Pack sizes per item
Packet, dozen, box, ream or carton, each with its own number of pieces for that item. BooksPOS never assumes every box holds a dozen.
Stationery
Sell by the piece, the dozen or the carton, and keep stock exact
A box of pencils holds 12, a box of markers holds 10, a ream holds 500 sheets. BooksPOS keeps each item's own pack sizes and never counts a box and its pieces twice.
Every item in BooksPOS has a base unit, usually the piece, and as many packs as you sell it in: packet, dozen, box, ream or carton, each with the number of pieces it holds for that item. Stock is kept in pieces: sell 2 boxes and 3 loose pieces from 10 boxes of 12 and the shelf shows 93 pieces. A quantity that does not convert exactly is refused rather than rounded.
A pack can have its own price and its own barcode, so scanning the carton bills a carton and scanning the piece bills a piece. Books, stationery and school uniforms go on the same bill, each in its own unit or size.

Made for how stationery is sold
A price per pack
Each unit has its own retail and wholesale price, with history kept, so a price change never rewrites an old bill.
Every barcode on the box
The maker's piece barcode, the carton barcode and your old labels all scan to the right item and unit.
Stationery details
Brand, model, size, colour, pages, paper GSM, ruling, variant and category, so a 200-page register is never a 300-page one.
Quantity breaks
A lower price per box from a set quantity. The till picks the lowest price that applies, and offers never stack.
Dated promotions
Ten percent off a brand for the back-to-school weeks, with a first and last day. Every bill line says where its price came from.
Why BooksPOS
Stock you can count on
Every movement recorded

Counts while you stay open
Count a shelf or a category; sales made after counting do not look like losses, and only real differences are posted.
Labels for items without a barcode
Code 128 labels of the item's own code on A4 sheets or a roll. Checked on a real label printer and hand scanner by our team.
