IBP features

Everything IBP offers, organised by area

A closer look at the capabilities of IBP — from the catalogue to the cash drawer to the reports.

Inventory management

Know what you hold, where it is and how it moved.

  • Product catalogue

    Manage products, categories and units of measure — including cartons and pallets — one by one or by file import.

  • Barcodes and labels

    Register barcodes per unit, print shelf and product labels, and look items up by scanning.

  • Stock by location

    See what is where, down to the shop, warehouse and bin.

  • Stock movement history

    Every receipt, sale, adjustment and transfer is recorded; corrections are added, never edited.

  • Lots, expiry and serial numbers

    Track batches, expiry dates and serial numbers for full traceability.

    Add-on module
  • Cycle counts

    Count stock against the record, review the differences and post approved adjustments.

  • Reorder points

    Get alerted when products fall below their reorder point.

Sales & POS

Sell at the counter or on account, with tax and documents handled.

  • Point-of-sale till

    Sell at the counter by scanning or searching, with prices calculated by the system and receipts for customers.

  • Cash-drawer control

    Open and close cashier shifts with blind cash counts and end-of-shift reports.

  • Payment channels

    Record cash, Telebirr, CBE Birr, card, bank transfer and store credit, including sales paid in more than one way.

  • Price tiers and promotions

    Set shelf prices and quantity-based price breaks, and run promotions.

  • Sales orders

    Take orders on account, reserve stock, then pick, ship and collect — with back-orders tracked.

  • VAT, TOT and withholding tax

    Tax rates are configurable and change from a chosen date; customers can be marked VAT-exempt.

  • Invoices and delivery notes

    Issue PDF invoices and delivery notes that are generated once and can be verified later.

  • Returns and refunds

    Refund against the original sale, with goods going back to the lot they came from.

  • B2B customer portal

    Let trade customers place orders themselves, priced at their own tier.

    Add-on module

Purchasing

From the request to buy to the supplier's bill.

  • Purchase requisitions

    Raise and review requests to buy before committing to an order.

  • Purchase orders with approval

    Orders above set amounts route for approval, and nobody approves their own.

  • Goods receipts

    Receive against orders, including partial deliveries, and capture lots and expiry dates where tracked.

  • Supplier bills with matching

    Match supplier bills against orders and receipts to catch quantity differences.

  • Landed cost

    Spread freight, duty and insurance across received goods so that cost prices reflect reality.

  • Expenses

    Record running costs with receipts, and require approval above set amounts.

Customers & suppliers

Keep the people you trade with on record.

  • Customer records

    Keep customer details, price tier, credit limit and tax-exemption certificate in one place.

  • Supplier records

    Keep supplier details and history together.

  • Supplier performance

    Review how your suppliers perform over time.

Shops & warehouses

Run more than one site from one account.

  • Shops and warehouses

    Run more than one shop or warehouse in one company account, with stock tracked by site.

  • Bin locations

    Organise each site into areas, aisles, racks and bins, with separate sales-floor and backroom bins.

  • Shop-floor replenishment

    See what is empty on the shelf and needs refilling from the stockroom.

  • Transfers between sites

    Move stock between sites with in-transit tracking, so short deliveries stay visible.

    Add-on module

Users & permissions

Control access and keep a record of changes.

  • Users and invitations

    Invite your team and manage who has access.

  • Ready-made roles

    Start from roles such as administrator, procurement manager, cashier and warehouse supervisor.

  • Fine-grained permissions

    Control who can see, create, approve and change each kind of record — including who can see cost prices.

  • Two-factor sign-in

    Protect accounts with codes from an authenticator app.

  • Audit log

    A tamper-evident record of who changed what.

  • Company settings and branding

    Set your legal details, time zone, logo and colours, and the wording of notifications.

Reports & dashboards

See how the business is performing and export the evidence.

  • Dashboards

    Stock, retail trading, order fulfilment, warehouse efficiency, supplier performance and financial views.

  • Inventory reports

    Stock valuation, movement, ageing, slow-moving and dead stock, turnover and variance.

  • Sales and profit reporting

    Sales reports and a profit view net of VAT, refunds, cost of goods and expenses.

  • Exports with provenance

    Export to PDF, spreadsheet or CSV, each stating the company, the period and who exported it.

    Send reports automatically to chosen recipients on a schedule.

    Add-on module

    Low-stock and expiry alerts in the app, with optional email digests.

    English interface, with Amharic and Afaan Oromoo translations in progress.

  • Ethiopian calendar and fiscal year

    Show dates in the Ethiopian calendar, with the Ethiopian fiscal year as the default.
