Dukaan POS
Each colour and size of a bag is its own product. For a shop with a manageable range that is acceptable, and names such as design, size, colour keep it organised. A very large range would be better served by a variant-based system.
1Pieces and prices
Each bag has a cost and a price. Bill by name search, apply a bill discount when a customer buys several, and print the receipt. Prices differ widely, so the profit report is worth reading by category.
Profit by type of bag
Example monthly profit
2School and travel seasons
School bags peak before term and luggage before holidays and weddings. Read last year's product sales, raise minimums on the designs that ran out, and use discounts to clear leftovers afterwards.
A good fit
- A limited range
- School and travel seasons
- Discounts and deposits
Not a fit
- Large variant ranges
- Scanned labels
- Warranty records
3Bulk and school orders
Schools and institutions order in numbers. Bill the order, take a deposit and keep the balance on their account until delivery or payment.
🧮 Profit and margin calculator
Margin is profit as a share of the selling price. Markup is profit as a share of cost.
4Costly items
Branded suitcases are expensive. Stock valuation shows how much money sits in them, and counts catch missing pieces early.
5Supplier accounts
Bags come from importers and local makers on credit. Record each delivery and payment, keep pay-by dates and compare statements before paying.
6Returns
Defects and exchanges happen. Record returns against the original bill so stock and refund stay correct, and mark faulty pieces as damage if the supplier will not replace them.
7A worked example
A school bag costs Rs 1,400 and sells at Rs 2,200. In the weeks before term you sell 140 of a popular design. The report shows Rs 112,000 of profit from that design alone, against Rs 9,000 from a slow one. That comparison tells you where to put money next year.
8Handling bulk and institutional orders
A school may order 60 bags and 60 water bottles. Bill them as one sale with an agreed discount, take a deposit and keep the balance on the school's page. When the school pays, record it and the account closes, with no separate paperwork to match.
9Display, loss and counts
Bags are bulky and displayed openly. Count your top designs monthly, enter differences as adjustments, and write off damaged pieces. Stock valuation then shows the value actually on the shelf, which is the figure that matters when you plan the next season's purchase.
10What to test in the free trial
Add ten designs, bill a mock school order with a deposit and a discount, and open the school's page. Then write off a damaged piece and read the report. If you can live with colours and sizes as separate products, the app covers your daily needs.
11Pricing across the range
Bag prices run from a few hundred to tens of thousands of rupees, so margin percentages differ. Read profit by category rather than by item: school bags might earn 36%, travel luggage 22%. That shows where your selling time pays off most, and where discounts should be kept tight.
12Display and photos
Keep one product per design and size so counts stay clear, and take your own photos for social posts; the app does not store images.
