Components need to be purchased or imported, production costs need to be recorded, and the materials used in assembly need to be linked to the final product. Once the device is ready, it also needs its own serial number and warranty details.

“MWF-Detectors” uses “Edara” to keep these stages connected, from receiving components and assembling devices to managing inventory and selling through B2B channels and its online store.

Production Starts Before Assembly

Based in Turkey, “MWF-Detectors” manufactures and sells devices for detecting metals, gold, and underground water.

The company builds its devices using different raw materials and parts, including imported components. Tracking therefore starts when these components enter warehouses, not only when the finished device is ready.

This allows the company to follow the materials used in production and connect them to the devices created from them.

Keeping Components and Production Costs Connected

“MWF-Detectors” uses the manufacturing module in “Edara” to create a bill of materials (BOM) for each device. The BOM lists the components needed for production and keeps them linked to the finished product and its cost.

A print option developed for the company also allows the BOM to include details of the raw materials and their costs. This gives the team a clear document that can be reviewed when needed.

Production costs can also be shown or hidden for specific users. This allows each user to access the information required for their work while keeping sensitive cost data limited to authorized team members.

Tracking the Device and Its Warranty

Producing several units of the same model does not make them identical from a tracking point of view. Each device needs its own record, even when its specifications match other units.

“MWF-Detectors” records every device using its individual serial number in “Edara”. It also uses the “Related Serial” feature to link the device to a separate warranty serial number.

This makes it easier to find the records of a specific device and its warranty without relying only on the product name or model.

From Import Costs to “WooCommerce” Sales

MWF Detectors Website 1 1

“MWF-Detectors” tracks the costs related to importing components before they are used in production. This provides a more complete view of device costs that includes both importing and assembly.

After production, the device is added to inventory with its serial and warranty details. It can then be sold through the company’s B2B channels or its online store.

The company’s “WooCommerce” store is connected to “Edara”, bringing online sales into the same workflow as manufacturing, inventory, and other sales channels.

One Connected Journey for Every Device

For “MWF-Detectors”, tracking a device does not begin when production ends. It starts with the components used to build it.

With “Edara”, the company can follow each device from imported parts and production costs to assembly, serial and warranty records, and finally its sale through a B2B channel or the online store.

October 2026 Updates: Greater Efficiency in Managing Items, Warehouses, and Purchase Incentives https://getedara.com/blog/en/october-2026-updates/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/october-2026-updates/#respond Sun, 04 Oct 2026 08:00:54 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15823 October 2026 brings new capabilities to “Edara” that help you handle repetitive tasks across large numbers of items and warehouses more efficiently, from updating sales prices and item images in bulk to standardizing warehouse accounts and automatically calculating purchase incentives.

In this article, we take a closer look at the key updates.

Update Sales Prices in Bulk

When you need to update your sales prices following changes in purchase costs or for other business reasons, updating each price individually can take considerable time, especially when you have a large number of stock items and multiple price lists.

You can now recalculate sales prices whenever needed for a group of stock items across one or more price lists at once, based on the average cost, last cost, or another sales price. You can also set the increase or discount percentage and rounding method for each price list, making it easier to update your prices.

October26-Update Sales Prices in Bulk

Set Default Accounts for Your Warehouses at the Company Level

When you manage a large number of warehouses, setting accounts for each warehouse separately and repeating the same setup can take extra time, especially when most warehouses use the same accounts.

You can now define Company GL interface defaults once and have them applied automatically across your warehouses, while setting exceptions only for warehouses that require different accounts.

You can also see the default accounts and exceptions for each warehouse and make bulk changes, making warehouse account management easier.

October26-Managing the Linking of General Warehouse Accounts 1 (1)

Update Stock Item Images in Bulk

When updating images for a large number of stock items, attaching an image to each item individually can become repetitive. You can now upload and attach images to up to 500 stock items in a single operation.

For grouping items with multiple sizes or colors, you can add the image once to the grouping item, and it will automatically apply to the related items that don’t already have an image, while existing images remain unchanged.

October26-Update Stock Item Images in Bulk

Automatically Calculate Purchase Incentives from Your Purchases

When you have incentive agreements with suppliers that vary by item, quantity, or purchase value, tracking and calculating them can become repetitive, especially when you work with multiple suppliers and incentive rules.

