The variant problem, solved properly
Foundation isn't a product; it's nine products wearing the same box. Treating shades as one line guarantees "madam ye tone khatam hai" during wedding season. StoreSaathi's variant structure (stock module) gives each shade its own count and sales pace — reordering becomes reading which tones move in your market, not guessing nationally (reorder levels).
Expiry is money melting slowly
Cosmetics carry real dates and real losses when missed. Batch-wise entries (same discipline pharmacies use) keep arrivals distinct; the weekly check routine surfaces old stock while it can still sell at honest prices instead of becoming bin-filler.
The regular-customer advantage
- Purchase history shows her usual foundation shade and refill rhythm.
- "Naya stock aa gaya hai aap wale tone ka" — proactive WhatsApp messages that feel like service, not spam.
- Khata available for trusted regulars (khata module) without mixing into walk-in cash.
- Gift-set billing bundles multiple items cleanly at checkout (POS module).
Brand truth-telling
Distributors push display space; data answers whether it's earned. Per-brand margins (profit tracking) reveal which labels genuinely pay rent — renegotiate or replace the rest before Eid stock-ups.
