Your whole store, in one place, on any device

No server in the back room, nothing to back up. Open the back office on the office PC, at home on your phone, or on a handheld scanner in the aisle.

Back office dashboard for Harbour Street Grocer: invoices to review, items expiring within 7 days, products ranged and a list of stock expiring soon

What's in the back office?

Everything you manage between customers: products and barcodes, prices and promotions, suppliers and orders, invoices, stock and stocktakes, expiry, labels, staff and permissions, cash-ups, reports and accounting exports.

  • Product file with carton buying, margins, price levels and pack links
  • Item history: every price, cost and stock change with who made it
  • Clone a product to set up a new flavour or size in seconds

How fast do changes reach the tills?

Within seconds. Tills are told about changes as they happen and download them in the background; there's no 'send to tills' button to forget.

Can my managers use it without seeing everything?

Yes. Each person gets permissions per store: for example a manager can change prices and receive orders, but can't see margins or the wage report. Every back-office login uses two-step sign-in.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The back office is built to work on small screens, and can be installed as an app icon. Your daily summary and alerts arrive as phone notifications.

Common questions

Is there anything to install for the back office?

No. It runs in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari). You can add it to your desktop or home screen as an app.

Where is my data stored?

In a managed Postgres database with daily backups, separated per business so no other store can ever see your data. See the security page for details.

Can I import my products from my old POS?

Yes. Load a Futurenet export or your buying group's host file; the import wizard maps the columns and shows what will change before anything is saved.