“Purchase Incentives” lets you define the incentive rules agreed with your suppliers, whether as a percentage or a fixed value, and specify which rules apply to each item and supplier. It then calculates incentives from your actual purchases and returns and brings them together in a single yearly document, so you can track your incentives throughout the year without calculating them manually.

October26-Automatically Calculate Purchase Incentives from Your Purchases

That’s all for the October 2026 updates, and there’s more to come.

How “MobiLYX” Tracks Every Phone Across Branches and Sends the Invoice on WhatsApp? https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-mobilyx-tracks-every-phone-across-branches-and-sends-the-invoice-on-whatsapp/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-mobilyx-tracks-every-phone-across-branches-and-sends-the-invoice-on-whatsapp/#respond Mon, 21 Sep 2026 15:44:28 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15803 A customer walks in looking for a specific phone. The model is in stock, but that is only the first answer the sales team needs. Which branch has the device? Which serial number belongs to the unit being sold? And how will the customer receive the invoice afterward?
These are everyday questions for a mobile retailer operating across multiple locations. “MobiLYX” uses “Edara” to follow each phone as an individual unit from its place in stock and any transfer between branches to the final sale and invoice.

Why Phone Inventory Needs Unit-Level Tracking

“MobiLYX” sells mobile phones alongside accessories and electronics such as headphones, smartwatches, power banks, and cables. That mix creates different inventory needs.
Accessories are usually identified by their type, model, and specifications. Phones require another layer of detail. Two devices may share the same model, color, and storage capacity, but each still has its own serial number and its own path through the business.
For “MobiLYX”, an accurate stock record therefore needs to show more than the number of units available. It also needs to identify the exact device and where it is at any point in time.

MobiLYX Products

One Phone, One Serial Number, One Clear History

“MobiLYX” records each phone by serial number in “Edara.” This keeps similar devices from becoming one indistinguishable quantity and gives the team a clear record for every unit.
When a phone is sold, the serial number connects the transaction to the actual device, not just to a general product name. The team can then return to the history of that unit whenever it needs to review its movement or sale.
Serial number tracking is therefore built into the way inventory and sales are managed, rather than treated as an extra detail added at the end.

From Stock Movement to Branch Performance

For MobiLYX, managing multiple branches involves more than knowing where each product is stored. “Edara” brings sales, expenses, and financial results into one view, allowing the team to compare branch performance and review profitability through accounting data and income statements.

This wider view also supports better inventory decisions. By monitoring sales and stock movement, MobiLYX can identify items that are selling slowly in one branch but performing better in another. Instead of leaving those products idle or purchasing more stock, the team can transfer them to the location where demand is stronger.

Stock transfers therefore become more than a way to move products between branches. They help MobiLYX rebalance inventory based on actual sales, available quantities, and the needs of each location.

Closing the Sale with an Invoice the Customer Can Keep

For a mobile phone sale, the invoice is more than a record of the amount paid. It connects the customer’s purchase to the specific device sold. Because the phone is recorded by serial number in “Edara,” “MobiLYX” can return to the details of the unit behind the invoice instead of relying on the model name alone.
Once the sale is complete, “MobiLYX” can send the invoice to the customer through WhatsApp. The customer receives a copy that is easy to keep and access later, while the invoice remains part of the same sales record inside “Edara.”

More Than a Stock Count

“MobiLYX”’s experience shows why multi-branch mobile retail needs unit-level visibility. A phone is not simply one more item in the available quantity. It is an individual device with a serial number, a location, a movement history, and a sale attached to it.
With “Edara,” that path stays connected—from the branch holding the device to any stock transfer, the final sale, and the invoice delivered to the customer on WhatsApp.

From Desktop Software to Cloud ERP: How “El Dabbah Store” Connected Its Branches with Shopify Using “Edara” https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-el-dabbah-store-connected-its-branches-with-shopify-using-edara/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-el-dabbah-store-connected-its-branches-with-shopify-using-edara/#respond Mon, 14 Sep 2026 14:29:27 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15785 The challenge does not appear when each branch completes a sale. It appears when management needs to see what is happening across all branches and the online store in one clear picture.

“El Dabbah Store“ deals with a wide range of technical products, from computers and accessories to surveillance cameras, POS systems, and networking products. In this type of business, model, specification, price, and availability are all part of the sales decision.

