Sales, categories and inventory

Example: mini-mart using categories and inventory

A practical example for shops and kiosks.

A mini-mart sells many small products every day. Categories and inventory help the owner understand both sales and stock.

Suggested sales categories

  • Groceries
  • Drinks
  • Household items
  • Snacks
  • Other sales

Suggested inventory items

  • Rice 2kg
  • Sugar 1kg
  • Olive Oil 1L
  • Soap Bar
  • Bottled Water
  • Soda 500ml

How to record a sale

If the customer buys Olive Oil 1L:

  1. Choose Sell from inventory.
  2. Select Olive Oil 1L.
  3. Enter quantity sold.
  4. Choose the Groceries sales category.
  5. Save the sale.

Result

Bizwazi reduces Olive Oil stock and reports the sale under Groceries.
