Retail & boutiques

Sell the same stock in the shop and in the chat

TAB keeps your catalogue, orders and stock connected so you can sell from both places without losing track.

Your storefront link sits in your Instagram bio. It opens your catalogue with prices and photos, and it only shows what is actually on the rail.

A day in the shop

One record from opening to closing

What changes on an ordinary day once the counter, the chat and the link share the same stock.

Before you open

Yesterday's report is on your phone: what sold, what did not move, and which sizes are running low.

The four o'clock problem

What stops happening when the rail and the chat share one record

  • One stock count everywhere

    Today
    Someone walks to the rail to check
    With TAB
    The chat already knows what is left

    One count behind all three, so nothing is promised twice.

  • Instagram that takes orders

    Today
    “DM for price” under every post
    With TAB
    A shop link in your bio

    Followers see the price, pick a size and pay, without waiting for a reply.

  • Payments you do not have to match

    Today
    Transfers matched by hand at closing
    With TAB
    Each payment attached to its order

    Card and transfer arrive as one settlement, and your own machine still lines up.

  • Margin, not just takings

    Today
    Bestsellers known, the rest guessed
    With TAB
    What each line actually earned

    With a cost on every item, the report shows which lines earn their place.

Sizes and colours

A size 14 in blue is not the same item as a size 12 in blue

Most software counts a dress as one line. A boutique cannot: the 14 sells out while the 10 hangs on the rail.

In TAB every size and colour has its own count and price, and the last 14 comes off sale everywhere the moment it goes.

Every day in the shop

What a boutique uses TAB for

  • Sizes and colours as real stock

    Its own count, cost and price, off sale when it runs out.

  • Sell at the counter

    On the phone or tablet you own. No machine to rent.

  • A storefront link

    Your catalogue as a web page for your bio, a story or a flyer.

  • WhatsApp ordering

    Customers order and pay from your WhatsApp link, off the same stock.

  • Card, transfer or your own machine

    Card (NGN or USD) or transfer in TAB, or your own terminal, recorded.

  • Loyalty for your regulars

    Regulars earn points and tiers, and check their rewards themselves.

  • Suppliers and restocking

    Vendors, purchase orders, payables and expenses, in the optional back office.

  • Staff and branches

    Staff sell on their own login, and you switch between branches to compare them.

Margin, not takings

Know which lines earn, not just which ones sell

Every owner knows their bestsellers. Far fewer can say which lines earned, because the counter only recorded what came in.

Put a cost on each item and the report shows what each line earned, including the fast seller you have discounted into a loss.

Getting set up

From a spreadsheet to a shop link the same day

Opening the account takes minutes. Getting the catalogue right is the part worth doing properly once.

  1. Open your account

    Sign up from any browser. No hardware to wait for.

  2. Bring in your catalogue

    Import a spreadsheet, then tidy the awkward lines by hand.

  3. Add sizes and colours

    Each variant with its own count and price. This is the step that matters.

  4. Add costs and photos

    Costs unlock margin. Photos are what make the link worth sharing.

  5. Share your links

    Put the storefront link in your bio and the WhatsApp link wherever you talk to customers. Both work the day you sign up.

Under the counter

One catalogue behind the shop, the chat and the link

Not a bundle of separate tools. One login, one stock record and one set of numbers.
