Does the gate app work for anonymous walk-in buyers?

Buyers can be registered with a profile or processed as anonymous walk-ins. Anonymous orders still generate a receipt and inventory deduction.

How is gate pricing kept consistent with distribution channel pricing?

All channels — gate included — use the same SupplyNow pricing engine. Gate-channel rules can apply a separate price tier if needed, but pricing is always engine-driven.

Can gate cash be reconciled daily with factory inventory?

Back Office reconciles gate sales against inventory dispatched, generating a daily cash and stock variance report.

Does 8Move support QR-based receipts for walk-in buyers?

SupplyNow generates a QR receipt on screen or prints it — scannable for future order inquiry or warranty reference.

How quickly can a new gate cashier be trained?

The gate app is designed for minimal training — the cashier selects products, confirms quantities, and the system handles pricing and receipt generation. Most cashiers are functional within an hour.

Back Office reconciles gate cash daily in the same flow as cash-on-delivery. The gate cashier sees only current prices — no memorization required.

Reconciling gate cash sales with factory production and inventory at end of day requires manual cross-referencing
