How to see your shop stock left from your phone

The debt notebook knows who took goods on credit, but it does not know what is left on the shelf. To keep stock in a notebook you would have to lower the number by hand after every sale, and on a busy day nobody does that.

So the shop ends up with two different truths: the truth on the shelf and the guess in the owner's head. Orders are placed on the guess, so one product sits as a surplus while another runs out too early.

In BirLiy stock is not kept separately. The sale itself lowers the count, so the truth on the shelf and the number on the phone stay the same thing.

When a product is sold, the stock on hand drops automatically. The cashier records nothing extra, the receipt itself updates the count.

You do not build the product list from scratch. The catalog already holds common products, and you can import your own list from Excel, so to start tracking stock you are not typing in every item by hand.

As you work, you reconcile the actual count with the number in the phone from time to time. That replaces the long manual recount: to close the day you do not have to close the shop and count the shelves.

If a fast-moving product suddenly runs out, the shop is left without sales and the customer walks to the shop next door. When you watch the count from your phone, you notice in advance which product is getting low.

The owner sees what is running low without standing in the shop and reorders in time. The product people ask for most stays on the shelf instead of disappearing.

An empty shelf is a lost sale: the customer came, the product was gone, the money left. Surplus stock is frozen money: it takes up the shop, it does not sell, and your money sits inside that product.

Both mistakes grow from the same root: not knowing what moves fast and what moves slow. The stock count in the phone shows this, so you build the order from the speed of sales, not by feel.

To start, no new hardware is needed, a phone is enough. Enter the opening stock once, and after that each sale updates it on its own.

If the internet drops, BirLiy keeps running sales and stock in offline mode, and when the connection returns the data syncs by itself. You can clear up questions about price and moving your first products with the team on Telegram.
