About
A new product. Not new hands.
CodeFarmers OPC Pvt Ltd is a young company, and we would rather say so than dress it up. What is not young is the 10 years of retail ERP work behind this product.
Most retail software is written outward from a general idea of a shop and then adapted to whatever trade buys it. Nool was written the other way round: inward from one cloth shop, from the way that shop actually buys, tickets, sells and counts.
That is why a garment here is a piece rather than a quantity, why the purchase grid is built for someone reading down a supplier’s docket with both hands on the keyboard, why the tag price is treated as MRP with the tax carved out of it, and why the tags come off a thermal printer in the shop rather than through a browser dialog.
Underneath it is a real double-entry ledger, because a shop’s takings are not a list of sales — they are money that has to be accounted for. And it runs on a machine in the shop, because a counter that stops when the broadband stops is not a counter.
We are at the beginning. There is no long customer list to show you, and we are not going to invent one. What we can do is put the software in front of you with your own stock in it and let you judge it.
The name
நூல்
nool · Tamil
- Thread
- Yarn, fibre, the thread a garment is made of — and the thread this software keeps hold of, from the supplier’s bill to the customer’s hand, one piece at a time.
- Book
- In the same word, Tamil also says book — a text, a treatise, an account of something. Which is the other half: a real double-entry ledger underneath every sale.
One word for both halves of the product. That is the whole idea: the thread and the book, kept together, so what is on your shelf and what is in your accounts are never two different stories.
Come and see it work on your own stock.
The quickest way to judge Nool is to watch a piece go from a supplier's bill to a printed tag to a bill at the counter. That takes about ten minutes.
