You supply other businesses
Shops, dealers and distributors buy from you, each at their own price, often on credit, and often from a van. You need the stock, the prices, the rounds and the money owed to agree with each other.
Industries
Is this built for a business like mine?
Zuuvy was built inside a distribution business, so it assumes the things distribution takes for granted — stock that leaves in a van, money collected at a door, and a different price for every kind of customer. If your business works that way, most of it will already fit.
Three shapes of business
Start here rather than with your industry. Nothing below changes because of which one you are — the same records take all three.
You sell over a counter
Walk-in customers, a queue at busy times, and a till that has to be quick and cannot stop when the internet does. Start with Zuuvy POS and add the rest if you ever need it.
You do both
A distributor with a shop at the front is the ordinary case here, not a special one. Counter sales and trade sales land in the same books, against the same stock.
You will recognise your business if…
- Different customers pay different prices for the same thing
- Somebody is keeping a running total of who owes what
- Salesmen carry stock and collect money away from the office
- Goods arrive against purchase orders, often in parts
- Returns and replacements are a normal part of the week
- You are still finding out at eight in the evening what the day did
Trades it fits, and what it does for them
One of these is a business we actually run today; the rest are described as a fit, not as a customer. We would rather say which is which.
Mobile phones & accessories
High value in a small box, models that turn over in weeks, warranty returns, and a price that is different for every kind of buyer.
In Zuuvy: Per-customer pricing with a floor the counter cannot sell below, and returns that are settled — back on the shelf, written off, or passed to the shop — rather than just approved.
FMCG & general trade
Vans on fixed rounds, hundreds of small shops, cash taken at the door, and credit that has to be watched daily.
In Zuuvy: The round on a live map, every collection attached to the salesman holding it until he hands it in, and the customer confirming the bill with a code before the van leaves.
Electronics & appliances
Bigger tickets, dealer margins, scheme pricing, and goods that come back more often than anyone would like.
In Zuuvy: Offers published to a chosen audience at that audience's price, and a write-off ledger so goods that were discarded are still accounted for.
Building materials & hardware
Bulk orders against purchase orders, deliveries that arrive in parts over weeks, and balances that run for months.
In Zuuvy: Purchase orders that count what was received against what was ordered across as many part-deliveries as it takes — and an order abandoned recorded as abandoned, not quietly marked complete.
Auto parts
A deep catalogue nobody can hold in their head, counter and field sales at once, and constant exchanges.
In Zuuvy: A till that finds a part by code, name or barcode as you type, and one stock figure shared by the counter, the warehouse and every salesman's bag.
Agri inputs
Buying that all happens in a few weeks of the year, dealers spread across districts, and staff who are never in an office.
In Zuuvy: Attendance from a photo at the start of a shift rather than a register, and low-stock flags that fire the moment a product drops under its minimum, with the reorder quantity worked out.
Every trade has its own vocabulary.
What carries across unchanged is the core — four ways to sell into one set of books, stock counted from purchase order to van, attendance and routes for people who are never in an office, and a price per customer. What differs is the language of a trade: batch and expiry dates for pharma, serial numbers for some electronics, weight-based pricing for commodities. Some of those we have, some we have not, and the useful first conversation is working out which ones you actually need.
If you are not sure, the quickest test costs nothing: open Zuuvy POS and ring up a few of your own products. The till is the part of the platform you can judge in ten minutes.
