Eleven items, half of them by the dozen, and four more parents behind her with the same list. Tap the item, set the count, done — and the next one is faster because the list is now yours too.

AT THE COUNTER
A parent with a list from the school
A stationery shop opens on **this month's sales**, not today's. It is the second trade on this list whose first figure is different, and the reason is the season: a single day in November says nothing here, and the month says everything.
SAME APP, YOUR SHOP
Three things that are different here
Personalisation in this product is defaults, a bounded set of tools, and vocabulary — never a separate app per trade. What follows is the whole of what changes.
The units a stationer counts in
Pieces first, then packs, then dozens, then grams — a register is one, chalk is a pack, pencils are a dozen.
Built for a wide, shallow shelf
A stationery shop carries a great many things and very few of each, so the app is built to find an item by typing three letters rather than by scrolling a category tree.
Udhaar for the regulars, not the walk-ins
The khata is there for the school and the office that settle monthly, and it stays out of the way for the eighty percent of bills that are cash.
WHAT ARRIVES SET UP
What a stationery gets on the first screen
Not a demo. This is the actual configuration the app applies when you pick Stationery at sign-up — the same data the app itself reads.
The units, in this order
- Piece
- Pack
- Dozen
- G
The first one is the default, because it is what this trade sells most of. Every quantity in the app carries its unit — there is no bare number anywhere.
The tools this turns on
- Stock, in units
And nothing else. A trade is only offered at sign-up once every tool it needs has actually shipped — 59 of 172 trades pass that test today.
The items it starts you with
Tap to add, then set your own price. They are a guess at your shelf and you will correct some of them — that is expected, and it is why they live on the server rather than inside an app release.

Twelve of 28. The rest of the pack is in the app — this table is here so you can check the list is really your shelf, and a dozen rows settles that faster than 28 does.
Low-stock warnings start at 10, which is a starting point for this trade rather than a rule. Change it per item.
NOT YOUR TRADE?
58 others have a page, and 59 trades are live
Each of these is a different unit list, a different set of tools and a different first figure — not this page with a word swapped. The nearest ones first.
Try it on your counter
Free, on Google Play, and set up by you in the time it takes to put ten items in — the ones you sell most. The rest of the shelf goes in as it sells.
