Take and confirm customer orders
Build a sales order from catalogue defaults, calculate line totals, and send it through the confirmation task before the store fulfils it.
Explore Sales OrdersRetail operations solution
BusinessIntents brings sales orders, replenishment, stock movements, delivery documents, invoicing, and staff administration together for shops and retail chains.
Behind that workflow, the software stores products, customers, suppliers, stores, sales and purchase orders, inventory movements, invoices, payments, employee leave, and payroll records. It covers retail back-office operations; point of sale and cash-register work are not part of the current solution.
Use the ready-to-run retail structure, then adapt documents, fields, approvals, reports, or modules when your operation needs a different rule.
Back-office retail control
Draft orders do not change inventory. Stock moves when receipts, issues, transfers, returns, adjustments, or stocktakes post to the signed movement ledger. On-hand is then calculated from those movements by product and store, leaving a document trail behind every quantity.

Record the customer order, products, quantities, prices, store, and totals.
Issue the goods and post the ledger movements only when the dispatch is final.
Order from the supplier and receive stock into the chosen store when it arrives.
Issue the customer invoice, record payments, and follow balances alongside the journal.
Orders in practice
A sales order records the fulfilling store before stock moves. Confirmation hands the order to fulfilment, while the later goods issue and delivery note remain separate, linked documents.
The operation around the store
The Retail solution includes the records around the stock workflow, not only the movement ledger.
The documented solution covers retail back-office work. Point of sale, barcode scanning, cash-register shift handling, and loyalty programmes are not currently modelled.
A configurable starting point
Documents, fields, approval paths, reports, and business areas can be adapted on request when the standard Retail solution is close but does not match an operating rule.
Try BusinessIntentsDecision-stage answers
It is designed for shops and retail chains that need back-office control of customer orders, purchasing, stock across stores, delivery paperwork, invoicing, payments, staff administration, and accounting.
