THE COMPLETE RETAIL LOOP
More than a point of sale
IntelliVision connects what happens at the counter to the stock, supplier, cash and accounting records an owner needs to run the business.

Accounts from real operations
Sales, purchases and expenses feed the ledger so the owner can review monthly profit, financial position and cash flow.

- Month-by-month statements
FROM FIRST SETUP TO MONTH-END
How the owner actually uses it
The owner can run every step alone. As staff are added, the same steps separate into protected roles without creating a second version of the business.
Read the owner tutorial →Set up or bring the old system across
Confirm the shop, region, tax status and working roles. Imported details are staged for a final human review.
Load products and opening stock
Import supported exports with rejected rows shown clearly, or add and scan items inside Stock & Items.
Open the shop and sell
The till keeps working locally, records the sale atomically and reduces stock when checkout completes.
Order and receive replenishment
Create a PO, receive matching lines through GRV and let the item cost update from the goods actually received.
Close the shift and review exceptions
Count the drawer, compare the expected cash, record over or short and hand the result to the owner.
Review the month and tax period
The owner reviews the balanced ledger and statements, then prepares VAT figures where the business is registered.
RIGHT-SIZED FOR THE SHOP
One person today. A larger team tomorrow.
The dashboard starts simple and reveals tools as the business adds people, account sales or branches.
Owner does everything
Sell, receive stock, cash up and check the books using one owner profile. No staffing setup is forced.

LINKED CASE · PACK · SINGLE STOCK
Buy by the case. Sell exactly how the shelf works.
Give a product separate case, pack and single barcodes, prices and selling rules. Receive supplier cases without pretending they are singles, then sell the sealed case, the pack or each item—while IntelliVision keeps one accountable stock total and one cost per base unit.
Opening stock changes its physical form only: one case becomes four 6-packs without creating inventory or changing its value. Refunds restore the form that was sold, and stocktake counts every form separately.
LIVE STOCK EXAMPLE · 72 CANS TOTAL
2Cases × 24
3Six-packs × 6
6Loose singles × 1
Open 1 case→−1 case +4 six-packs→still 72 cans
- Each barcode deducts its exact physical form and base quantity.
- Case cost becomes a weighted cost per single for correct COGS.
- Cashiers cannot open sealed stock unless the owner grants permission.
- Loose tobacco selling is compliance-held in South Africa; sealed packs remain supported.
CUSTOMER SCREEN · FRESH COUNTERS · EXPIRY LOTS
Grow from one till into a full-service supermarket.
Open a read-only customer screen on the second monitor without another login, or give a tablet its own Customer Display login scoped to one branch and till lane. The local screen follows the live basket, savings, tax and total while exposing no staff navigation or editing controls. Pair a separate physical device through Connected Mode and it receives that assigned lane's basket online while queued updates recover after an outage.
Turn on fruit & vegetables, deli, butchery, cheese, bakery and coffee independently as the store grows. Weighed counters prepare a valid EAN-13 scale label for the main till; each-price counters use the item barcode or SKU.
OWNER-CONTROLLED · SWITCH ON ONLY WHAT YOU USE
6Fresh departments
1Shared catalogue & books
0Extra customer logins
- Customer display is read-only; browser or operating-system kiosk mode provides the physical screen lock.
- Expiry can be enabled in Business Setup, on a product, or for a line while purchasing.
- A tracked delivery cannot increase stock without its supplier lot and valid expiry date.
- Package-form counts and expiry-batch counts remain separate, preventing partial or contradictory stocktakes.
OPTIONAL SOUTH AFRICA REFERENCE HELP
Scan an unfamiliar barcode. Confirm before adding.
South African businesses can use the bundled 7,772-item barcode reference to suggest product details when an unknown item is scanned. The owner reviews the suggestion and supplies the real selling price, cost and tax treatment before anything is created.
It is never forced. The owner can switch help on or off separately for adding products, purchasing and Point of Sale. Existing products always scan normally.

CHANGEOVER WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL
Bring the history. Keep ownership of the data.
Migration and backups are part of the operating system—not an afterthought after the first sale.
Change over from the current POS
Use guided exports, a local folder, a spreadsheet or supported account connections. Preview the rows before committing the import.
- No silent losses: rejected rows show their reason
- Keep context: bring sales history and customer accounts
- Local option: read the old till folder on this machine
Your business is not held hostage
The operating record stays on this device until the owner chooses Connected Mode.
- Recoverable: encrypted backup and proven restore
- Portable: export everything and leave at any time
- Honest boundaries: no simulated payment, filing or approval
Receipts and drawers only when connected
The till pairs a supported Bluetooth ESC/POS printer. If no device handshake exists, IntelliVision says nothing was printed and sends no cash-drawer command.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What an owner normally asks first
Can I run the whole shop myself?
Yes. The owner profile can sell, manage stock, receive purchases, cash up and review the accounts. Team roles are optional until you add staff.
What happens during load-shedding or no internet?
The local till keeps selling without a network connection. The core sale and stock record are stored on the device.
Must I use the South Africa barcode reference?
No. All three reference-help switches start off. The owner may enable Products, Purchasing or POS independently, and may turn them off again.
Can I buy cases but sell packs or singles?
Yes. Link each physical form to the same product, give each form its own barcode and price, and choose which forms may be bought or sold. Opening a case or pack is permission-controlled and leaves total stock and inventory value unchanged.
Does the customer-facing screen need another login?
No for a second monitor on the same till computer. For a tablet or separate computer, the owner creates a Customer Display login scoped to one branch and till lane, then pairs the device with a single-use Connected Mode code. That login exposes only the read-only display. Use browser full-screen or operating-system kiosk mode for the physical lock.
Can I add deli, produce, meat, cheese or coffee later?
Yes. Each fresh department is switched on independently. Weighed departments create scannable scale labels, while bakery and coffee can use ordinary each-price barcodes. Existing stock is preserved when a department is switched off.
Is expiry tracking forced on every product?
No. The owner may enable the expiry workflow globally, mark only selected products, or request lot and expiry capture on a purchase line. Once requested for a delivery, receiving fails closed until the lot and expiry are supplied.
Does the system pretend card or printer success?
No. Unsupported payments fail closed, and the till reports a print only after a real connected printer returns a result.
Try the till. Then follow the sale.
