LajjerTek / Case study 04 / Retail & inventory
Know what’s selling. Know what’s left.
A stock-and-sales concept for a growing Ghanaian retailer, connecting daily transactions with inventory and reorder decisions. This is a proposed solution, not a completed client project.
Proposed scope
- Product catalogue
- Sales and returns
- Stock movement records
- Low-stock alerts
The challenge
This concept considers a retailer using a notebook for sales and a separate spreadsheet for stock. Returns, damaged items and incoming deliveries can leave the two records out of sync. Owners need a dependable view of what is available before committing to a sale or placing another order.
The proposed approach
Propose a product catalogue with stock movements linked to sales, returns and deliveries. Record payment methods, including cash and mobile money, without implying an unbuilt payment integration. Add stock adjustments with reasons, low-stock thresholds and a daily sales summary. Validate the starting inventory through a physical stock count before any rollout.
Intended outcomes
A clearer stock position
Recorded sales, returns and deliveries would update the same inventory view.
Better reorder decisions
Low-stock alerts would help the team identify items needing attention.
Traceable adjustments
Each stock change would retain a reason so discrepancies could be investigated.
