Turnover is not profit

Where retail margin quietly disappears

Retail is one of the few trades where a busy week can still lose money. Here is where margin leaks, and how Sole shows you the real position.

  • Takings are not the same as margin

  • Stock decisions tie up cash

  • Markets and locations perform differently

  • Reviews and repeat customers matter

  • Know your actual position, not just your takings

    Log sales across every channel and let the bank feed pull card and online income into one running total. Track stock purchases against income so you can see your real gross margin, not just turnover. Sole tracks and manages the GST on every sale automatically, so the BAS figure is always there and never a surprise. Geographic insights show which markets, stalls and locations bring the most activity and value, so you can put your time where it pays. And the budget and business planner helps you model a stock buy or a second stall before you commit.
