Mariet's boutique Lamsa in Mohandessin: controlling every size and colour without losing track
Mariet opened Lamsa Boutique in Mohandessin, importing clothing styles in sizes from S to XXL with different colours for each style. Before Ttakka, she wrote in a notebook: "blue shirt size M - 3 pieces," and updated it by hand every time one sold — and if she forgot to update it, she'd later discover a size was out while it was still on display.
The problem: one style, dozens of combinations
A single style in five sizes and three colours means fifteen different combinations, each needing its own stock balance. Tracking that manually took time and caused a lot of mistakes.
Every size and colour now has its own balance
With Ttakka, Mariet registers the style once, then adds each size/colour combination as a separate "variant" with its own stock. When she sells a "blue shirt size M," the cashier deducts from exactly that variant's balance, not from the style as a whole. She now knows precisely what's out and what's left for every size and colour.
A barcode for every combination
Each size/colour combination has its own barcode, so the cashier tells "blue shirt M" apart from "blue shirt L" with a single scan, without anyone needing to ask the customer or open a box to check.
A size hint for confused customers
Some customers ask "what does this equal in US sizing?" — Ttakka shows an approximate hint for the matching size in other systems, always clearly marked as approximate, as a quick aid for staff without reaching for a paper chart.
The numbers, honestly
Instead of Mariet discovering a size was out while restocking the window display, she now sees every combination and its balance separately and clearly. Instead of staff mixing up colours and sizes, one barcode scan identifies the exact combination.

Does every size and colour count as a separate stock item?
Yes, each size/colour combination (variant) has its own stock balance, so you know exactly which size is out and which is still available.
Do sizes auto-convert between systems, like US and EU?
Ttakka shows an approximate hint for the matching size in other systems to help, always labelled as approximate — never a guaranteed 100% conversion.
