NOOLERP

Where it runs

In your shop. On your computer. Your data.

Nool is installed on a computer in your shop, not rented from a company's cloud. That one decision is why billing carries on when the internet goes, why nobody else holds your sales figures, and why there is no monthly bill.

01

On a computer in your shop

Your data lives on a machine you own, in your shop.

Nool is not rented from a company's cloud. It is installed on one computer in your shop — a separate machine for a busy store, or the office computer for a small one. It starts by itself when the computer is switched on, and comes back on its own after a power cut. Nobody has to log in to get it going.

  • Your sales and stock figures stay in your shop
  • Starts by itself, even after a power cut
  • Updates either finish completely or do not happen at all
  • Backs itself up every night, with a copy to your own Google Drive — and we test a restore at handover

02

Every device in the shop

The counter, the office and your staff's phones, all on the shop's own Wi-Fi.

Anything on the shop's Wi-Fi or cable uses the same Nool: the billing counter, a second counter for the weekend rush, the office computer entering supplier bills, and a phone in a salesman's hand checking whether a size is in stock. The screen fits whatever it is on.

  • Two or more counters, each with its own cash drawer and cash close
  • The office sees the same figures at the same moment
  • Phones and tablets for checking stock on the shop floor
  • Each person sees only what you allow them to

03

A second shop, or you at home

We recommend this

What we recommend once there is a second location.

A branch, or your own phone when you are away, reaches the same Nool through a secure private connection — not by opening your shop's computer to the whole internet. One set of accounts across both shops, stock and sales for each branch on its own, and no outside company holding your figures.

  • One Nool, more than one shop
  • Stock, sales and cash for each branch separately
  • See the shop from anywhere you have a connection
  • A private, secure connection — your computer is never open to the internet

04

When the internet goes

Billing carries on, because it never needed the internet in the first place.

The counter talks to the computer in your shop over your own Wi-Fi. If the broadband goes, the counter does not notice: bills are made, stock goes down, the accounts are kept. What does need the internet is anything from outside the shop — a branch, or you checking today's sales from home. We tell you that plainly rather than promising something impossible.

  • Billing, printing and accounts carry on through an internet cut
  • Tags and bills print locally — no internet needed to print
  • Branches and remote viewing carry on once the line is back

Why is Nool not in the cloud?

Almost every billing app today is rented, online, and holds your figures on its own computers. We built Nool the other way round, on purpose. Here is why, in plain terms.

  1. 01

    Nobody else can see your business

    A cloud billing app sees every bill you make, every supplier's price, every day's takings. With Nool, the only people who know your numbers are you and your accountant. The figures live on a computer in your shop, and they never leave it unless you send them somewhere.

  2. 02

    It cannot be switched off — not even by us

    There is no monthly rent to stop paying and no price rise you have to accept. And if our company closed tomorrow, your Nool would keep billing the next morning exactly as it did today. A cloud product stops the day its company does. Yours does not depend on our survival.

  3. 03

    You are not a target

    A company holding the figures of a lakh shops on one system is worth attacking, and if it is breached, you are in the pile with everyone else, and there is nothing you can do about it. One computer in your shop, with one shop's figures, is nobody's target — and it is under your control.

  4. 04

    It works when the internet does not

    Billing talks to the computer in your shop over your own Wi-Fi. When the broadband goes, the counter does not notice. A cloud app stops selling the moment the line drops, at whatever point in the day that happens to be.

And because a shop computer can be stolen, flooded, or simply die

Nool backs itself up every night on the shop computer, and on a schedule sends a copy to your own Google Drive, where only you can open it. Whenever you like, it will also copy everything to a pen drive or external disk that you take home. When we hand over, we restore one of those backups in front of you — because a backup nobody has tested is only a hope.

What we take care of, so you never have to

The computer Nool runs on is one nobody looks at until the day it matters. These are the things quietly looking after it.

Backups
Every night, on the shop computer, with a copy sent to your own Google Drive on a schedule. Any time you like, a copy to a pen drive or external disk you take home. We restore one at handover, so you know it works.
Health checks
It checks itself on a schedule, so a computer nobody looks at for a month is still one you can trust.
Power cuts
It starts with the computer and comes back on its own. Nobody has to log in.
Updates
An update either finishes completely or does not happen. It cannot leave things half done.
Testing
Around 55 sets of automatic tests check prices, tax, stock and accounts every time we change anything.
Printing
Bills and tags go straight to the printer. No pop-up boxes, no choosing a printer.
