Stories from the counter

Three shops. Three days.
One sales book.

A shop, a stall and a question everybody asks at closing time. Nothing below is a feature list. It is three ordinary days, written out in the order they happen.

One

Where the money went, and what a sales book can honestly tell you

At closing time most shopkeepers ask three questions in the same breath. How much came in. How much is still owed. What actually moved off the shelf.

BillMadi answers those three, because it is holding every bill you finished. Open My Shop and the day is already added up: the total, the busiest hour, the items that sold most, and a split by how people paid, so cash in the drawer and money in the UPI account are two separate numbers rather than one guess.

Credit is kept apart on purpose. When a regular takes goods now and pays on Friday, you tap Credit instead of Paid. The sale still counts today, because the goods left today. The money shows up under Credit as still to collect, with a name against it, until the day it comes in.

Here is what it does not do, said plainly: BillMadi does not record what you spend. There is no place to enter what you paid your supplier, your rent or your electricity bill. It keeps the money coming in, not the money going out.

That is worth knowing before you start, because it changes what the day total is for. It is the one honest number to carry into your own book or hand to your accountant, and it is a number you no longer have to add up by hand at eleven at night.

Two

A small shop, from the shutter going up to the shutter coming down

A general store selling a few hundred things, where the price is on the packet and the queue is longest between six and eight.

  1. Morning. The phone opens straight onto the till. Nothing to load and nobody to sign in again, because it stays signed in.
  2. The first customer. Scan the barcode, the price comes up, the stock goes down by one. Three more items, then Paid. The bill is printed or shown as a QR the customer scans to keep it.
  3. The network drops. Nothing changes. Every sale is written to the phone first, and sent up when the signal comes back. You will not know it happened.
  4. The regular who pays on Friday. Tap Credit instead of Paid and put his name on it. It sits under Credit until he settles.
  5. The helper takes over. He signs in with the shop code and his own four digit PIN. He can sell. He cannot change a price or see what the shop took.
  6. Closing. Open My Shop. The day is already added up, split by cash and UPI, with what sold most at the top.

Your day ends when you say it does. A shop day starts at four in the morning, so a sale rung up at one at night still belongs to the night before, where you would have written it.

Three

Two days at an event, with a queue and no internet

An exhibition ground, a food stall, and the worst mobile signal of the year because twenty thousand people are standing on it.

  1. Before the gates open. Six prices, put in as six buttons. That is the whole setup, and it takes about two minutes.
  2. The queue. Tap two buttons, tap Paid. No typing, no searching, no waiting for a screen to load.
  3. Paying. Show the UPI QR with the amount already filled in, so nobody stands there typing it wrong.
  4. Two people billing. A second phone signs in to the same shop with its own PIN. Both tills add into one total.
  5. No signal all day. Every sale is saved on the phone. When you get back to a room with wifi, the whole day goes up at once.
  6. After. Two days, split by day, by item and by person, without anyone having counted a single slip of paper.

Try it on an empty till first. Training mode gives you a practice shop that is counted in no report and is deleted when you leave it.

Whichever of the three you are, start on the free plan.

Take a real sale, look at what it saved, and decide after that. Nothing is entered twice and nothing has to be set up first.