With this level of variety, the important questions become clearer: does the team see the same stock data across channels? Can they know where an item is available before losing a sale? And do online orders enter the same workflow used by the branches?

This is where the experience of “El Dabbah Store” with “Edara” began, as the company moved from desktop software to a cloud ERP system that connects branches, warehouses, sales, and Shopify in one operating flow.

When Desktop Software Became Too Limited for the Business

Using desktop software made sense at an earlier stage, when the business was closer to one location and one team.

But as the company expanded across branches and added an online store, the need for a more flexible system became clear. Desktop software remains tied to a specific place or device, while a multi-channel business needs unified data that can be accessed and followed from more than one point.

The challenge was no longer just recording sales. It was about building one clear view of daily activity: what was sold, which branch sold it, what is available now, and which orders came from the website.

Moving to “Edara” helped “El Dabbah Store” shift from software that served a limited operating scope to a cloud ERP system that connects branches, the online store, and inventory in one source of data.

“Edara”: A Cloud ERP System for Connected Branches

With “Edara”, “El Dabbah Store” can follow its branches through one system, instead of treating each branch as a separate unit with its own isolated data.

This connection helps the team track product movement between branches, view stock balances more clearly, and reduce the need for manual follow-up or repeated communication just to know where an item is available.

For a business that sells technical products, this visibility matters even more. A different model or specification can determine whether an order is ready to be fulfilled immediately or needs follow-up from another branch.

eldabbah 3

Shopify Integration

Selling through an online store does not end when the order is placed on the website. The more important step comes next: how does that order enter the sales and inventory workflow used by the team every day?

By connecting Shopify with “Edara”, website orders became part of the company’s workflow inside the system, instead of remaining a separate channel that required separate entry and follow-up.

This helped reduce the gap between what customers order online and what the team follows across the branches. Online orders became connected to item and inventory data and could be handled as part of the daily sales movement.

As a result, the online store was no longer just a separate sales front. It became a connected channel within the same system that manages branches and inventory.

A Clearer View of Sales Across Branches and the Online Store

When branches and Shopify are connected in one system, sales are no longer scattered across different places.

Management can follow movement across branches and the website more clearly, understand sales trends, check product availability, and track orders from one source.

As the sales cycle is completed inside “Edara”, the team can also review order cost, expected profit, and the accounting impact of operations without turning the financial side into a separate track away from daily operations.

This makes daily data more useful for management. It does not only show what happened; it helps explain it within its operational and financial context.

From Location-Based Operations to a Connected Business

The experience of “El Dabbah Store” shows that moving from desktop software to a cloud ERP system is not only about changing tools. It is about changing the way the business is seen and managed.

With “Edara”, branches, Shopify, warehouses, and sales became connected parts of one workflow, instead of separate channels working with separate data.

For a business built around technical products, multiple models, and different sales channels, the value of the system lies in bringing all moving details into one clear picture, from item availability at the branch, to the website order, to tracking the sale and its results.

September 2026 Updates: Better Management of Sales, Customers, and Data https://getedara.com/blog/en/september-2026-updates/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/september-2026-updates/#respond Thu, 10 Sep 2026 14:41:28 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15769 September 2026 brings new Extensions to Edara that help you strengthen customer relationships and better organize your sales team’s work, along with improvements that give you more flexibility when importing data and tracking payments.

In this article, we take a closer look at the key updates.

Loyalty: Encourage Customers to Buy Again

Retaining customers and encouraging repeat purchases is just as important as acquiring new ones. Rewards can give customers an extra reason to come back.

With the “Loyalty”, you can reward customers with points for their purchases, which they can later redeem as discounts on future orders. You can set earning and redemption rules, track customer point balances, and monitor loyalty activity, helping you strengthen customer loyalty and encourage repeat purchases.

september26 Encourage Customers to Buy Again

CRM: Customer Relationship Management

Your sales team needs a clear view of customers and deals without having to manage data and follow-ups across multiple systems.

“Edara CRM” lets you manage customers, deals, and sales activities, while using actual sales data to analyze customer behavior and identify follow-up opportunities. This helps your sales team stay organized and make data-driven decisions.

september26 Edara CRM An Extension Integrated with Edara

Faster Setup and Easier Item Data Organization

The “Data Import” extension provides new capabilities that make it easier to prepare, update, and link item data. Here are the latest updates:

Import Items More Flexibly

The data you need to import may include items from different categories, requiring more flexibility within a single import operation.

