Businesses that run on Thenaji

We have four shops. Before this I could tell you what the whole business made and nothing else. Now I can see Westlands on its own — and I found out one branch was carrying the other three.

A hardware store is a thousand small things — nails by the kilo, paint by the litre, iron sheets by the piece. Now every one of them has a count I trust, and I know what is moving and what is just sitting on the shelf.

The stock takes used to take two days and still not agree. Now the count and the books argue with each other on the screen, not three weeks later in an audit.

What sold me was pressing a number and getting the actual delivery note. My accountant asked where a figure came from and I showed her in four clicks.

The shift handover is the whole thing for us. Dips, pump readings and what the attendant brought in, in one place. Shortages get a name and a time now.

Fee collection by form, on one screen, at any hour. I stopped chasing the bursar for a figure I can now see from my phone at home.
