The core value of the ApneDukaan solution is in the capabilities it offers in driving repeat sales from your existing customers using actionable insights from customer transactions and engagements with your company. The ApneDukaan system provides bulk data import capabilities for bringing in data from your existing POS software. The imported data is then used by the system to derive the insights you need to drive customers back to your stores. For completeness, the ApneDukaan solution provides free, optional cloud-enabled sales operations support tools (POS, Customer Loyalty, Promo, and Product Management) to those businesses that do not already have such tools, or are simply not happy with their current tools. These tools are tightly integrated into the ApneDukaan system platform and provides capabilities for capturing the data required for deriving actionable insights. It also provides the enabling platform for rewarding and enticing customers to keep coming back to the stores. You may download the Products, Customers, and Order import file templates for use in collecting the data from your preferred POS software for bulk import into the ApneDukaan system.
No others will not be able to access you data, your data is secure with us. The system platform is hosted in a highly secure and highly available facility with multi-layered firewall protection to prevent intrusion. The platform maintains a separate, exclusive database for each of our customers so your business has its own dedicated database that is NOT SHARED with other businesses. Your database is backed up daily and can be restored in the unlikely event that is needed. Access to the data in your database is controlled by user login accounts that are created and maintained by your system administrator and all transactions are performed via industry standard Secured Socket Layer (SSL) or HTTPS connections.

Once downloaded and saved, open the file in a Microsoft Excel and update the values in the Quantity On Hand column.

The system will automatically update the Quantity On Hand values in your Product Inventory database with the new values contained in the file.

Parked Orders are Customer Orders that are in progress but have not yet been paid for. The ability to Park an Order allows the user to deal with situations where a customer forgets something they needed while at the check-out counter and their Order is being processed then decides to go get it. In this case the Order can be Parked, so the next customer can be serviced and once that customer returns from picking up the item they forgot, the Parked Order can be retrieved and continued from where it was left off. This feature is also useful in a restaurant setting, where diners order their meals but do not pay until they are done eating. In this case as well, the user will take the diner's meal order, Park the Order, then retrieve the Order later to process payments once the diner is done with their meal. Note that the Parked Order may be retrieved, updated and re-Parked as many times as required during the course of the diner's time at the restaurant. Parked Orders between any two dates can be retrieved using the new Retrieve Parked Order button on the Order form.
