Section 1

Business Background & Scale

Operating in a bustling commercial trade hub, Zahid Electric & Sanitary serves both walk-in retail shoppers purchasing cables, lighting, and bathroom fittings, as well as wholesale electrical contractors placing bulk orders on credit.

Daily Trade Operations:

Hundreds of counter sales and wholesale challans dispatched daily across 3 retail outlets and a central inventory godown.

Section 2

The Operational Breaking Point

Unrecorded Counter Credit & Multi-Branch Stock Blindspots

Wholesale contractors frequently exceeded informal credit limits because counter cashiers couldn't view overdue invoices from other branches.

Inventory counts in the central godown frequently mismatched store displays, leading to embarrassing stockouts of high-velocity copper cables.

Accounting required 3 weeks of forensic month-end invoice copying between desktop software and manual khata registers.

Cashier price discounts were applied inconsistently without supervisor visibility, causing invisible margin leakage.

Underlying Risk: Severe cash flow delays from unrecovered dealer balances and frequent sales disputes.

The Architectural Solution

Implementation & Hardware Setup:

7-Day Structured Implementation & Phased Cutover

Standard USB 80mm thermal receipt printers, wireless 1D/2D barcode scanners, and Windows counter PCs.

Key Operational Improvements:

Enforced server-authoritative credit limits blocking further credit billing when a contractor's balance exceeds approved ceilings.

Implemented perpetual moving-average costing, giving the owner instant visibility of daily gross margins across all 3 branches.

Configured multi-UOM packaging (Coil, Box, Meter, Piece) so counter staff can bill in any unit without manual calculator conversions.

Offline-first POS ensured billing counters operated seamlessly during frequent local internet and power interruptions.
