For boutiques & clothing shops

Boutique software that shows you what isn't selling

The fast movers look after themselves. The money that hurts is tied up in the rail nobody has touched for two months — and that only becomes obvious when it's written down.

Stock you can't see is money you can't use

A boutique's capital is on the rails. Every piece that hasn't sold is cash you already spent, sitting still, and the longer it sits the more it costs you in shop rent and the orders you couldn't afford to place.

The trouble is that slow stock is invisible day to day. You notice what sells because you handle it; you don't notice the six dresses at the back because nobody asks for them.

PesaScope keeps the count and ranks what actually earns, so the reorder decision is based on the shop rather than on memory.

How a boutique runs it

  1. Add stock when it arrivesWhat you bought and what it cost. The buying price is what makes every later margin figure true.
  2. Sell from the phonePick the item, take cash or Mobile Money, and the count comes down. A discount can be applied on the sale where you'd normally just round the price down.
  3. Let a regular pay later if you mustPart payment now, balance recorded against their name — with a date, so it isn't awkward to ask three weeks on.
  4. Look at the ranking each weekThe Monday summary lists your top earners. What's absent from that list, week after week, is what to stop reordering.

A starting list you'll replace

Pick "Clothing" at sign-up and you get a skeleton across Menswear, Womenswear and Accessories. In a boutique you'll swap almost all of it for your own pieces — the point is that you're adding, not starting from an empty screen.

Trousers Shirts Dresses Shoes

Add each line as you carry it. If sizes matter to your buying, set them up as separate products so the counts stay meaningful.

Two rails, one month

Dresses — 22 sold at 65,000UGX 1,430,000
Dresses — bought at 38,000− UGX 836,000
Shoes — 5 sold at 90,000UGX 450,000
Shoes — bought at 62,000− UGX 310,000
Shoes still on the rail — 15 pairsUGX 930,000 tied up
Kept on these two linesUGX 734,000

The shoes earned less and hold nearly a million shillings of stock. That's the comparison that changes the next order.

Questions boutique owners ask

Can I handle sizes and colours?

Set each variant up as its own product — "Dress (M)" and "Dress (L)" — so the counts and the reorder decision stay accurate. There isn't a separate size grid.

Can I give a discount at the till?

Yes, on the sale itself, so the discount is visible in your figures rather than hidden in a lowered price.

How do I know what isn't moving?

The top-earners list shows what's working. Anything holding stock value and never appearing there is your slow money, and the stock report shows how much is tied up in it.

I buy from Kampala and Dubai at different prices. Does that work?

Yes — the buying price is per item, so update it when the cost changes and future sales use the new margin.

Can I use it at a market stall with no power?

The main app needs a connection to record. The separate POS till app keeps selling offline, saves on the device, and syncs to your books once you are back online.

Is there a receipt for customers?

Yes, and you can send it over WhatsApp, which is what most boutiques use rather than printing.
