Retail & General Trading
ERP software built for groceries.
A neighbourhood or community grocery store selling fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) — fresh produce, dairy, bread, packaged foods, household staples, beverages, and everyday essentials — to walk-in retail customers.
How it works
The business model
Groceries buy from a mix of local wholesalers/distributors, FMCG principal suppliers (van-sales delivery), and, for fresh produce, daily/weekly market sourcing — often on short credit or cash-on-delivery terms. They sell almost exclusively to walk-in retail consumers at the counter, at fixed shelf prices, in small basket sizes (a handful of SKUs per transaction), with cash, card, and digital wallet payment mixed at the till.

Built for reality
What Muhasib handles
The situations that break generic software are designed in from day one.
Weighed item priced by decimal quantity (0.375 kg) — rounding rule must be explicit.
Expired stock discovered mid-shift — cashier must be blocked from selling it at POS (real-time expiry check).
Price change mid-day (supplier price increase) — POS must reflect new price immediately without a reprint of shelf tags being a system dependency.
Partial payment / customer short of cash — POS needs a "hold order" to resume after customer returns.
Van-sales delivery with damaged/short-delivered stock — Goods Receipt must support partial-quantity receipt against the invoice.
Power/internet outage — POS needs offline-tolerant checkout with later sync (till session continues, syncs to inventory/accounting on reconnect).
