Getting started

MerchMind is a multi-branch business system. You install the apps you need (Catalog, Inventory, Point of Sale, and others), then run day-to-day work from the sidebar.

  1. Dashboard — overview tiles and (for admins) a Getting Started checklist.
  2. Apps — install modules your business needs if they are not already live.
  3. Settings & users — invite staff and assign roles when you are ready to share access.

If you are an admin, complete the checklist on the dashboard (create products, set up POS, etc.). Staff can open Application tour from the account menu for a short walk through the main areas.

App What it is for
Catalog What you sell — items, units, taxes, price lists
Inventory What you have on hand — warehouses, purchases, adjustments
POS Selling at the register — shifts, sales, customers, reports
Contacts Customers (POS) and suppliers (Inventory) in one nav area

Creating a product in Catalog does not put stock on the shelf. Stock increases when you receive a purchase, post opening stock, or (rarely) correct balances. See Catalog vs stock.

Full documentation is also available from the ERP account menu → Documentation.
