A sale record that answers the questions you ask later
Who sold it, when, at which branch, for how much, and how the money came in. The answers are on the sale itself, not in somebody's memory.
A name on every sale
Each sale carries the staff member who made it, so a shortfall becomes a question about a specific day and a specific person.
Paid the way customers really pay
Cash, transfer, card, POS or credit, split across methods or paid in parts, with the balance owed kept on the sale.
Returns that keep the figures honest
Items returned and money refunded against the original sale, so the day's takings still add up afterwards.

PaidOrders from WhatsApp and the phone, on the same list
Half of Nigerian selling happens in a chat. Those orders belong in the same record as the counter, with the stock held the moment the customer says yes.
Every channel labelled
Counter, phone, WhatsApp and online store sales in one list, each marked with where it came from.
Ordered to delivered
Pending, paid, packed and delivered, so everyone can see where an order is without asking.
Stock held, not sold twice
An order holds its stock as soon as it is taken, so the last unit cannot go to two customers.

Reports
Profit per branch, worked out on what the goods actually cost
Takings are easy to count. Profit is where most sales tracking falls apart, because the cost behind each item is a number someone typed in once and never updated. Here the cost comes from the purchase order the stock arrived on, shipping included, so the margin on a report is the margin you made.
- Sales and profit, per branch and in total
- Who sold what, per staff member
- Your best customers, and what they buy
- Exports for your accountant

What sales management software has to handle in Nigeria
Most sales software is built for a card tap and a printed receipt. A Nigerian counter is a different place, and software that ignores that ends up next to a notebook rather than replacing it.
- One sale, two payment methods
- Part transfer, part cash is ordinary. A sale has to take more than one payment, by more than one method, and still total correctly.
- Pay small small
- Regular customers take goods and pay over weeks. That balance has to sit on the sale and on the customer, not in a separate exercise book.
- The order came in on WhatsApp
- Chat orders are sales, with stock that must be held while the customer arranges payment and the rider is booked.
- More than one branch
- Each branch's takings need to stand on their own, comparable with the others, while the owner sees the total without adding anything up.
- VAT that may already be in the price
- Many shops quote prices with VAT inside. The software has to show the tax correctly either way, not force one convention on every business.

Questions about sales management software in Nigeria
Asked most often by owners moving off a notebook, a spreadsheet or a till that only knows about cash.
What is sales management software?
Software that records every sale as it happens: what was sold, to whom, by which staff member, at which branch and how it was paid. Good sales management software in Nigeria also handles what actually happens at a Nigerian counter: part payments, customers who pay later, a split between transfer and cash, and orders that arrive on WhatsApp rather than at the till.
Can I record sales from WhatsApp and phone calls, not just the counter?
Yes. Every sale carries its channel: counter, phone, WhatsApp or the online store. An order taken in a chat holds its stock straight away, then moves through paid, packed and delivered, so nobody sells the same item to a walk-in customer while the rider is on the way.
How are part payments and credit sales handled?
A sale can be unpaid, part paid or paid. Payments are recorded against the sale as they come in, by cash, transfer, card, POS terminal or on credit, and what the customer still owes stays on the sale and on their customer record until it is settled.
Can I see sales per branch and per staff member?
Yes. Every sale records the branch and the person who made it. The sales, profit, staff and customer reports break the figures down by each, so you can compare branches directly and see who is selling what. On Growth and Scale, staff can be limited to their own branch, so a cashier at Lekki only ever sees Lekki.
How does it work out profit?
From what each item actually cost you. When stock is received against a purchase order, its cost, including any shipping spread across the goods, becomes the cost behind every later sale. Profit is the selling price less that real cost, not a margin someone typed in once.
What about returns and refunds?
Items can be returned against the original sale, and money refunded against it, with both kept on the sale's activity record. The sale shows what was sold, what came back and what was refunded, so the day's figures stay honest after a return.
Does it handle VAT?
Yes. You set your tax rates once and choose whether your prices already include tax. Each sale then shows the tax inside or on top of the total, line by line, and receipts and invoices carry the same figures.
How much does sales management software cost in Nigeria?
Recording sales starts on the Starter plan, which also includes the online store and up to three branches. Growth adds the profit, staff and customer reports, stock tracking and staff limited to their own branch. The exact prices are on the pricing page, and there is a free plan to start your account on.

Every one of these runs on the same record, so adding a second is a setting rather than another system to reconcile against the first.
