If the device is cheap enough(so theft is not a concern), and it has a wifi signal, a barcode scanner could easily be plugged in, or added wirelessly so it can track SKUs or whatever the shop uses. It syncs to a more powerful device which can maintain inventory counts .

Oooooooo

Now you are talking.

The website does NOT explain this. I read about the app which is meh. You end up like thousands of copycat khata apps that do single entry accounting.

Didnt test your app but that is quite difficult to do on its own so if you are able to connect with existing accounting softwares, then it can be much better.

(Just to clarify -- I'm personally not involved in the app, but the ESP32 platform is versatile, and IIRC has built in bluetooth, so I don't think it's big stretch to assume they could add this)
