Made from a real shop

It started with an empty space

A friend of mine started a secondhand clothing shop. In the beginning I helped her set it up. There was nothing: no floor, no heating, just an empty space. And the space was small, so every choice counted: where does the counter go, how many racks fit, how do you keep it tidy.

Step by step we learned what works and what doesn't. So we know from experience which problems you run into when you set up and run a secondhand shop.

Everything by hand

I saw what happened when it was busy and people were lined up at the register. With pen and paper, things keep going wrong. A mistake on the receipt. A consignor's share that never gets written down. And meanwhile consignors come in to ask how their things are doing. In all that chaos it's hard to give them the right answer.

At the end of the day, or the end of a period, all the paper receipts still had to go into Excel by hand. Then working out the VAT and the margins, and what each consignor gets. It was so much work that a program would be a huge help.

That's why EasyConsign

We've built web applications for 15 years. So we made the program the shop was missing ourselves: a register that prints the receipt automatically, so nobody writes receipts by hand anymore. EasyConsign keeps track of what's sold, works out each consignor's share and gets the figures for VAT ready.
