Mr. Karim's supermarket in Faisal: cutting the checkout line and never running dry

Mr. Karim runs Al-Baraka Supermarket in the Faisal area, a store stocked with hundreds of items from canned goods to detergents to drinks. During rush hours, the line used to grow because any cashier who didn't remember a price had to look it up manually, slowing everyone down.

The speed problem in a store with hundreds of items

In a shop like this, speed isn't a luxury — it's what separates a customer who comes back from one who walks to a faster store. The second problem was sell units: some customers wanted a full box of water, others just one bottle, and recording both correctly in stock without confusion was hard.

Barcode changed checkout speed

With Ttakka, every item in the store now has a barcode linked to it in the system. The cashier scans the product and the name and price appear instantly, no searching or asking. This visibly cut the time per sale, and the line started moving faster.

Sell units: box and piece from the same stock

Ttakka lets Mr. Karim define more than one sell unit for the same item — a "box" at one price and a "piece" at another — both drawn from the same stock balance. The customer who wants a single bottle and the one who wants the whole box both get recorded correctly, with no manual math needed.

A warning before an item runs out

Instead of Mr. Karim discovering an item is out of stock while standing in front of an empty shelf with a customer waiting, Ttakka flags items as "low stock" right on the cashier screen and dashboard, so he can reorder from his supplier before an actual shortage hits.

Inventory counts got easier

The store dashboard has a dedicated inventory count screen where Mr. Karim can reconcile actual quantities in the store against what the system has on record, correcting any mismatch easily instead of relying on a notebook or memory.

The numbers, honestly

Instead of every cashier looking up prices manually, it's now a single barcode scan. Instead of discovering a shortage when the shelf goes empty, he sees the warning with enough time to reorder from the supplier.
