Sellka is a record book for one small shop, on an Android phone. The owner writes down each sale at the counter, and Sellka keeps the shop's sales, stock, and money owed in both directions, then shows what the shop sold, what it kept, who owes it and what is running low.
It is made for a duka, a kiosk, a spaza shop, a provision store, a mini market, a kirana store or a sari-sari store: one counter, one owner, sometimes one helper.
What it does:
- Record a sale in cash, on credit or part of each, with the total added up and the change worked out.
- Scan a barcode with the phone's own camera. No separate scanner.
- Add products with the camera: one photo of each product on the shelf, and Sellka reads the name off the packet.
- Stock goes down as you sell, with a warning when a product is running low.
- Who owes you, by name, and what you owe each supplier.
- Money in and out: rent, transport, wages and money taken for yourself, kept apart so the shop's earnings are not overstated.
- Six questions answered from the phone's own records, such as who owes me and what is running out.
- Reports for a day, a week, a month or a year, as PDF, Word or Excel.
It works with no internet. Recording a sale, adding stock, reading the day and making a report never need a connection. Naming a product from a photo does.
There is no account to make. The records stay on the phone, and a copy in the owner's own Google account exists only if the owner turns it on.
Recording sales and stock has no limit. A plan adds the longer reports and a larger product list, bought inside the app through Google Play.
A test program traded a busy shop through Sellka's own screens for a full year, 39,174 records, and compared every figure with a separate set of books. None was different.
