Batch and expiry, on stock that costs real money.

Expiry-dated stock, high value per shelf, and customers who come back monthly.

What makes this shop different

  • Cosmetics carry batch numbers and expiry dates that must be tracked
  • Stock is high-value, so shrinkage hurts more than in grocery
  • Customers return monthly for the same two or three products
  • Shades and variants of one product look identical on the shelf

Cosmetics is the one part of neighbourhood retail where the stock on a single shelf can be worth more than the day’s takings. That changes what software has to do: knowing the count is not enough, you need to know which batch, bought at what cost, expiring when.

Bazaar IQ tracks batch number, manufacture and expiry dates per intake, with cost price attached — so margin is real rather than assumed.

Expiry that gets caught early

Alerts fire before stock turns, and near-expiry items get a one-tap markdown to clear at a reduced price instead of being written off at full cost.

Shrinkage becomes visible

Staff bill under their own login, every sale records who made it, and stock corrections are logged as adjustments rather than silently overwriting history. On high-value stock that audit trail is the control.

The regulars are the business

Most of the revenue is repeat purchases of a handful of products. Customer history is kept per person, so you know what they buy and when they are due — and khata handles the ones who settle monthly.
