What is Al Shumar ERP?
+
Al Shumar ERP is a web-based business management system for Pakistani retailers, wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers. It connects sales, purchasing, inventory, customer and supplier balances, and accounting in one system, deployed separately for each client.
Is Al Shumar ERP the same as POS software?
+
It includes fast point-of-sale billing with barcode support, but goes further than a standalone POS — purchasing, multi-godown inventory, customer/supplier ledgers, reporting and accounting-enabled plans are all connected to the same sales data.
What is Automatic Demand?
+
Automatic Demand prepares supplier-wise reorder suggestions when stock falls below configured minimum levels, and nets off quantities already marked as ordered. You review the suggested demand and can convert it directly into a purchase.
Does Al Shumar ERP support multiple godowns/warehouses?
+
Yes, on multi-godown enabled plans. Stock is tracked by godown, can be transferred between godowns, and moves with its correct cost, so stock quantity and stock value both stay accurate across locations.
Does Al Shumar ERP include accounting?
+
On accounting-enabled plans, yes — integrated double-entry accounting with a Chart of Accounts, automatic journals from day-to-day transactions, Trial Balance, Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet, with FIFO inventory costing for more reliable profit reporting.
Can I access Al Shumar ERP on my phone?
+
Yes. It's web-based and responsive, and can be installed to a phone's home screen as a Progressive Web App. It is not a native mobile app.
Does Al Shumar ERP support FBR or tax integration?
+
Not currently. Al Shumar ERP does not include FBR real-time invoicing or GST/VAT/sales-tax integration at this time.
How is pricing structured?
+
Al Shumar ERP is offered on Starter, Plus and Pro monthly subscription plans, billed quarterly at minimum, with accounting included from the Pro plan. See the Pricing page for current rates, or request a free demo for a plan recommendation.
Is a demo available?
+
Yes, a free demo is available. After a short conversation about your business, you get access to a full demo environment to explore before deciding.
Is Al Shumar ERP customizable?
+
Yes. Standard onboarding and support are included with the subscription, and further customization for specific workflows can be scoped and quoted separately.
