Scan, sell and know what is on the shelf — with reorder suggestions and an online store working from the same stock.
SageBizet is free, browser-based retail POS and inventory software for small shops that sells by barcode, keeps stock accurate with a reason for every change, suggests what to reorder, shows dead stock, and publishes items to an online store.
The system says six, the shelf has two. Without a record of sales, deliveries, breakages and recounts, nobody knows where the difference came from.
Best sellers run out on the weekend while slow lines are reordered out of habit. Ordering from memory means lost sales on one side and cash tied up on the other.
Stock that has not sold in months is cash the shop cannot use, but it rarely shows up until a stocktake.
Selling online from a separate list means the website sells items that sold out in the shop yesterday.
08:30
Scan each product in the delivery and add it as a purchase adjustment, so stock is right before the doors open.
09:00
Open the cash drawer with the float. Staff on the Staff role can sell, take payments and log stock changes, but cannot void sales or see reports.
11:00
A USB or Bluetooth scanner adds the exact item on an SKU match. Quick cash, automatic change and a printed or shared receipt finish the sale.
14:00
An order from your online store arrives. Confirm it, mark it ready and, when the customer collects it, complete it — it becomes a sale like any other.
16:30
Sage Advisor lists items running low with the days of cover left at the current rate of sale and a suggested order quantity.
18:30
Count the drawer against expected cash. Once a week, Insights shows dead stock and items losing ground, so you know what to stop reordering.
Every stock change is recorded with a reason — purchase, sale, recount, waste, damage, transfer — and reorder suggestions come from each item’s real rate of sale.
Scan a barcode to add the exact size and colour, or tap a product and pick from a grid that shows the stock of each; split payments and tax on the bill.
Publish items from the same inventory to a storefront and the SageBizet marketplace, with pickup or delivery inside a radius you set.
Dead stock shows money tied up in unsold items, profit by item uses your cost prices, and items losing ground flags lines that are slowing down.
Open with a float and close with a count; the over or short is recorded for every session.
Shop assistants can sell without seeing reports or voiding sales, and a custom role can also take away stock adjustments if you want them kept for a manager.
Accurate stock comes from recording every change, not from counting more often. In SageBizet, sales decrement stock automatically and every other change is a stock adjustment with a reason, so the history of each item explains exactly how it got to today’s number. The inventory guide goes deeper.
| Reason | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Purchase | A delivery arrives from a supplier |
| Sale | Recorded automatically by the POS and completed online orders |
| Void restock | Recorded automatically when a sale is voided and the item returns to stock |
| Recount | You count the shelf and the number differs from the system |
| Waste | An item expires or can no longer be sold |
| Damage | An item is broken or damaged in the shop |
| Transfer | Stock moves out to another location or business |
| Other | Anything else, such as a sample or display unit, with a note |
A shop that signs up as Retail gets products with up to three options it names itself, such as Colour and Size or Waist and Length. Every combination is a variant with its own SKU, barcode, price and stock, and SageBizet makes an in-store barcode for any variant without a manufacturer code. Labels with the size, colour, price and a struck-through "was" price print from the browser on a label printer or an A4 sheet, and a whole catalogue can be brought in from a CSV spreadsheet, checked row by row before anything is saved.
Shop receipts carry the sale number as a barcode, so a return starts with one scan. SageBizet refunds the price actually paid for each item, including its share of any discount and the tax, and never more than is left to return. An exchange is one transaction where the difference is paid or refunded, and the return policy (days, receipt required, final sale) is checked for the cashier, with a manager able to override it with a reason. Refunds can go back as they were paid or as store credit, and gift cards are sold as money owed, not as sales, until they are spent.
A shop can keep stock by location: the floor, a stockroom, a warehouse, and other branches. Moving stock from the stockroom to the floor is one step; sending it to another branch is requested, approved, sent and received, with anything short recorded. Purchase orders are made across a size run and received by scanning the boxes, with damaged and unexpected items flagged, and counts can cover a location, a brand or a short daily cycle, with a reason for every shortfall.
Mark down a product or a whole collection by a percent or to a new price; the full price stays on the label struck through, and every change is kept in a price history. Promotions can target a brand, a collection or a category, run only at some branches or for a customer group, and be capped per bill, while wholesale or staff groups get their own discount. Loyalty points come with tiers by yearly spend. At the till each line gets the single best discount and the receipt says which one.
Insights show sell-through by product, collection and brand, the sizes that actually sell, staff and supplier figures, and shrinkage by reason. Dead stock lists what has not sold in 90 days with the cash it ties up, and the reorder list works out what will run out before a delivery could arrive, ready to become a purchase order. Signals point at a fast seller that is nearly gone or one branch that is out while another has plenty.
