MODULE 05 · CATALOG & MASTERS

Set your prices once.

Four master lists — garment colours, service categories, services and products, and garment tags — decide what the counter can sell and how each item is described.

Load a full price list in one import; export it for review.

01 / THE FOUR MASTERS

Every one of them drives something the counter sees.

What the counter is allowed to sell.

The POS screen is only as fast as the catalog behind it. These four lists exist so that a cashier taps rather than types — and so that pricing is decided by an owner in an office, not by a cashier under pressure.

01Garment coloursA standardised palette with hex codes and display order. Replaces handwritten “blue-ish” on a paper slip.DRIVES ITEM TAGGING
02Service categoriesMenswear, ladieswear, household, leather care. Becomes the tab row on the POS grid and the axis of your sales reports.DRIVES POS TABS
03Services & productsThe priced master: item name, code, base price, piece count, tax rate, inclusive or exclusive, turnaround.DRIVES THE GRID
04Garment tagsMissing button, stain on lapel, hand wash only. Alert-level badges that print on the receipt and the workshop slip.DRIVES THE PRINT
02 / CAPABILITIES

Same ten actions on all four. Learn one screen and you know the rest.

Price and tax per item

Set the base price, the applicable tax and whether the price shown is inclusive or exclusive of it.

POS visibility control

Decide which items appear on the counter grid, in which order, and with which badges.

Duplicate to extend

Clone “2-piece suit dry clean” to build the 3-piece variant without re-entering nine fields.

Bulk Excel import

Load a two-hundred-line price list from a spreadsheet instead of typing it into a form two hundred times.

Inline re-ordering

Drag the display order of colours and categories so the fastest-moving ones sit first at the counter.

Audit on every change

A price change records who made it, from what to what, and when. Disputes end in seconds.

03 / THE STANDARD TEN

This action set repeats on every master screen in the platform.

One grammar, every master list.

04 / WHY IT MATTERS

Why masters are worth the setup hour.

  • One price everywhereChange a rate once and every branch terminal reflects it. No branch quietly charging last year’s price.
  • No ambiguity on the slipStandard colours and tags replace free-text descriptions, so the plant matches garment to ticket without guessing.
  • Liability documented at intakeA tag applied at drop-off proves the tear was there before cleaning — printed on the customer’s own receipt.
  • Faster counter, higher basketA well-ordered grid cuts search time and makes express and add-on services easy to offer.

Standardised colour and tag masters all but eliminate garment misidentification during sorting.

IN PRACTICE

An operations manager raises the 3-piece suit dry clean rate, adds a “Winter Coat Care” category for the season, and every terminal in four branches shows the new grid on next refresh.

05 / CONNECTED TO

The masters feed everything downstream.
