ChikwoSelling at the counter
Ring up a sale in seconds and keep several named carts open at once. Take cash, bank transfer or ATM card, and let RetailFlow work out the change or the balance the customer still owes.
For Nigerian shops
From one counter to many, RetailFlow grows with you.
Point of sale and business management for Nigerian shops. The counter runs on your own computer and keeps trading when the network drops, while stock, suppliers, expenses and profit stay in one system you can read from anywhere.
Free for one counter, no card needed. Create the account online, then install the app on the till and activate it as a device. Already have an account? Sign in.

Scanned, not typed. Every line carries its cost price, so the margin on this sale is already calculated before the receipt prints.
The problem
The notebook was never going to keep up.
Sales get lost when the queue is long and the change is worked out by hand. Stock leaves the shelf with no record, so the count you cannot account for grows every month.
Then there is the money question. Revenue is not profit, and paper that mixes the two cannot tell you whether the shop is actually earning, whether this month beat last month, or which of your counters is carrying the others.
What you get
One app for the counter, the stock and the money.
Nine jobs a shop owner does every day, done in the same place, on the shop’s own computer.
Barcode and fast search
Scan the barcode at the till, or search by product name or code. A long queue moves faster when nobody has to hunt for a price.
Stock you can account for
Live quantity per item, with low-stock and overstock flags, one expiry date and a bulk price per product, and a reorder list ready to work from. Stocktake counts, shrinkage and missing-stock records all close out with a resolve step.
Purchases and suppliers
Record what you bought, how much you paid and the balance still owed to each supplier. You walk into the next negotiation knowing your own numbers.
Expenses and fixed assets
Every expense sits in a category, and freezers, generators and shelves carry serial numbers and revaluation. Money you are owed, money you owe and your own capital in the business all show in one place.
Profit and balance sheet
Profit and loss is calculated for you, and cost of goods comes from the cost price on each sale line, so gross profit is real rather than revenue. The balance sheet lists your assets, liabilities and owner’s equity, with monthly trends behind both.
Customers and credit
Customer profiles hold purchase history, a credit limit and a running credit balance, so you know where you stand before you agree to anything. RetailFlow sorts them into Champions, Loyal, At-Risk and Dormant groups and shows the value each group carries.
Staff roles and shifts
Each person gets their own login under the owner, admin or cashier role, with optional two-factor authentication. Till shifts record opening cash, expected cash, counted cash and the difference, and an audit trail shows who did what.
Branches and transfers
Run several stores, with each branch carrying its own code and its own stock. A transfer is recorded out of one branch and into the other, so nothing disappears between them.
Offline
Never lose another sale to a bad network.
RetailFlow is installed on the shop’s own computer, so the counter never waits for a server to answer. Sell, print the receipt and bring stock down with the internet completely down.
An outage is not a lockout. A till keeps its paid features for up to seven days with no connection, and thirty days maximum.
Sync runs behind you. Work you already did uploads on its own when a connection returns, with retries. Free plans upload; paid plans also download.

Owner dashboard
See the whole business from your phone.
The browser side is for you, not the till. Open it from home or in traffic and read your branches, devices, takings, margins and sync status. It is there on paid plans, and nothing needs installing.
Takings and margin per branch. Gross profit comes from the cost price recorded on each sale line, so you are reading profit, not turnover.
Every machine accounted for. Devices register individually with time-limited single-use activation codes, and you can see which one has not synced.

Getting started
Three steps, and you are trading on it.
-
Install on the shop computer
Download one Windows installer file and run it on the machine that trades. There is no server to set up and no connection needed from the first hour.
-
Load your products
Type them in, or import a CSV of what you already keep. Set the selling price, the cost price, one expiry date and the bulk price for each item.
-
Sell, then let it sync
Rings, receipts and stock changes happen locally. When a connection returns, RetailFlow uploads the work on its own and your dashboard catches up.
Plans and pricing
Simple. Scalable. Fair.
Pick by how many machines trade for you and how many branches you run. Start on the free plan and move up when a second counter or a second branch appears.
Free
One counter, one shop, proving the routine works.

Questions
Straight answers before you install.
Can it run more than one branch?
Yes, within plan limits. Starter covers two devices in one branch and one store. Business covers five devices, five branches and five stores. Enterprise covers twenty devices, twenty branches and unlimited stores.
Stock moves between branches by transfer, recorded out of one branch and into the other. Every new machine registers with a time-limited single-use activation code.
What happens when the internet goes down?
You keep trading. RetailFlow runs on the shop’s own computer, so sales, receipts and stock changes do not wait for a server to answer.
A till keeps its paid features for up to seven days without a connection, and thirty days maximum, so an outage is not a lockout. Work you already did uploads on its own when the connection returns, with retries.
Is my data safe?
The local database is encrypted and bound to the machine it was created on. It sits in your shop, not in somebody else’s spreadsheet.
The app writes its own backup files, including a scheduled automatic backup, and restores from them — so you hold copies instead of trusting one hard drive.
Can I move to a new computer?
Yes. Take a recent backup file, install RetailFlow on the new computer and restore from that file.
Devices that trade for you are registered individually, so the new machine gets its own registration and the old one stops counting.
What does the free plan leave out?
The free plan is one device, one branch and one store. It uploads your work to the cloud but does not download it, and the owner dashboard in the browser starts on paid plans.
Nothing about it is a timed trial. You can stay on the free plan for as long as one counter is what you are running.
Can my cashiers see the books?
Each person gets their own login under one of three roles: owner, admin or cashier. Give cashiers the cashier login and keep the owner login for yourself; two-factor authentication is optional on any of them.
Till shifts record opening cash, expected cash, counted cash and the difference, and the audit trail shows who did what. A shortfall points to a name and a shift, not a rumour.
Ready to know exactly how your shop is doing?
Install RetailFlow on the computer you already trade on. Sell through a whole day with the network down, then open the reports and see the profit. The free plan covers one counter, and no card is needed to start.
