Item Photos and Price History: Know Every Item at a Glance
Two questions come up in a shop every day: "which one is this?" and "is this the right price?". A photo answers the first in a second. Your own past invoices answer the second — if you let them.
Part 1: a photo for every item
Names are not always enough. Three sizes of the same bottle, five shades of the same paint, a new employee who reads a different language — a picture settles it faster than any label.
In Amunta Business, open an item and take a photo with the camera or pick one from the gallery. The photo then replaces the category icon wherever the item appears in store management:
- the stock list and the item's own page,
- the lines of a stock count, so the counter knows exactly what to look for,
- the item categories screen.
Photos travel with your data
Item photos are part of your backups, so restoring the shop restores the pictures too. If you use staff devices, photos are shared with them as well. On a limited data plan, you can turn off image sync between devices and keep everything else syncing.
Part 2: let your invoices remember prices
Every invoice you record is a price you agreed. Over time, they become your price book — without writing one.
The last price, suggested
When you add an item to an invoice, the app shows the last price you used for it, so regular items take one tap instead of a lookup.
A warning when a price looks unusual
As you type a price, the app compares it with the item's usual price from your past invoices. If it is noticeably higher or lower, it tells you by how much. If it is far off — the kind of gap an extra or missing zero causes — it asks you to check the price before you save.
A price book for each item
In Reports, open the items comparison and tap any item to track it: your usual price, the best price you have paid, the last price and how prices have moved over the past year. Open it while you are standing at the wholesaler, and you know in a second whether the price in front of you is a good one.
Cost, for shops that manage stock
With store management, each item also shows its average cost and last purchase price, and your stock value is calculated for you. Together with the price history, it shows whether your selling prices still leave you a healthy margin.
