About EFLInventory-V2

EFLInventory V2 is a simple-to-use, web and PC inventory and point-of-sale application written in PHP using Laravel framework. It uses MySQL as the data backend and has a Bootstrap 4 material-like user interface. It is designed to assist small-scale retail stores with keeping track of items and inventory, and generate reports based on inventory, purchases and sales.

Well, What Can I Do With It?

• Manage products and product variations
• Manage product categories and sub-categories
• Stock products by batch. Enables proper handling of product expiry date, product price change, e.t.c.
• Record damaged products.
• Generate a range of purchase and sales reports
• Easily migrate from existing records (using a predefined Excel template)
• Track and record major user actions such as create, update and delete. When you have more than 1 staff selling and/or managing products, you might one day want to know who did what.
• Assign roles to users. Default available roles are "Manager" and "Employee". No much option for now. Future updates will allow custom roles and defining actions for such roles. You can also make a request if you really do need one and can't fix it on your own
• Stock and sell products using a barcode scanner
• Sell products from point-of-sale (POS) with good-looking UI and great options
• Print sales receipt for every POS sale
