Guide for farms
For crop and livestock farms: what each field or herd costs and produces, treatments with withdrawal periods, and records a bank will accept.
1Day one: set up in about 30 minutes
- Open Stock and tap "Add product" for each item, or import your whole list from Excel or CSV. Give each item its selling price and, if you buy in cartons and sell in pieces, add both units.
- If an item is already on your shelf, enter its opening stock so WithOpp knows what you have today.
- Open Settings → Business details and Tax and TRA. Your name, phone, TIN and VRN print on receipts. VAT is added only when you enter a VRN.
- Open Settings → Features and turn on only what your business does - for example "Sell on credit" or "Buy from suppliers". You can change this any time; nothing is deleted.
- Open Team and invite the people who work with you. Each person gets a role, so a cashier never sees cost prices.
On the first day of a new business, Home shows a small "Finish setting up" list. When it is gone, you are ready.
2Fields and herds
- Open Farm → "New field or herd": a crop field with its size, or a herd / flock with its number of animals.
- Each one shows its costs, the value produced, cost per unit of output and whether it made a profit or a loss.
3Recording farm work
- Tap "Record" on a field or herd and choose what happened: milk / eggs / output, used from stock, treatment / vaccine, paid cost, harvest, born, died, sold.
- Output goes into stock, ready to sell at the till.
- For treatments, enter the next dose date and the withdrawal days. WithOpp shows a red warning not to sell milk, eggs or meat until it is safe.
- Use "Print farm record" when a bank or lender asks for your records.
4Selling at the till
- Open Sell. The first time, give the till a name and tap "Start selling" - this needs internet once; after that the till also sells without internet.
- Find items by scanning a barcode, typing the name or short code, tapping a quick button, or scanning with the phone camera.
- Tap "Pay" and choose Cash, Mobile money, Bank / Card or On account. You can split one sale across several payment methods.
- After the sale, print the receipt (58 mm, 80 mm or A4) or send it by WhatsApp or SMS.
- Serving a second customer before the first one is ready? Tap "Hold", then "Resume" later.
Sales made offline are sent automatically when the internet comes back. Anything unusual (a changed price, short stock) appears in Money → "Sales to review".
5End of the day and money
- Tap "Close the day" on Home. For each payment method WithOpp shows what should be there; type the cash you counted and the amounts on your mobile money and bank statements.
- WithOpp tells you "Balanced", "Short by" or "Over by" for each line. Save the cash-up - it is kept for the owner to see.
- Money you take for yourself, or put into the business, goes under Money → "Owner money". It is kept out of expenses, so your profit stays true.
- Record rent, salaries, transport and other costs under Expenses, so reports show the real profit.
6Knowing how you are doing
- Home shows today's work first: the main button for your type of business and the numbers for today.
- Alerts lists what needs attention - low stock, money owed, items expiring - each with one button to fix it.
- Reports shows today, this week, this month or any dates you choose: sales, profit and loss, top products and plain-language insights.
- On the Business and Enterprise plans, Reports also compares with the previous period, shows key numbers for your type of business, money in each account and advanced analytics.
7Your team
- In Team, tap "Invite team member", choose their role and branch, and share the invitation by WhatsApp or email.
- If you want staff to clock in before selling, turn on "Clock in before selling" in Team → Attendance. The owner is never blocked.
- Team → Performance shows sales and hours per person.
- Each person can lock WithOpp with a PIN when they step away (Account → App lock and devices).