You can now import items from multiple categories at once through “Data Import”, helping you prepare item data faster and reduce the number of import operations required.

September26 Import Items More

Update Grouping Items

When adding new variants, such as colors or sizes, to an existing grouping item, manually creating each child item can take considerable time, especially when working with multiple variants.

Edara now lets you update existing grouping items through “Data Import” by adding multiple new child items at once without affecting existing data, making it easier and faster to expand products with multiple variants.

September26 Update Grouping Items

Link Items to a Grouping Item

You may need to group existing items under a single grouping item to better organize and manage their data.

Edara now lets you link existing items to a grouping item by importing the linking data in bulk.

September26 Link Items to a Grouping Item

Display Actual Payment Details on the Payment Page

When paying a large number of sales orders from the Payment page, payments may be distributed across different cash accounts and bank accounts, making it time-consuming to identify where each amount was collected.

You can now view actual payment details directly from the Payment page and see the cash treasuries and bank accounts used to collect each amount, without reviewing sales orders one by one.

September26 Display Actual Payment Details on the Payment Page

Display Customer Balances by Payment Method

When reviewing customer balances, you will usually need to focus on customers who buy on credit separately from those who pay in cash.

The Customer Balances report now displays credit customers by default, while still allowing you to select cash customers when needed, helping you focus directly on the balances that require follow-up.

september26 Display Customer Balances by Payment Method

That’s all for the September 2026 updates, and there’s more to come.

How “Silk Route” Connected Manufacturing with Online Orders Using “Edara”? https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-silk-route-connected-manufacturing-with-online-orders-using-edara/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-silk-route-connected-manufacturing-with-online-orders-using-edara/#respond Wed, 02 Sep 2026 13:15:41 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15754 In manufacturing-based businesses, a product does not begin on the shelf. It starts with raw materials, specific formulas, quantities that must be prepared accurately, and costs that management needs to track.

When the product later moves to the online store, the workflow becomes bigger than production and sales. The manufacturing team needs to know which materials are required. Management needs to track costs. Inventory changes with every movement. And online orders need to become part of the sales process instead of staying separate from the rest of the data.

This creates an important challenge: how can each team access only the information it needs, while manufacturing, sales, inventory, and accounting remain connected in one flow?

This is where the experience of “Silk Route” with “Edara” begins. “Silk Route” offers natural skincare ingredients and products, and manufactures a range of oils, shea butter, and cocoa butter products in different sizes. This requires accurate tracking of raw materials, finished products, manufacturing operations, and sales.

“Silk Route”: Natural Products That Start with Raw Materials

“Silk Route” offers natural oils and butters used in skincare and cosmetic products, with a focus on natural ingredients, processing, and packaging.

With this type of product, it is not enough to know how many units need to be produced. Each product starts with a group of raw materials used in specific quantities through a bill of materials.

That made it important to have a workflow that connects raw materials with finished products, and tracks what goes into manufacturing and what later moves to inventory and sales.

As products and sizes became more varied, accurate data became essential. Each stage needed to stay connected, whether the team was preparing production or following orders coming from the online store.

Manufacturing Starts with the Bill of Materials

The bill of materials is the starting point of the manufacturing process. It shows the raw materials required and the quantities needed to produce each item.

But this list is not only useful for the manufacturing team. Management and accounting also need the cost data related to these materials so they can track product cost and understand business results more clearly.

Here, the challenge is not about recording the data. It is about how that data is used. The same information may be essential for one team and unnecessary for another.

The manufacturing team needs to know which materials to prepare and in what quantities. Cost data, however, remains important for management and accounting, and should not be shared with every user involved in production.

سيلك روت 2 1

Sharing Manufacturing Data Without Exposing Costs

To handle this challenge, “Silk Route” benefited from exporting the bill of materials from “Edara” to an Excel file.

This allowed management to extract the materials and quantities recorded for each product, then prepare a suitable version for the manufacturing team after removing the cost data they did not need.

Instead of rewriting the material list manually or sharing a screen that includes financial details, the team could rely on the data already recorded in “Edara” and share a clear version focused only on production requirements.

As a result, the manufacturing team received the information needed for execution, while cost data remained saved in “Edara” and available only to the responsible users.

