Accounting software for retail shops

A simple question many shop owners cannot answer on the spot: what did I make last month? The month's sales are known, but profit needs cost of goods sold, and that needs stock under control.

Three numbers that decide a shop's profit

1. Cost of goods sold — unknowable unless every item carries a current purchase cost.
2. Dead stock — goods with your cash frozen on the shelf. Every item that has not moved in months is idle money.
3. Shrinkage — the gap between what the system says and what is actually on the shelf: damage, keying errors or theft. What is not measured is not fixed.

How Fahim brings them under control

• Purchasing from a photo — send a picture of the supplier invoice and quantities and costs are recorded, updating each item's cost.
• Sales deduct instantly — shelf and stock are one number, not two.
• Stock-counts without closing — enter counted quantities and the system shows variances item by item.
• Low-stock alerts — a reorder point per item, so fast movers do not run out and slow movers do not pile up.
• Branches — unified stock and reporting with per-branch detail.

And you ask from your phone: “what is this month's profit?”, “which items are dead stock?”, “which branch sells most?” — in Arabic, over WhatsApp.

Every sale issues a simplified invoice meeting e-invoicing requirements and reaches tax reporting with no second entry.
