Features
One system for the whole operation
Owwel is a business operations system: the till, the stock room, the team, the cash and the reports in one place, so a sale updates stock, commission and the day's balance the moment it happens. Each part below has its own page.
Accounting
Accounts receivable and payable, FIFO inventory valuation and real cost of goods sold, daily bank and mobile-money reconciliation, equity and profit distribution, multi-entity consolidation, an audit trail and financial statements, all built from the day's trading.
See every accounting featurePoint of sale
A point of sale for shops and service businesses: barcode and camera scanning, product photos, retail and wholesale prices, split payments, credit, sales on hold and receipts on a thermal printer or A4.
Read moreOffline POS
Owwel's point of sale keeps selling without an internet connection. Sales are kept on the device and sent automatically when the connection returns, each recorded exactly once.
Read moreFIFO stock control
FIFO inventory valuation: each delivery is a dated batch with its own cost and expiry, the oldest sells first and cost of goods sold uses real costs.
Read moreStock taking and Rapid Entry
Count stock with several people at once from their own phones, see every product that is over or short before adjusting, and enter or correct hundreds of products in one grid.
Read moreExcel and CSV import
Download your stock to Excel, change names, prices, categories and quantities, and upload it back. Owwel shows exactly what changes on each product first and never creates a second copy.
Read moreMulti-entity and multi-currency
Multi-entity, multi-currency accounting: each branch keeps its own books and currency, up to 5 businesses on one login, with a consolidated view.
Read moreDaily close and reconciliation
Daily bank and mobile-money reconciliation: at the end of each day, check counted cash, M-Pesa, bank and card against trading, with differences flagged.
Read morePayment channels and transfers
Inter-account transfers and bank charges: keep M-Pesa, bank and card as separate accounts, move money between them and count every fee as a real cost.
Read moreStaff, roles and commission expenses
Commission expenses posted to the books: record who sold or served each line, pay commission by cash or mobile money into expenses, and set permissions.
Read moreStaff attendance
Staff check in and out at a badge kiosk by the door. Shifts can differ by day of the week, and late arrivals and overtime are worked out against them automatically.
Read moreStaff portal
Each team member signs in with their own PIN to see today's tasks, start and finish their services, and check their month and their rating, from their own phone.
Read moreOwner portal
Owners sign in with their phone number and a PIN to see every branch's money, performance, reports and alerts from their phone, without the full back office.
Read moreFinancial statements and reports
Financial statements and management reports: profit and loss with real cost of goods sold, income statement, owner's report, cash and stock reports.
Read moreAccounts receivable and credit
Accounts receivable for small business: sell on credit to named customers, apply part payments to invoices, see what is overdue and print each statement.
Read moreBookings and services
Book appointments against a client and a staff member, take payment from the booking, propose priced service plans after a consultation, rate finished services and cost the product a service uses.
Read moreExpenses and accounts payable
Expense management and accounts payable: leave bills unpaid and settle them later, approve staff expenses, set budgets and use recurring templates.
Read moreShareholder equity and profit sharing
Equity accounting for partners: track each shareholder's capital and ownership, and distribute profit (dividends) capped at profit made.
Read moreAyuuto group savings
Run an ayuuto across your branches: each branch pays a set amount each day into a group pot, a branch that cannot pay its share is covered by another, and that debt is tracked until settled.
Read moreAlso included
Secure files vault
PIN protected storage for licences, contracts and documents, locked behind a second factor even inside your own account, with recovery codes if the PIN is lost.
Audit trail
Who changed what, and when, written by the database as the change happens. Sign-ins, failed sign-ins and file downloads are recorded alongside record changes.
SMS marketing
Send a campaign to your customers by SMS, with delivery tracked per recipient and opt-outs honoured on everything sent afterwards. Included on every plan.
Curtains and fabric
For shops that sell by the metre: fabric recorded as a stock sheet, counted roll by roll or in total metres, cut against an order and moved between branches.
Developer API
Read and write your own data from other software with an API key. The documentation is public for the developer you hire.
Everything above is on every plan except where marked. See the plans, or how Owwel compares with QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho, Odoo and Sage.
