## What problems does a boutique and fabric shop POS solve?

A POS like EliteTeQ stops the money a boutique loses to untracked stock, slow or wrong bills, unapproved staff changes and guesswork, because every sale, purchase and change is recorded in one system.

**Reordering the wrong sizes?** Each size and colour of every design is tracked as its own variant with its own stock, so you reorder what actually sells.

**Guessing what is left on the roll?** Sell fabric by the yard, metre or whole bale from one stock record, and always know what is left on every roll.

**Regulars only in your memory?** Save each customer with what they bought, and message them about new arrivals on WhatsApp.

**Exchanges nobody can check?** Returns and exchanges are recorded against the original sale, so you can see what was sold, when and at what price.

**A size at one shop, the customer at another?** Each shop is tracked separately, and a transfer moves the size to where the customer is.

**A slow till on a busy Saturday?** Scan the tag and take telebirr, card or cash on one screen, so every customer leaves happy and quickly.

## How does EliteTeQ track sizes, fabric rolls and regulars?

- **Sizes, colours & designs** — Every variant tracked as its own item, with its own stock, in every branch.
- **Barcode scanning** — Scan to sell, scan to receive a delivery and scan to count, size by size.
- **Fabric by the yard, metre or bale** — Sell fabric cut to length or by the whole bale from one stock record.
- **Roll counts & low-stock alerts** — Know what is left on every roll, and get an alert before a fabric runs out.
- **Customer records** — Regulars saved with their purchase history, so you know their sizes and tastes.
- **New arrivals on WhatsApp** — Tell regulars about the next collection on WhatsApp.

## What does EliteTeQ do for your stock, staff and books?

EliteTeQ keeps the stock, purchases, staff and books of a boutique in one system: live stock in every branch, purchases and returns by supplier, damages on record, an audit log for every void and discount, and accounts that update with every sale.

**The size they want is on the rail** (Stock · warehouses & branches) Live stock by size, colour and design in every shop and store, so a customer never leaves without the size they came for.

**Buy the sizes that sell** (Purchases · purchase returns) Reorder by size and colour from what actually sells, and send faulty pieces or wrong fabric back to the supplier.

**Exchanges that are quick and fair** (Sales · sales returns) Swap a dress for another size against the original sale, without breaking your stock count.

**Damaged pieces recorded, not hidden** (Damages) A torn hem or a marked end of a roll is written off with a reason, so stock and profit stay true.

**Move sizes to where they sell** (Stock transfers) Send the size a customer is waiting for from a quiet shop to a busy one, with both counts right.

**Staff sell, you see the numbers** (Roles & permissions) Each person gets just what their job needs, and only you see costs and margins.

**Know who did what, and when** (Multi-user · audit logs) Every sale, price change and exchange is tied to a login and a time.

**Regulars hear about new stock first** (WhatsApp) Message customers about new arrivals on WhatsApp, based on what they bought before.

**Every piece and every roll has a history** (Product movement reports) Received, transferred, sold, exchanged, cut or written off, size by size and metre by metre.

**Books that keep up with your sales** (Accounting) Sales, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by branch.

**Your team in the same system** (HRM) Staff records, roles and sales by staff member sit next to your stock, not in a separate notebook.

**Your business in your pocket, online or off** (Cloud · offline) Check every branch from your phone, and keep selling when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.

## Boutique POS vs a notebook: what changes?

Moving from a notebook to EliteTeQ means: reorder the sizes and colours that sell; fabric stock by the yard or metre; customers saved with what they bought.

| Manual / spreadsheet | EliteTeQ |
|---|---|
| Reordering whole size ranges | Reorder the sizes and colours that sell |
| Guessing what is left on the roll | Fabric stock by the yard or metre |
| Regulars only in your memory | Customers saved with what they bought |
| New arrivals nobody hears about | New-arrival messages on WhatsApp |
| Exchanges with no record | Exchanges against the original sale |
| Branches managed by phone calls | Every shop in one view |
| Profit is a guess | Margin by design, size and category |

## Does EliteTeQ work for boutiques and fabric shops in Ethiopia?

Yes. EliteTeQ works in Ethiopia with ETB pricing, telebirr, card and cash recorded on every sale, records ready for MOR and full offline mode.

Built for Ethiopian businesses with VAT records for the Ministry of Revenues (MOR), Birr (ETB) pricing, each telebirr, card or bank-transfer payment recorded against its sale, and full offline mode for areas with power and network cuts.

Addis Ababa holds most formal trade, with regional cities supplying wide catchments over long routes. Two things shape every system here: Amharic script and the Ethiopian calendar, which sets the local reporting periods.

- **Currency:** ETB
- **How customers pay:** telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, cards and bank transfers
- **Tax records:** Ready for MOR
- **Connectivity:** Keeps selling offline, syncs when back online

## What does a day in a boutique on EliteTeQ look like?

On EliteTeQ, a boutique runs from 08:30 to 19:00 in one system: sales, stock, staff and the close, with every figure live on the owner's phone.

_An illustrative day, not a customer story._

- **08:30** — Before opening, you check which sizes and colours sold out yesterday and what is left on each fabric roll.
- **10:00** — A new collection arrives. Each design is scanned in by size and colour, and the supplier invoice is recorded.
- **11:30** — Regulars who bought from the last collection get a WhatsApp message about the new arrivals.
- **13:00** — A customer buys 4.5 metres of lace for an occasion outfit, and the roll count updates on the spot.
- **15:00** — A customer brings back a dress for a bigger size. The exchange is recorded against the original sale.
- **16:30** — Branch 2 is out of the size M a customer wants. A transfer is sent from the main shop.
- **19:00** — Closing. Cash, telebirr and card reconcile against the day's sales.

## How do I set up EliteTeQ in my boutique?

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is a boutique POS the same as a card machine?

No. A card machine only takes card payments. A boutique POS like EliteTeQ tracks every size, colour and design as its own item, sells fabric by the yard, metre or bale from one stock, records exchanges against the sale and moves stock between branches. You can keep your card machine and record its payments against each sale.

### Can I track sizes and colours?

Yes. Each size and colour is its own variant with its own stock, so you can see which ones sell out and reorder only those.

### Can I sell fabric by the yard or metre?

Yes. Fabric can be sold by the yard, metre or whole bale from one stock record, so you always know what is left on every roll.

### Can I message customers about new arrivals?

Yes. Customers are saved with what they bought, and you can message them on WhatsApp.

### How are exchanges handled?

Returns and exchanges are recorded against the original sale, so you can see what was sold, when and at what price, and stock is updated for both sizes.

### Can I scan barcodes on clothing tags?

Yes. Scan to sell, to receive a delivery and to count stock, size by size and colour by colour.

### Can customers pay with telebirr?

Yes. EliteTeQ records telebirr, card and cash against each sale, so every payment method is accounted for and reconciles at closing.

### Can I manage several branches?

Yes. Each shop has its own stock. Move sizes and fabric between shops with a transfer, and compare branches side by side.

### Does it work offline?

Yes. The till keeps selling and printing receipts when the internet or power drops, and everything syncs when the connection returns.

### Can I see which designs make the most money?

Yes. EliteTeQ records the cost of what you buy, so reports show sales and margin by design, size, colour, category and branch.
