ERP for retail: a POS linked to the warehouse, and unified stock across all locations

In retail, data drifts apart fastest of all: the POS in one program, the warehouse in another, margin calculated at month-end when it's already too late to change anything. You make a sale — and the stock doesn't reconcile; at one location there's a queue for goods while at another they sit idle. viasoft ERP on the ERPNext platform, localized for Azerbaijan, links the POS, warehouse, and purchasing in a single database.

• POS and warehouse are different programs, and stock figures don't reconcile.
• Several stores, but no unified stock or combined real-time revenue.
• You see margin by product at month-end, not right now.
• Returns, promotions, and discounts are tracked by hand.
• Fast movers run out suddenly while dead stock piles up.

• A POS linked to the warehouse — a sale immediately deducts stock, in real time. The POS is fiscal — through a certified e-kassa operator, as Azerbaijan requires.
• Unified stock and revenue across all locations — one database, transfers between stores, the full picture in the owner's phone.
• Margin by product and category — in real time, not as a month-end summary.
• Purchasing driven by actual demand — we order what's running out; less dead stock.
• e-qaimə, manats, ÖDV/VAT — local compliance from a single system.

Honest note on the offline POS: ERPNext's basic offline mode is weak. If you have locations with unstable internet and need a robust offline POS — we build that on a separate POS build (POS Awesome); we determine the scope and suitability for your locations at the review, rather than promising "reliable offline" without grounds.

The same triple offer of viasoft ERP: no per-user fee (usually at least half the cost), your code, a free switch with payment after 3 months, in stages. The industry preset speeds up the rollout.

A retail chain of several locations: POS and warehouse in different programs, margin calculated by hand. How this usually gets solved with us: a 1-day ERP audit → migrating one process for free as proof → a single database where a sale deducts stock → POS and e-qaimə set up for the project → a revenue and margin dashboard by location. The old programs run in parallel until acceptance.

• Will the POS deduct stock right away? Yes — a sale goes straight into the unified warehouse, so stock is always current.
• Will it pull several stores into one picture? Yes — unified stock and revenue across all locations, with transfers between them.
• And if the internet drops at a location? ERPNext's basic offline mode is weak; for a robust offline POS we use a separate POS build — we'll assess suitability at the review.
