TradePort (Formerly RetailFlow)

Built for wholesalers, multi-branch stores, factories & hospitality.

When you are distributing cartons in bulk, managing staff across multiple branches, or manufacturing goods with raw materials, memory and paper ledgers leak revenue. You cannot see what stock was diverted, what raw materials were wasted in production, which debtor exceeded their limit, or what your true net profit is. TradePort provides an all-in-one, 100% offline-ready enterprise operating system.

Carton, pack and piece billing. Sell in bulk tiers (cartons, packs, dozens) or single units from the same inventory balance with 80mm receipts. Assign buyers to wholesale or VIP distributor tiers, connect a second monitor customer display, and issue formal A4 commercial invoices.

Production and recipes. Designed for bakeries, beverage plants, restaurants, and hotels. Define recipes with ingredient lists, track batch yields against raw-material wastage, compute finished-goods cost averaged from ingredient cost, and auto-deduct recipe ingredients upon checkout.

Two-phase branch transfers and stock counts. Centralized stock control with permanent records. Dispatch goods with two-phase in-transit valuation on your balance sheet and print count sheets so warehouse staff count actual physical items.

Profit and loss reports and balance sheet. Every sale snapshots purchase cost of goods. Deduct operating expenses (diesel, salaries, rent, haulage) and missing inventory shrinkage to view your true net profit and complete corporate balance sheet.

Permanent stock and money records. Every unit sold, transferred, consumed in production, or adjusted leaves a permanent record. Cashiers cannot see cost prices or delete sales.

One system, every business function

Whatever name you call it, TradePort runs it in one place.

Business owners, accountants, and depot managers often look for five separate software packages. TradePort unifies all of them into a single installation so you never have to reconcile disconnected spreadsheets again.

1. Wholesale and bulk distribution system

Sell in up to three bulk units (Carton, Pack, Dozen) alongside single base units with automated base-unit deduction. Assign buyers to standard, wholesale, or VIP distributor tiers, and issue formal A4 commercial invoices, proforma quotations, and waybills.

2. Checkout and customer display

In Nigeria, “POS” often means the handheld card machine from a bank or an agent. TradePort is different: it is checkout and billing software that runs on your computer. It scans barcodes, prints 80mm receipts, and balances the cash drawer. Connect a second monitor customer display, display your bank transfer account details in bold font, and accept split payments.

3. Production, Recipe & Raw Material Tracker

Built for bakeries, beverage plants, restaurants, and hotels. Track raw material inventory separately from finished goods, build recipes with ingredient lists, monitor batch yields against wastage, and auto-deduct recipe ingredients upon checkout.

4. Warehouse, multi-branch and stock register

Your stock figure is calculated from a permanent record of every movement, never typed over, with missing stock tracking. Dispatch goods with two-phase in-transit valuation on the balance sheet and run structured stock counts with count sheets.

5. Bookkeeping, profit and loss reports and balance sheet

Generates real-time profit and loss reports with snapshotted cost of goods sold, operating expense categories, and shrinkage loss impact to report true net profit. Displays an as-of-date corporate balance sheet plus customer segments by how recently and how often they buy.

Engineered for Nigerian commerce

Built to protect your stock, recipes, and cash across every location.

01

100% Offline trading at every counter

Each terminal runs an encrypted database on your computer locally with a POS write-lock. Cashiers ring up sales, open and close shifts with blind cash counts, and print receipts with zero internet.

02

Production and recipes

Formulate recipes for bakery batches, food production, or restaurant meals. Expected against actual yield variances expose raw-material wastage or ingredient theft.

03

Two-phase branch transfers

Central depot dispatches stock to branches without goods vanishing from the books. Trucks on the road sit in In-Transit Valuation until the receiving branch confirms delivery.

04

Customer Second Screen

Connect a second monitor facing the customer. When paying by bank transfer, the screen displays your bank name, account number, and amount in bold text.

05

Blind stocktakes

Print count sheets with hidden stock quantities to force honest physical counts. Shortages book directly into theft, damage, record error, or natural loss registers.

06

Remote Owner Portal from any phone or PC

Monitor revenue, branch stock levels, debtor balances, and cashier shift reconciliation from any browser, with direct support from Nigerian software engineers.

Getting started with TradePort

Four steps from installation to multi-branch control.

  1. Create your owner portal

    Register your business online to open your central Owner Portal and set up your stores and branches.

  2. Activate your branch computers

    Install TradePort on your Windows counter machines and pair each terminal using a one-time 12-character branch activation code.

  3. Import your catalog & carton prices

    Upload your products, cost prices, selling prices, and up to 3 bulk units (Carton, Pack, Dozen) from our CSV template in one batch.

  4. Trade offline, monitor from anywhere

    Counters bill customers and deduct stock offline. Every 20 seconds, connected terminals sync sales, expenses, and stock movements to your portal.

  4. Publish to parents

    Generate broadsheets in seconds and sync signed report cards and fee receipts to the cloud for parents to view from any phone.

Honest comparison

What you give up with the other options.

Cloud-only subscriptions and old single-computer programs each solve half the problem. Neither handles a multi-branch business or a school where internet connection is not guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers for Nigerian business owners and schools.

Everything you need to know about how TradePort and EduPort run on the ground in Nigeria.

Is TradePort the same as a bank card machine?

In Nigeria, “POS” often means the handheld card machine from a bank or an agent. TradePort is different. It is checkout and billing software that runs on your computer.

It scans barcodes, prints receipts, keeps stock records, enforces customer credit limits and balances the cashier’s drawer. At payment you record whether the customer paid by cash, bank transfer or card machine.

How does TradePort handle wholesale cartons versus single piece sales?

TradePort features dual-tier unit selling. Each product carries a base unit (e.g., Piece, Kg, Litre) and up to three bulk selling tiers (e.g., Carton, Pack, Dozen) with defined conversion factors and specific selling prices.

Cashiers switch between Carton and Piece at checkout. Stock always deducts strictly in base units, so selling 1 carton of 12 pieces and selling 12 individual pieces drains from the exact same inventory balance.

What happens when internet drops or power is cut?

TradePort is built offline-first. Your entire catalog and stock balance live locally on each counter computer inside an encrypted Encrypted SQLite database.

Cashiers ring up wholesale orders, issue receipts, log expenses, and close shifts with zero internet. Once power and internet return, TradePort pushes and pulls changes to your cloud Owner Portal in the background every 20 seconds.

How does TradePort protect against inventory shrinkage and theft?

Your stock figure is calculated from a permanent record of every movement, never typed over.

Any unexplained negative stock adjustment is automatically booked into a dedicated missing stock register categorized under theft, damage, record error, or natural loss. Unresolved losses deduct directly from net profit on your profit and loss reports.

Can cashiers or staff see cost prices, margins, or delete invoices?

No. TradePort enforces strict role separation across Owner, Admin, and Cashier tiers. Cashiers can only view their own sales, cannot see supplier cost prices or profit margins, and cannot delete completed invoices.

Server-side price sanity rails also block cashiers from selling items below cost price or above maximum allowable thresholds.

Can I monitor all my branches and depots from my phone abroad?

Yes. The remote Cloud Owner Portal lets you log in from any phone, tablet, or laptop browser anywhere in the world. You see consolidated or branch-by-branch sales revenue, cost of goods sold, gross and net profit margins, debtor balances, low-stock alerts, and terminal activation states in real time.

Who owns my business data and where is it stored?

You own 100% of your business data. Your primary operational records sit encrypted locally on your own computers, with automated encrypted backups. Synced data is encrypted in transit and in our cloud control plane. You can export your data to spreadsheet files anytime.