Clearer Control Over Data Changes

Once data is organized by team needs, another important requirement appears: understanding what happens to the data when it is edited or deleted.

In a workflow that includes raw materials, finished products, production orders, and sales orders, deleting a single record can affect how the team reviews an item movement, checks a document, or tracks an operation inside the system.

That is why it is not enough for management to know that something was deleted. They also need to know what the deleted data contained before the deletion happened.

By viewing the details of deleted data inside “Edara”, the responsible users at “Silk Route” gained clearer visibility into the information that existed before it was removed.

This made data review more complete. It was no longer limited to knowing who performed the action or when it happened. It also helped the team understand what changed, support better control, and review errors more easily when needed.

سيلك روت 1 1

Shopify Integration: Moving the Product to the Online Store

After manufacturing, the next stage begins: selling the products through the online store.

By connecting Shopify with “Edara”, online orders became part of the sales process that the team follows inside the system, instead of remaining separate from product and inventory data.

This connection helped reduce the gap between what customers order on the website and what the team tracks in “Edara”, while giving the team clearer visibility into orders and related product movement.

As a result, the workflow no longer stopped at preparing the product and its raw materials. It extended to tracking the order and the sale through one system that brings operational data together.

From Manufacturing to Accounting in One Flow

Every stage in this workflow affects the data used by management and accounting, from the cost of raw materials used in production, to inventory movement, to sales transactions.

With manufacturing, inventory, sales, and accounting connected in “Edara”, “Silk Route” was able to follow these operations from one source instead of dealing with disconnected data.

While the manufacturing team gets the material and quantity details needed for execution, cost data remains available to management and accounting. Online orders also appear within the data used for reports.

This connection allowed each team to work with the information it needs, while keeping the full picture available to management when reviewing product costs and business results.

A Case That Shows the Value of Connected Data

The experience of “Silk Route” shows that manufacturing management is not only about recording raw materials or creating production orders. It also depends on how data is shared, how changes are monitored, and how the product remains connected to its journey after production.

With “Edara”, the bill of materials can be prepared and shared with the manufacturing team without exposing cost data. Deleted data can be reviewed in more detail. And online orders can be connected with sales, inventory, and accounting.

This helped “Silk Route” combine clear production requirements, stronger data control, and a connected flow between manufacturing and online orders, without each team working in isolation from the others.

From Quotation to E-Invoice: How “MyMap” Uses “Edara” to Manage Hotel Supply Orders https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-mymap-uses-edara-to-manage-hotel-supply-orders/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-mymap-uses-edara-to-manage-hotel-supply-orders/#respond Sun, 23 Aug 2026 20:59:47 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15743 A new request comes in from a hotel for computers and accessories. Before the order reaches the invoicing stage, the team must confirm the required items and quantities, prepare a quotation, review the agreed terms, obtain the necessary approvals, and issue the final documents.

Each step may seem simple on its own. But as the number of customers and requests grows, following quotations, approvals, and sales documents separately can make the process harder to control. The team needs to know which requests are still being reviewed, which have been approved, and which are ready to move forward.

This is where the experience of “MyMap” with “Edara” begins. As a company providing IT solutions and supplies to hotels and other organizations, “MyMap” needed a connected process that brings quotations, sales orders, approvals, document templates, and e-invoicing into one system.

“MyMap”: When Technical Supplies Require More Than a Sale

“MyMap” provides IT solutions, systems integration, professional services, and general supplies to different sectors, including hotels and hospitality businesses.

Through its operations in Sharm El Sheikh, the company supplies computers and accessories to hotels and other organizations. Each request may include different products, quantities, prices, and commercial terms.

For this type of business, the process does not begin with an invoice. It often starts with a quotation, followed by internal review and approval before the order can be completed. The team also needs to prepare documents that match the requirements of each customer.

The Quotation Starts the Supply Process

Before confirming an order, the customer needs clear information about the products, quantities, prices, and supply details.

“MyMap” uses quotations in “Edara” to record these details as part of the sales process, instead of preparing and following each quotation separately.

The team can keep the agreed items, quantities, and prices in one place and return to the quotation when the customer is ready to proceed. This reduces the need to enter the same information again in different documents.

As a result, the quotation becomes the first step in a connected supply process, rather than a separate file that is difficult to follow after customer approval.

