How to run your phones & accessories business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
A phone shop needs to know exactly which phone went to which customer. When a customer comes back with a complaint, the IMEI on the receipt settles it.
TheCEOApp keeps each phone's IMEI or serial number with its sale, alongside accessories and repairs.
IMEI and serial numbers
Record each phone's IMEI or serial number when you add it to stock. The number stays with the sale, so you know which unit each customer bought.
Accessories and repairs
Sell chargers, earbuds and screen guards by the piece or pack, and record repairs like a screen replacement as services on the same receipt.
Branches and field agents
Send stock to a branch or a field agent and see what they sold and paid back.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example iPhone 13 (128GB), tecno spark 20 and phone charger, and services like screen replacement, phone repair and software update. Suggestions for a phones & accessories come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by piece, unit, box, pack and set. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry barcodes (scan to sell). You can record each product's imei / serial number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.
