The product
Not more software.
A better way to run the store.
The operating layer
Live todayRun the store.
The parts of the day that have to work every single time. This is what a retailer touches from open to close, and it is the part we use ourselves at Banjara every day.
At the counter
- Billing on a PC counter or a phone
- Multiple counters sharing one view of stock
- Barcode scanning, loose and decimal quantities
- Shift open and close, with a day-end report
- Edit a bill after the fact, with a full audit trail
Behind the counter
- Inventory with batch, MRP and cost tracking
- Purchase entry built for how a supplier bill actually arrives
- Vendor records and outstanding balances
- Customer records, with what they usually buy
- Stock audits, counted section by section
The intelligence layer
Live todayUnderstand the business.
Not a dashboard for its own sake. The specific questions a retailer asks out loud during a week, answered without going looking for the data.
The questions
- What sold today, and how does that compare
- What has quietly stopped moving
- What needs reordering before the shelf is empty
- Which lines actually make money after discount
- What a returning customer bought last time
The reporting
- Sales comparison across periods
- Stock movement and dead-stock surfacing
- Purchase and margin reporting
- GST-ready reporting for filing
- Reorder planning with demand-based suggestions
The network layer
Partly builtConnect the ecosystem.
The store is where commerce actually happens, so it is where connection has to start. Some of this exists today and some of it does not; the list says which.
Working today
- A customer ordering page for your own store
- WhatsApp messaging to your own customers
- Supplier and vendor records inside the store
Being built
- Ordering that reaches the distributor directly
- Supply visibility shared with the businesses upstream
- Shelf-level signal available to the brands that want it
- Coordination between stores in the same network
The direction
Partly builtBuild what comes next.
As more stores run on MarCat and more of the businesses around them connect, the information and coordination layer becomes more valuable. That is the infrastructure opportunity, and it is deliberately described here as a direction rather than a product.
What has to be true first
- The store has to want to use the operating layer daily
- The connections have to be worth something to both sides
- The signal has to be accurate enough to act on
Try it on your own counter.
That’s how we test it too.
