Wholesale prices and credit customers, on the same till
Schools, institutions and other shops buy at wholesale rates, often on credit. This is what BooksPOS supports for them today, and what is still planned.
A wholesale price for every unit
Works todayEach item and each of its packs has a retail and a wholesale price, dated, with the history kept. Mark a customer as wholesale and the till uses the wholesale price for them; the bill shows where each price came from.
Credit limits and khata
Works todayPut a bill on account up to the customer's credit limit; a customer with no limit pays at the counter. Their statement shows every bill and payment with a running balance. Payments come in as cash through the drawer, bank transfer, card or wallet.
Customer types
Works todayRetail, school, institution or wholesale, set per customer, and brought in from your old list with their opening balances.
Orders delivered later
Works todayTake an order for a customer at the till with Order (F7). Copies in stock are held for them until a hold date, and the rest is awaited. Hand the goods over in one go or in parts from Pending deliveries: each hand-over is a normal bill at the price agreed on the order.
Price lists and quantity breaks
Works todayA named, dated price list for a school or a group of shops: their own price for chosen items, or a discount off a publisher or a category. Give a customer the list and the till uses it for them. Quantity breaks give a lower price from a set quantity. Negotiated prices are never mixed with walk-in promotions, and the bill shows where each price came from.
Still to come
Planned- Credit budgets per branch. (Ageing of what customers owe is in the Reports screen.)

BooksPOS is in development and not yet production-ready. We are looking for a small number of book depots, stationers and wholesalers to pilot it with us. There is no public download yet.
