Costo - Business Simplified

Run one counter. Or run the whole company.

Costo is a connected business platform for restaurants, cafes, bakeries and retail - bringing POS, inventory, purchasing, suppliers, expenses and accounting into one system.

Start with what you need today. A small shop can run costo from a single phone, without setting up a complicated ERP. Sell products, track stock, record expenses and see how the business is doing.

As the business grows, costo grows with it. Turn on advanced tools for multiple branches and warehouses, purchasing workflows, recipes, supplier management, landed costs, staff permissions and double-entry accounting without moving your data to another system.

One business. One source of truth.

Make a sale and costo can update the stock behind it, calculate its cost and reflect the transaction in your accounts. Receive goods and inventory and supplier balances stay connected. Move stock between warehouses and both locations remain in sync.

Instead of maintaining separate systems for the till, inventory, purchasing and accounting, costo keeps the operation connected from the first sale to the financial statements.

MONEY & ACCOUNTING
Start with the numbers you need to run the business. Use the deeper accounting tools when you need them.

• Double-entry accounting generated from operational activity
• Chart of accounts

• Profit and loss reporting

FROM ONE PHONE TO MANY BRANCHES

Costo is designed for businesses at different stages.

A small owner-operated shop can use the essentials from one device.

A growing business can add employees, purchasing and more inventory control.

A larger operation can manage multiple branches, warehouses, tills, suppliers and staff from the same platform.

• Switch between branches from one account
• Separate stock, tills, prices and reporting by branch
• Manage multiple warehouses
• Control what each staff member can access
• Keep operations and accounting connected across the business

You do not need to replace the system just because the business becomes more complex.

SIMPLE WHEN YOU START. ADVANCED WHEN YOU NEED IT.

costo does not force every ERP feature onto every business.

Variants, multiple warehouses, multiple suppliers, barcodes, product options and advanced workflows can stay out of the way until you need them.

Start simple. Turn on more capabilities as your operation grows.

The same platform can serve the person making a sale at the counter, the manager controlling inventory, the purchasing team working with suppliers and the accountant reviewing the books.
