The business problem
A sales total looks encouraging, but management cannot identify the products, locations or unpaid customer balances behind it. Decisions need a report that can be checked against the transactions.
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
Start with a management question
A dashboard total is useful when you can understand its period, filters and source. Compare the report with the underlying sales records before using it to set targets or pay incentives.
A practical workflow
- Review sales by item, cashier and location.
- Compare outstanding customer balances with ageing.
- Check the profit and loss against reconciled operational records.
What to verify in your demo
Ask the team to demonstrate filters and exports, and show the source of a specific total. Agree your report definitions before commissioning custom reports.
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.