MyMap 1 1

Reviews and Approvals Before Execution

Some supply orders require internal review before they can be completed, especially when they involve large quantities or specific prices and terms.

With “Edara”, “MyMap” can organize sales orders, confirmations, and approvals so that each request moves through the required stages before execution.

The team can see which sales orders are still waiting for review and which have already been approved and are ready for the next step.

Instead of relying on verbal updates or separate messages to confirm whether an order has been approved, the approval becomes a recorded part of the workflow.

Documents That Match Each Customer’s Requirements

Hotels and organizations do not always require the same document format. One customer may need specific information to appear in the quotation or sales order, while another may request a different layout or additional details.

“MyMap” uses customizable print templates in “Edara” to prepare documents that better match the requirements of different hotels and organizations.

The team can print quotations and sales orders using the appropriate template, without manually editing the documents after exporting them from the system.

This helps “MyMap” provide customers with clearer and more organized documents while keeping them connected to the original order inside “Edara”.

E-Invoicing as Part of the Sales Process

Once the order has been reviewed, approved, and completed, the company moves to the e-invoicing stage.

“MyMap” uses the integration between “Edara” and the Egyptian e-invoicing system to complete the tax side of its sales and supply operations through the same system used to manage customer orders.

This makes e-invoicing part of a wider process that begins with the quotation and continues through the sales order, approvals, and required documents.

A Clearer Process from Customer Request to Completed Supply

The experience of “MyMap” shows that managing supply orders requires more than keeping track of products and prices. The team also needs a clear process that follows each request from preparation to completion.

With “Edara”, quotations, sales orders, confirmations, approvals, print templates, and e-invoicing work together as parts of one connected workflow.

This gives the team a clearer view of every request, helps them prepare the right documents for each customer, and supports hotel and corporate supply operations without treating every stage as a separate process.

August 2026 Updates: New Tools for Data Management and Report Sharing https://getedara.com/blog/en/august-2026-updates-new-tools-for-data-management-and-report-sharing/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/august-2026-updates-new-tools-for-data-management-and-report-sharing/#respond Fri, 14 Aug 2026 19:23:36 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15721 Edara’s August 2026 updates introduce new Extensions, including “External Share” and “Data Manager”, along with enhancements that give you greater flexibility when managing data, processing payments, and working with Shopify.

Here is a closer look at the key updates.

External Share: Greater Flexibility in Sharing Your Data

The “External Share” extension gives you the ability to share specific data with people outside Edara without creating user accounts for them or giving them access to information that does not concern them.

  • Sharing Reports with People Outside Edara

For stores that carry products from multiple brands, or businesses that operate on a consignment model, you may need to share each brand’s or supplier’s data with the relevant party without giving them an Edara account or access to data that does not concern them.

With “External Share”, you can share selected reports with people outside Edara while controlling what each recipient can view and how they access it, making it easier to share relevant information with each party while keeping the rest of your business data private.

August26 Share Reports with People Outside Edara 1

  • Sharing Product Catalogues

For wholesale and distribution businesses, you may need to share selected products with customers or retailers, along with details such as product names, codes, images, prices, and stock levels.

With “External Share”, you can create and share a product catalogue through a public link without requiring recipients to log in. You can control which products and information are displayed, making it easier to provide customers and retailers with an up-to-date product catalogue.

August26 Share Reports with People Outside Edara 2

Data Manager: More Ways to Import and Organize Data

The Data Manager extension gives you more flexibility when importing data, with tighter control over user permissions and broader support for item data.

Below are the latest updates now available in “Data Manager”:

  • Controlling User Permissions in “Data Manager”

With multiple users, you may need to grant each user the permissions corresponding to their responsibilities.

You can now manage permissions in “Data Manager” and decide which features are available to each user, helping you organize import operations and keep access under control.

August26 Control User Permissions in Import Manager

  • Importing Grouping Items Properties

Before creating grouping items, you may need to add a large number of properties—such as colors and sizes—which can take time to enter manually.

Data Manager now lets you import these variants and their values in bulk. You can add new properties or complete the values of existing ones in bulk, making it faster to prepare grouping items data.

August26 Importing Dynamic Properties through Import Manager

  • Creating Grouping Items

When creating a large number of items with variants, such as different sizes or colors, manually creating each grouping item and its child items can be time-consuming.

