Multi store POS system: every branch in one book

One business, every branch

A branch in PointLit is a location: a shop or a warehouse with its own stock, its own tills and its own shifts. Opening a second branch in Giza next to your first in Cairo adds a line to the Locations screen, not a second system with a second login and a second set of numbers. A location you stop using is retired, never deleted, so its history stays readable.

Transfers that know where the stock is

Moving stock between branches is a document with two ends. The sending branch creates a New transfer and presses Send: the stock leaves its shelves and the transfer shows In transit. Nothing reaches the other branch until someone there presses Receive and counts what arrived. Until then the stock belongs to neither shop's shelf, and the Stock in transit report lists it, so a box in the back of a car is never counted twice or not at all.

If a line arrives short, it stays in transit until the rest arrives, is sent back or is written off, and the transfer shows Partly received. Extra pieces add no stock until the sending branch confirms it sent them. The Differences tab keeps every gap in one place, and the till shows how many transfers are on their way to its branch.

Prices per branch

Price lists sell the same product at a different price per country, city or store. A branch in a mall can carry higher prices than the branch downtown without a second product. When scopes overlap, the most specific wins: the location, then the city, then the country.

Reports across branches

Reports filter by Branches, so the same report answers for one branch, several or all of them. The owner dashboard shows the day across every branch. Stock flow by branch shows what came in and went out of each one, Where is this model? shows a model's stock everywhere, and Suggested transfers points out where one branch is short of what another has spare.

Staff who work at some branches only

Each member's Locations setting decides the branches where they can ring up sales, read stock, open a shift and sync a till. A cashier in Alexandria rings sales at Alexandria, a manager responsible for two branches works in those two, and the owner can work in them all.

How it works in PointLit

1. In Locations, add each branch or warehouse.
2. In Members, set Locations for each person.
3. To move stock, open Transfers, choose New transfer, add the lines and press Send.
4. At the receiving branch, open the Inbound tab, press Receive and enter what actually arrived.
5. Set branch prices in Price lists, and read every branch together in Reports with the Branches filter.
