A small shop does not have six problems. It has one book, and six kinds of question it asks of that book. Today DailyPlus answers the first kind, and it answers it properly. The rest are being built, in this order, and we will not put any of them on a feature page before they exist.

  1. Staff

    Built

    Is everyone marked? Is everyone paid?

    Attendance, salary, advances, payslips, and your worker’s own screen.

  2. Stock

    Not built yet

    What is running low? What did we lose?

    What is on the shelf, what is going out, and what has to be ordered again.

  3. Vendors

    Not built yet

    What do we owe, and to whom?

    Purchases, bills and what is still to be paid to each supplier.

  4. Customers

    Not built yet

    Who owes us, and how late are they?

    The credit half of the book, and following it up.

  5. Sales

    Not built yet

    What did we take in today?

    The day’s takings, and closing the day.

  6. Expenses

    Not built yet

    Where did the money actually go?

    What the shop spends on running itself, and who spent it.

What is built today

Staff, and only staff: marking the day, working out the salary, advances that come off by themselves, payslips, backup, more than one person helping you, and your worker’s own screen. All of it works with no internet.

Everything DailyPlus does today

Why staff first

Because it is the hardest trust problem in the shop. Stock can be counted again. A bill can be found again. A day somebody worked, three weeks ago, cannot be recovered by anybody — it exists only in one person’s memory and one person’s register, and those two disagree every month.

A register that both sides can read fixes an argument that money alone never settles. If we can be trusted with that, the rest of the book follows. If we cannot, nothing else would have mattered.

What we will never build

  • We will never lend money, and never charge interest.
  • We will never score anybody for credit.
  • We will never show advertisements.
  • We will never sell a shop’s information to anybody.

Those four are the ones we are asked about most, and they are refusals rather than plans. How we build explains why each one is on the list.

Why there are no dates on this page

A date on a roadmap is a promise in writing, and a missed one costs more trust than the feature was worth. So the order is public and the dates are not. The roadmap works the same way.

It is free, it works with no internet, and setting up your shop takes about three minutes.
