Retail shops

Software for retail shops, supermarkets and wholesalers in Malawi

Grocers, supermarkets, boutiques, electronics shops, liquor stores and wholesalers use InsightBooks to sell at the counter, keep stock right across branches and see daily profit without waiting for month end.

Fast counter sales

Scan barcodes or search by name, take cash, bank or mobile money payments and print a receipt. Each sale updates stock and posts revenue and cost of sales, so gross profit is visible the same day.

Branches and a central warehouse

Hold stock in a warehouse and in each shop. Shops raise supply requests when stock runs low, the warehouse approves and fulfils them and transfers keep quantities right in both places. Reports can be run per branch or for the whole business.

A daily report you do not have to ask for

The till opens at 05:00 and closes at 19:00 automatically, and the day's sales report is emailed to the owner. If you are away from the shop, you still know how the day went.

Buying from suppliers

Raise purchase orders, receive goods, record supplier bills and pay them. FIFO costing keeps profit accurate when supplier prices change.
