  • → Import purchase item lists directly from Excel
  • → Rework notes and full revision history on every order

★★★★★

Before Smooth, I had no idea what was in my warehouse without a full physical count. Now I can check any item, any warehouse, at any time. The purchase approval alone saved me from receiving the wrong goods twice in the first month.

★★★★★

My biggest problem was knowing which staff member sold which piece and at what price. Smooth solved that completely. I can see every gram sold, by whom, and to which customer — all from one screen. It changed how I manage my shop.

★★★★★

The credit sales tracking is exactly what I needed. I always knew I had outstanding collections but could never tell the exact number. Now I can pull up every customer's balance, every invoice, and every payment in seconds.