Edara allows you to create grouping items using the “Data Manager”, enabling you to create the parent item, child items, and their associated values in a single operation, making it easier to create grouping items and all their related child items.

Using Multiple Payment Accounts at the POS

A customer may pay for the same order using more than one method—for example, partially in cash, partially by bank card, and partly through an e-wallet or another bank account.

You can distribute the order amount across multiple payment accounts within the same POS transaction, with each amount recorded against the correct account. You can also pin your most frequently used payment account as the default, so it is automatically selected for future transactions.

Including Sales Returns in Sales Order Payment Status

When a sales return is linked to a sales order, its value may cover part or all of the unpaid amount, but the payment status may not automatically reflect that return.

Edara can now include the value of a linked sales return when calculating the sales order’s payment status. Based on your workflow, this can happen as soon as the return is created or after the returned items are received into stock.

Displaying Unpaid and Returned Amounts on the Payment Page

For businesses that rely on shipping companies, reviewing the unpaid amount and the amount of linked returns before updating payment status is essential—especially when handling a high volume of daily orders and returns.

The Payment page now displays the unpaid amount and return amount for each sales order, making it easier to verify the amounts before updating its payment status.

That’s why “Management” lets you view the outstanding amount and the value of returns for each sales order on the payment page, helping you review the amounts and verify their accuracy before updating the payment status.

Managing Synchronization Errors When Integrating with “Shopify”

When multiple errors occur while synchronizing orders, customers, or products with Shopify, tracking error messages and handling each one separately can become difficult, especially as the number of synchronization operations increases.
Edara now lets you view synchronization errors listed by order, customer, or product, review all errors associated with each record, then retry the synchronization for all related errors at once or mark errors that require no action as Resolved, making synchronization management more organized and efficient.

That covers the August 2026 updates—and there is more to come.

How “Mofkera” Manages a Large Product Range Across Branches with “Edara” https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-mofkera-manages-a-large-product-range-across-branches-with-edara/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-mofkera-manages-a-large-product-range-across-branches-with-edara/#respond Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:01:24 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15702 Two products may have almost the same name, but one image can show a different color, pattern, or design. For a retailer selling gifts, stationery, and school supplies, these visual details can be the difference between finding the right item and choosing the wrong one.

An item name and code are not always enough. During a sale or stock review, employees need to see the product, check its balance, and know where it is so they can act quickly and accurately.

This matters even more when products are sold through an online store and several branches. Clear visibility into stock levels and item movement becomes part of daily operations.

This is where “Edara” supports “Mofkera“. As a brand offering gifts and stationery, “Mofkera” needed one system to connect sales, warehouses, branches, and accounting while handling a large and varied product range.

“Mofkera”: Modern Gifts and Stationery

“Mofkera” offers a wide range of gifts, stationery, school supplies, bags, and coloring products through its online store and several branches in Cairo and Alexandria.

To manage this variety, “Mofkera” uses “Edara” for sales, accounting, stock visibility, and product movement between branches. Barcodes also make sales, stock counts, and stock reviews easier.

Identifying the Right Product at a Glance 

For products where design matters, an image is more than a visual detail. It helps employees identify the correct item inside the system.

“Mofkera” can display item images directly in the warehouse stock report in “Edara”. This makes it easier to review products and tell similar items apart without relying only on names or codes.

The report can also be printed or exported as a PDF with product images, making it easier to review and share with the team.

Together with barcodes, these images help the team find the right item faster, especially when products have similar names but different colors or designs.

Knowing What Is Available at Each Branch 

Once products are clearly identified, the next question is where each item is available and how much stock is on hand. An item may exist in total inventory but still be unavailable at the branch serving the customer, while another branch may have it.

With “Edara”, “Mofkera” can track stock balances across branches and warehouses, record transfers between branches, and review transfer costs when needed.

This gives the team a clear view of the stock available at each branch and helps them move items when needed instead of tracking every branch separately.

Connecting Daily Operations with Financial Results

An item’s movement does not end when it is sold or transferred between branches. Each transaction should appear in the right place, from stock balances to accounting records.

Because sales, warehouses, and accounting are connected in “Edara”, sales feed the reports and financial statements, while transfers between branches are recorded as inventory movements. This helps keep stock balances accurate at every location.

This gives “Mofkera” one place to follow sales, stock balances, and accounting, connect daily branch activity with financial results, and understand business performance more clearly.

