Retail, under control

Run your entire retail operation from one place.

Vula means open — open the counter, open the books, open the whole business. Point of sale, stock, purchasing, customer accounts, online orders and Head Office reporting in one connected system, built for South African retailers.

The Vula register: a clothing shop's product grid on the left, the current sale with six lines totalling R3 092,00 on the right, and cash, card, account and lay-by tender buttons. — Fast at the counter. Powerful behind it.

Built for South Africa · VAT-inclusive, rand, POPIA-minded

Single or multi-store · one shop or a group

Shopify & WooCommerce · connected to your online store

Keeps working offline · the counter stays open

The product

Three things, done properly.

Sell fast at the counter.

Scan, search, choose a size, take payment — cash, card, account or lay-by, in one workflow.
Professional thermal receipts with the VAT breakdown, on the printer you already own.
Keeps working offline — supported sales continue locally and sync safely when the connection returns.

The Vula register in scan view: a scanned item's name, price, stock on hand and shelf location, inspected one item at a time.

Vula's product and stock table: each item with its SKU, barcode, shelf location, category, VAT-inclusive price, cost price, VAT rate, stock level and number of sizes.

Know your stock, shelf to sale.

One stock story: every sale, return, adjustment and transfer in a single history — nothing estimated.
Purchasing, goods received, supplier returns and a replenishment list built from what is actually low.
Customer accounts, lay-bys and cash-up — in the same system as the till, so nobody retypes anything into anything.

See the business, not just the transactions.

Revenue, gross profit, margin, payment mix and product performance — over any period.
Tax invoices, credit notes, quotations and labels that print on the hardware you already own.
An audit trail: what changed, when, and who did it.

Vula's reports screen: revenue, profit and margin for the last 30 days, a daily revenue chart, sales by category, a top-10 products chart and a payment-method breakdown.

The sale happens once. The rest of the business should know about it automatically.

Sale → Stock → Cash → Margin → Reports → Head Office

One transaction, followed all the way through — no re-entry, and no reconciling two versions of the same day.

One business. However many branches.

Run every store without losing sight of the whole company.

Vula Head Office gives owners and managers one place to see performance across the group — the same live data the tills are working from, not a report emailed on Mondays.

Every store

Turnover, gross profit and margin in one view, ranked across the group.

Every till

See which tills are active, who is operating them and what should be in each drawer.

One catalogue

Manage products and pricing centrally and push them to every branch at once.

Stock across the group

Transfer stock between branches with printed waybills, and look up where an item is available from the counter.

Vula's Head Office dashboard: group turnover of R798 291,00 at a 42.2% margin, a branch ranking table for three stores, and a live till board showing each till's cashier, state and drawer cash. — Three stores or fifty — the business still feels like one business. (click to enlarge)

Also built in.

Sell online

Shopify and WooCommerce connected to the same shelf — online orders imported, fulfilled and written back.

Built around your trade

Fashion, spares, hardware, general retail, pharmacy, restaurant — each starts from its own categories and vocabulary.

Offline-first

The counter works from the catalogue on the device. Queued sales keep their identity, so a retried sync is never a duplicate.

Your data is yours

It lives in the shop's own database on its own deployment. Full backup whenever you like. This website collects nothing.

Your first month is free

A free month to test it and set it up properly.

We give you one free month to run your shop on Vula — tills configured, stock loaded, staff trained — before the first invoice. After that, what a shop pays depends on how many tills it runs, how many branches it has, and whether it sells online. Tell us what you operate and we'll send a price the same day.

Your shop's data is yours

Sales, customers, prices and costs live in the shop's own database on the shop's own deployment. We do not mine it, sell it or hand it to anyone else — and you can take a full backup whenever you like.

One system of record

The till, the stock ledger, the customer accounts and the reports are the same data — not four exports that have to be reconciled. What the counter did is what the office sees.

This website collects nothing

No cookies, no analytics, no third-party trackers, no fonts fetched from anyone else. If you email us, we use your address to reply and nothing more — and you may ask us to delete it at any time, as POPIA provides.

See what Vula would look like in your business.

Tell us what you sell, how many tills you run and whether you have more than one branch. We'll show you Vula around the way your operation works.
