The day-to-day problems this module is designed to remove.
The manager in Arusha sends a photo of the daily sales book on WhatsApp, sometimes the next morning. By then a bad day has already turned into a bad week.
Ten cartons leave the main shop for the second branch in a bodaboda, and the receiving shop counts eight. Without a recorded transfer nobody can say where the other two went.
Customers walk away empty-handed at one shop while the same product gathers dust two streets away, because nobody can see both shelves at once.
Separate exercise books, separate spreadsheets and separate tills mean month-end is spent adding up figures that never quite agree.
Each new location needs its product list, prices and staff set up from scratch, which delays opening day and invites mistakes.
Add your shops, branches and warehouses as business locations under one account. Switch between them to see one branch at a time, or look across the whole business. The owner in Dar es Salaam sees the Dodoma branch's sales as they happen.
Each branch keeps its own stock count, and every sale at its till reduces that branch's balance only. You can see at a glance that the main shop holds 120 tins of cooking oil while the second branch is down to 6. Low-stock alerts tell you which location needs attention.
When stock moves from the warehouse to a shop, or from one branch to another, you record it as a transfer. The sending location's stock goes down and the receiving location's goes up, with the date and quantities kept on file. If a carton goes missing on the way, the gap shows up against a named transfer.
Compare branches on sales and stock. Reports export to Excel, PDF or CSV, or go straight to WhatsApp, so a weekly branch review takes minutes. You can spot the shop that sells well but keeps too much stock, or the one whose sales dropped this month.
Give staff the Admin, Manager or Cashier role so each person only does what their job needs. A cashier rings up sales, a manager handles stock and reports, and the owner keeps full control of settings and prices.
Your product list lives in one place, so a new branch opens with the catalogue already set up. Bulk import from Excel saves typing when you first move across. On plans with CRM, a customer's history and credit balance follow them whichever branch they buy from.
An example: a building supplies business with a warehouse in Ubungo and two shops.
The Mbezi shop's stock report shows only 4 bags of cement left, while the warehouse holds 300. The low-stock alert has already flagged it.
The warehouse manager creates a transfer of 50 bags to Mbezi. The warehouse balance drops to 250 straight away.
The transfer adds 50 bags to the Mbezi shop's stock, so the cashier there can sell them as soon as the lorry is unloaded.
Each bag sold at Mbezi reduces only Mbezi's stock, and the owner sees those sales on the dashboard from wherever they are.
The transfer report shows every movement between locations, so the monthly stock count can be checked against a written record.

Illustrative view: sales and stock for each branch on one screen, with a transfer from the warehouse in progress.
You can check a branch's sales and stock from your phone, so you can plan your visits around what the numbers show.
Every transfer and adjustment has a date and a location attached. A shortage can be followed back to the movement where it appeared.
Moving stock to the branch that is selling it means you buy less to cover gaps that were never real.
Products, prices and roles are already set up, so a new location needs a till, staff logins and a first transfer of stock.
Branch sales feed the same reports and books, so month-end starts from numbers that already agree.
“Started on the free trial. By week 2, we had 3 branches on it. The inventory tracking across stores is what makes SmartBiashara different from everything else we tried.”

Multi-store management is available from the Basic plan, which covers up to 3 business locations at TSh 35,000 a month.

Yes. SmartBiashara runs in any web browser, so you can open the dashboard on a phone, tablet or laptop. Switch between locations or view the whole business at once.
You record an inter-store transfer in the system. The sending location's stock goes down and the receiving location's goes up, and the transfer stays in the history with its date and quantities. That record is what lets you trace a shortage later.
Yes. Staff are given Admin, Manager or Cashier roles, so cashiers sell while managers handle stock and reports. The number of users depends on your plan: 10 on Basic, 20 on Standard and 100 on Enterprise.
No. Products and prices are set up once for the business and shared across locations, while each location keeps its own stock quantity. You can bulk-import your product list from Excel when you start.
The point of sale is offline-ready, so a branch can keep selling during a connection drop. If your branches often lose connection, ask our team how to set them up.
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no credit card is required. You can set up your branches, record a transfer and run branch reports with your own products before deciding.
Start a 14-day free trial, add your shops and warehouse, and record your first transfer. If you want help planning the setup, our team is on WhatsApp at +255 749 900 050, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm.
