# Toy Store

> How Bizaxl supports toy retail businesses - from supplier procurement and stock management through counter billing, payment collection, and GST compliance, all in one connected system.

A toy store operates at the crossroads of fast-moving retail and detailed inventory control. You source toys from multiple suppliers across categories like educational toys, action figures, games and puzzles, and dolls. Stock arrives in boxes, needs to be checked, shelved, and tracked. Customers walk in, browse, and expect a fast, friendly checkout experience. And at the end of every day, you need to know exactly what sold, what is running low, and what your cash position looks like.

Managing a toy store without a proper system means juggling spreadsheets for stock, a separate billing machine at the counter, and manual calculations for GST. Mistakes are common - running out of a popular toy, overbilling a customer, missing a supplier payment. Bizaxl brings all of this under one roof.

## What This System Does for Your Business

Bizaxl gives your toy store a single, connected platform that covers every operation from the moment you raise a purchase order to the moment a customer walks out the door with their purchase.

* **Counter billing with POS**: a fast point-of-sale terminal for walk-in customers, accepting cash, card, and UPI payments
* **Toy catalogue management**: organise your product range across five categories - Educational Toys, Action Toys, Games and Puzzles, Dolls and Figures, and Accessories - with selling prices, purchase prices, and shelf locations
* **Multi-warehouse stock control**: track inventory across your Main Store, Inward Store, and Rejected Warehouse so you always know what is available where
* **Procurement from suppliers**: raise purchase orders, receive goods into your inward store, and push approved stock to the main store shelf
* **Sales beyond the counter**: raise quotations and sales orders for schools, event organisers, and bulk buyers, and invoice them with a full paper trail
* **Daily cash and payment tracking**: see today's sales, yesterday's sales, current cash balance, and bank balance from the home screen
* **GST compliance**: automatically compute GST on every sale and purchase, with HSN codes on every toy item, ready for your monthly filings
* **Low stock and expiry alerts**: get warned before popular toys go out of stock and before any batch-tracked item approaches its expiry date
* **Payment mode analysis**: charts that break down every day's collections by UPI, cash, and card so you can spot trends and reconcile faster

## Common Business Challenges

**Stockouts on popular items.** A trending action figure or a best-selling board game can sell out in a weekend. Without a system that tracks stock in real time and alerts you when levels drop, you lose sales and disappoint customers.

**Multiple payment modes at the counter.** Customers pay by cash, card, and UPI. Reconciling end-of-day totals across three payment modes manually is error-prone and time-consuming. A system that tracks each mode automatically makes closing faster and more accurate.

**Supplier and pricing management.** You deal with multiple toy suppliers, each with different price lists, payment terms, and lead times. Without a structured purchase flow, you may overpay, miss discounts, or lose track of pending deliveries.

**GST on toy sales.** Different toy categories attract different GST rates. Without proper HSN-code mapping and automated tax calculation, your GST filings become a manual exercise with high risk of error.

**Shrinkage and stock discrepancies.** Toys go missing, get damaged on display, or simply do not match what the system says is on the shelf. Without regular stock reconciliation and a clear audit trail, you cannot identify where the gap is.

## End-to-End Business Lifecycle

A typical toy store business cycle moves through this sequence:

```
Supplier → Purchase Order → Goods Received (Inward Store)
       → Stock Moved to Main Store → POS Billing → Customer Payment
       → Daily Closing → Accounting Entry → GST Filing
```

**Step 1 - Stock runs low:** A store assistant or the system flags that a popular item is running low. The procurement officer raises a Material Request.

**Step 2 - Purchase Order raised:** The procurement officer creates a Purchase Order with the chosen supplier, specifying items, quantities, and agreed rates.

**Step 3 - Goods arrive:** Goods arrive at the store. The stock team receives them into the Inward Store and records a Purchase Receipt in the system. The supplier invoice is matched and a Purchase Invoice is created.

**Step 4 - Stock moved to shelf:** After inspection, stock is moved from the Inward Store to the Main Store using a Stock Entry. It is now available for sale at the counter.

**Step 5 - Customer walks in:** The cashier opens the POS terminal, searches for items, applies any applicable discounts or pricing rules, and collects payment by cash, card, or UPI.

**Step 6 - End of day:** The cashier closes the POS shift. The system compares the expected cash against the actual cash in the till and flags any difference. The Home workspace shows today's totals.

**Step 7 - Accounting and GST:** The accounts team records supplier payments, reconciles customer receipts, and uses the built-in GST reports to prepare monthly returns.
