See your business when you are away

For owners with a shop, a second branch or a factory floor they cannot watch all day.

See sales, stock and cash, approve what needs you, and get alerts without calling the shop.

10,000+ businesses run on Simplebks. 14-day trial, no card.

Run your business remotely, from one app

Simplebks lets you run the business from wherever you are. Your sales, stock, cash and staff are in one online account, so you see what happened, approve what needs you and get alerts without calling the shop.

It is built for the owner with a shop, a second branch or a factory floor that cannot be watched all day.

Start the day knowing

  • A morning brief on your phone. At 8:00 each morning the mobile app sends a summary of yesterday.
  • Overdue and low-stock alerts. A push at 9:00 when an invoice is 7, 14 or 30 days overdue, and at 10:00 for items that need restocking.
  • A monthly management report emailed from the 2nd of each month, with a PDF and an Excel workbook for the month just ended, so month-end lands in your inbox.
  • Alerts you choose. Notification settings let you switch alerts on and off.

Push alerts reach the phones where you are signed in to the Simplebks mobile app.

See the whole business

The supervisor overview shows today's sales, VAT, discounts, payments and exceptions across all your tills. Branch reports show sales, profit, cash, tax, top products and stock by branch.

Your dashboard shows your sales, cash and what customers owe you, and an activity feed shows what your team has done.

Approve from your own screen

When a cashier lacks permission for a discount, refund or credit sale, the request goes to your approvals queue and you approve, edit or reject it from your own screen.

A sale past a customer's credit limit waits for you. You can switch on approval for voiding invoices and deleting transactions, and every decision is kept in approval history.

Give staff exactly what they need

  • More than 240 individual permissions, ready-made roles and custom roles.
  • Team members limited to their own branch.
  • Cost and margin hidden from cashiers and counters.
  • A PIN for supervisors, so a manager can approve at the till.
  • Several businesses under one login. Switch between them without signing out.

When the internet drops

  • A 24-hour offline till on Enterprise. An approved till keeps selling for up to 24 hours with no connection, then syncs.

On your phone

The mobile app gives you invoices, contacts, products and stock, stock transfers, transactions, profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, notifications and Herbie. What you can open follows your plan and role.

Herbie on WhatsApp helps with how-to questions and connects you to Simplebks support. It does not show your sales or balances; ask in the app or on the web.

FAQ

Can I check my sales from my phone?

Yes. Use the Simplebks mobile app, or sign in to the web app from any browser. The mobile app sends a morning brief and alerts, and Herbie on the web answers questions about your sales.

Can I approve a discount or refund without being at the till?

Yes, on Professional and Enterprise. When a cashier lacks the permission, they send an approval request and you approve, edit or reject it from your own screen. A supervisor can also approve with a PIN at the till.

Can I see every branch in one place?

Yes. Branch reports show sales, profit, cash, tax, top products and stock by branch, and the register overview covers all your tills. Branches are on Professional and Enterprise.

What happens if the internet goes off at the shop?

Only on the Enterprise plan. An approved till keeps selling for up to 24 hours with no connection, then syncs. On Free, Basic and Professional you need a connection to sell.

Can I limit what my staff see?

Yes. Give each person a role, limit them to a branch, and hide cost and margin from cashiers and counters.

Which plan do I need?

Free and Basic give you the web app, Herbie and the monthly report. Professional adds the register overview, till approvals and branches. Enterprise adds the 24-hour offline till. See pricing.
