Supermarkets and retail chains
High transaction counts, thin margins and stock that disappears between branches. NodePoint makes each till accountable and each branch visible from one screen.
What goes wrong, and what NodePoint does about it
Queues build up when the network drops, and the shop closes rather than sells.
Offline-first checkout keeps scanning and printing through outages. Receipt numbers stay in sequence and the queue syncs when the line returns.
Stock on the shelf never matches stock on the system, and nobody can say where it went.
Every sale, purchase, transfer and adjustment moves stock in real time with the named user behind it, so a variance has an owner rather than a mystery.
M-Pesa codes get written in a notebook and reconciled at night, badly.
STK push or code capture attaches the payment to its sale at the counter, so the day reconciles against the statement without an evening argument.
Head office learns about a bad day two weeks later.
Sales, margins and shrinkage per branch update as they happen, with one login across every location.
