Why use this system
Compared with what your shop uses now Notebooks, Excel and shop software
See where the system fits in the shop's work, how it differs from what you use now, what you have to change and what the fee pays for, stated as the system really works.
Where the system fits in the shop's work
It covers everything from before you pay for a purchase to the true profit after the sale, not just a record of what was sold.
1. Buy
Record the seller and consent, scan or type the IMEI, and the system checks whether the device is already in stock or has passed through the shop.
2. Inspect
A checklist for each product category. Every item starts as "normal"; tap only the points with a problem.
3. Valuation
Safe Buy is the highest price worth paying, with its confidence and sample size (Starter plan and above).
4. Pay and record
Every money entry is stored permanently and can only be corrected by cancelling it with a reason.
5. Stock and repairs
Repairs, parts, shipping and fees are tied to each device.
6. Sell
In store or online. Amounts waiting for a platform payout are kept apart from cash.
7. True profit and alerts
Profit per device after every cost, plus a morning alert for stale stock or prices below cost.

What you have to change
Buying and selling stay the same; only a few things are added.
What stays the same
- Negotiate, buy and sell the way your shop already does.
- Print purchase slips and receipts in Thai for customers.
- Works on the phone you already have, with nothing to install and no extra equipment to buy.
What is added
- Pick the model and spec from a list instead of typing model names.
- Scan or type the IMEI when buying.
- Inspect with a checklist. Every item starts as "normal"; tap only the points with a problem.
- Record repairs and costs against each device.
If your stock or customer list is already in Excel, import it yourself. The system matches columns, lets you check before confirming and can roll back within 30 days. How to move from Excel
Pawn shops: how this differs from general pawn software
The pawn contract part (interest, renewal, redemption, tickets) is something general pawn software already has. Ours opens once the rules are verified in the system. For now pawn shops can use buying and selling, stock and true profit.
Pawn, sale with right of redemption and buying kept apart
They are different transaction types from the start and are not mixed in one ledger.
Forfeited items continue into stock in one system
See the cost and true profit of forfeited items like any other stock, with no re-entry.
Law held as data
Rates, terms and documents are stored as rules with effective dates and can be updated when the law changes.
A ledger that cannot be edited afterwards
Every payment and renewal is stored permanently with an audit trail.
When does the fee pay for itself: work it out from your own number
Enter how much you overpay per device on average. The page shows how many overpaid devices a month equal the fee. It is plain division, not a guaranteed result.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from keeping records in a notebook or Excel?
A notebook or Excel records what has already happened. This system helps you decide before you pay: it works out Safe Buy from the prices your shop really sold at, ties repair costs and fees to each device, blocks duplicate devices by IMEI and flags stale stock every morning.
Do I have to change how I work a lot?
Buying and selling stay the same. What is added is picking the model and spec from a list, scanning or typing the IMEI and inspecting with a checklist, which starts every item as "normal" so you tap only the points with a problem.
Why pay monthly or yearly?
Because it is a service with ongoing costs: servers, backups, security, product updates and support. If you stop paying, your shop's data can still be exported as files at any time.

When does the system pay for itself?
You can work it out from your own numbers: how many overpaid devices a month equal the fee, and if the system helps you avoid at least that many, it pays for itself. It is not a guaranteed result; use the calculator on this page.
