The business problem
One branch runs out while another holds the same item. Transfers happen physically, but the records do not explain the quantities each manager should hold.
Plan the cost and scope
Client-Server Edition starts at KES 50,000 initial setup. Additional desktop Client Edition licences start at KES 30,000 each. Annual software licensing is 20% of installed software value from the first anniversary. Confirm this feature’s configuration in your quotation.
Hardware, applicable tax and separately scoped integrations or custom work are additional. Ask for a written breakdown covering deployment, training and recurring services.
Explore a connected workflow
Define the branch model first
Decide whether branches operate as locations within one business or as separate entities. This affects reporting, opening balances, user access and integrations. Confirm the deployment and connection requirements at each site.
A practical workflow
- Agree branch and warehouse codes before imports.
- Record transfers out and confirm receipt at the destination.
- Compare sales by location and investigate unusual variances.
What to verify in your demo
Use two demonstration locations to follow a transfer and a sale. Confirm whether financial reporting is by location, entity or consolidated group, and which parts require additional configuration.
Questions before you decide
Is this included in every installation?
Confirm the edition, configuration and integration scope in your written quotation. Published add-ons and messaging services have separate charges.
How do I evaluate this for my business?
Bring a sample transaction or document and ask the team to run it from entry to reporting.