From Product Setup to Sale: One Connected Process

The experience of “Mofkera” shows that managing a large product range involves more than creating item records. Teams also need to identify the right product, know where it is available, and track its movement across branches.

With “Edara”, product images, barcodes, stock balances, and transfers work together in one connected process, giving the team a clearer view from product setup to sale and the related accounting impact.

How “Compu Station” Connected Branch, Online, and Wholesale Sales with “Edara”? https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-compu-station-connected-branch-online-and-wholesale-sales-with-edara/ https://getedara.com/blog/en/how-compu-station-connected-branch-online-and-wholesale-sales-with-edara/#respond Sun, 02 Aug 2026 08:04:37 +0000 https://getedara.com/blog/?p=15690 When a customer asks about a computer or mobile accessory, the sales team does not only need to know the stock balance.

Part of the available quantity may already be reserved for website orders or wholesale requests. At the same time, the salesperson may need to know the last price this customer received before answering or negotiating.

At this moment, the value is not only in having the data inside the system. The real value is having the right data clearly available during the sale.

This is where the experience of “Compu Station” with “Edara” becomes important. The business sells computer and mobile accessories, headphones, and some networking devices, and needed a system that connects branches, the website, inventory, pricing, and accounting in one workflow.

“Compu Station”: From Branches to the Online Store

“Compu Station” works in computer and mobile accessories, along with headphones and some networking devices, with a wide variety of items and sales methods.

The business has been using “Edara” since 2018, across a long operating journey that started with branch sales, then grew to include wholesale, the online store, and social media orders.

With three branches and an online store built on “WooCommerce”, “Compu Station” needed these sales channels to work together, instead of keeping branch sales, website orders, and inventory movement separate.

By connecting “WooCommerce” with “Edara”, website orders became part of daily operations. This made inventory and order tracking more connected, especially with many item types and different sales channels.

The goal was not only to record sales. The team needed clear access to available stock and previous customer prices, while keeping this data connected to inventory and accounting.

Available Stock: Knowing What Can Actually Be Promised

When branches and the online store are connected in the same workflow, the physical stock balance is not always enough for a sales decision.

Some items may be reserved for a website order, a wholesale request, or another sales process that has not been completed yet. So the key question becomes: how much is actually available to sell now?

With “Edara”, “Compu Station” was able to view the available stock while creating a sales order, after excluding reserved quantities from the physical stock balance.

This helped the sales team respond to customers faster, especially in wholesale sales, where the salesperson needs to confirm available quantities before making a promise.

Instead of seeing only a general stock number, the salesperson could see the quantity that could actually be sold, making sales decisions clearer at the exact moment the information was needed.

Last Customer Prices: Better Negotiation with Clear Data

In wholesale sales, the price is not always based only on the current listed price.

A customer may refer to a previous deal, ask for the same discount, or compare the current offer with the last price they received. In these cases, the sales team needs quick and accurate information without going back to old documents or searching manually through previous transactions.

With “Edara”, “Compu Station” was able to view the last selling prices of the same item for the same customer while creating the sales order, including previous discounts.

This helped the sales team negotiate with wholesale customers based on clear data, instead of relying on memory or starting the price discussion from scratch.

As a result, the sale became not only about the item and its stock balance, but also about understanding the customer’s pricing history, which supported pricing decisions and made the conversation clearer.

Connecting Sales, Imports, and Accounting

With different item types and sales methods, the workflow does not stop at the sales order.

Some products are connected to imports and import costs, which makes item cost tracking important for understanding profitability more accurately. Branch sales, website orders, and wholesale requests also need to appear clearly in accounting.

With “Edara”, “Compu Station” was able to connect sales, inventory, imports, and accounting, which helped the team follow key financial reports such as the income statement and balance sheet.

This way, sales were no longer separated from cost, inventory, and accounting. They became part of a clearer workflow that starts with item availability and pricing, and extends to financial reporting.

Conclusion: From Customer Request to Financial Reports

The experience of “Compu Station” shows that managing a computer and mobile accessories business is not only about having branches or an online store. It is also about giving the sales team the right information at the right time.

Available stock, last customer prices, website integration, import tracking, and accounting all helped make the sales process clearer and more organized.

With “Edara”, these details became part of one workflow, starting from the customer’s question about an item and extending to inventory, pricing, imports, and accounting.
