A pet shop is two businesses sharing a counter. Feed is a weight-based commodity bought in sacks and
sold loose; accessories are packaged goods with barcodes. They need different handling, and most
software only does one well.
Bazaar IQ handles both. Feed uses weight units with a conversion factor, so a 30 kg sack broken into
loose sales stays accurate in stock. Accessories scan from the phone camera.
Expiry on food, properly
Pet food has real expiry dates and real liability if it is sold past them. Batch tracking with
oldest-first selling and expiry alerts means old stock leaves before it becomes a problem.
The customers are predictable — use it
A dog eats the same food every month. Customer purchase history is kept per person, so you know who is
due and what they buy. For the ones who settle monthly, khata keeps a running balance you can drill
into bill by bill.
Two stock behaviours, one shelf count
Fast-moving feed and slow-moving accessories both report through the same dashboard, with shelf and
godown counted separately so an empty front shelf is visible even when the sack is in the back.
