 and cashes in.
From the shop floor, the workshop, or his own phone. Items, quantities, hours of labour. He has no customer name to ask for.
SellerIn under a second, with its lines, its total and the name of whoever took it.
AutomaticDiscount above the cap, sale on credit, credit note. Until the manager has answered, the order cannot be cashed in.
ManagerHe opens the order, takes the money, hands over the receipt. Stock goes down at the moment your trade has set.
CashierIn a hardware store, stock goes down when the customer pays. In a restaurant, as soon as the order leaves for the kitchen. In a workshop, the part stays reserved for the three days the repair takes.
See the 18 tradesA discount is written as an amount, −5,00 $, and above the seller's cap it waits for a manager's approval, whose name and time stay stuck to the invoice.
You count the drawer, you type the figure, COMZA compares it with its own. If $2.00 is missing, the reason gets written now.
Two missing dollars get explained in the evening. Three weeks later, nobody remembers.
Notes and coins, by value: six $50 notes, four $20 notes, and the change. The adding up happens while you count.
The cash-up carries the cashier's name and the time. The gap gets a reason: too much change given, $8.00 of bags bought round the corner, an advance on wages.
The next morning, the float starts again from the figure counted the night before.
We do not sell hardware and we impose none. A browser is enough, on the phone already in your pocket. The reader and the printer, you will add them when the counter calls for them.
Left to right: the phone, the reader, the printer, the drawer.
The camera reads barcodes. Count two seconds per item: too slow at a hundred customers a day, plenty to begin with.
Any USB or Bluetooth model, from $20. It behaves like a keyboard, you install nothing.
Thermal 58 and 80 mm models work. With no printer, the receipt goes as a PDF by message and costs nothing.
It opens through the printer, as elsewhere. Plenty of shops do without one the first year.
