Built for perfume and cosmetics shops
Software for perfume and cosmetics shops
A perfume or cosmetics shop carries hundreds of lines that look alike on the shelf: the same scent in three sizes, testers, gift sets, skincare with a shelf life. New stock arrives with new prices, staff are tempted to discount, and a full count takes days. Owwel is built around exactly that shelf.
What usually goes wrong in perfume and cosmetics shops
These are the gaps that quietly cost money every month. Each one has a direct answer below.
Counting hundreds of near identical lines takes days, so it rarely happens
Skincare and creams pass their date before anyone notices
Testers and samples leave the shelf without ever being recorded
Every new shipment changes prices, and updating them one by one never gets finished
Staff give discounts below what the owner would ever accept
Each branch prices in its own currency and nothing adds up across them
How Owwel handles it
A count the whole team does at once
Open a stock check, share its QR code, and every staff member scans and counts from their own phone into the same session. The Difference column shows each product that is over or short before anything is adjusted.
Expiry tracked by batch
Each delivery is a dated batch with its own cost and expiry. Sales take the oldest batch first, and anything close to its date is flagged while it can still be sold.
Testers and samples recorded, not lost
Record a tester or a sample as stock taken out for that reason. It leaves the count with its cost, so the shelf and the books agree and the cost of samples is visible.
New prices from Excel in one upload
Download your stock, change the prices and quantities in Excel, and upload it back. Owwel shows exactly what changes on each product before applying it, and never creates a second copy of a product you already have.
A floor under every price
Set a minimum price per product. The till refuses a price typed below it, and a discount that takes a sale under it is flagged to the owner the moment it happens.
Every branch in its own currency
A branch in Nairobi keeps shillings and one in Hargeisa keeps dollars, each with its own books, and the owner sees all of them from one login.
