Welcome to ArmPOS

This guide shows you around ArmPOS. By the end you will know what the dashboard tells you, how to reach any page, and where to find help.

The dashboard

ArmPOS opens on the dashboard. It has three tabs: Overview, Sales and Inventory.

On Overview you see:

• Total sales in your default warehouse, with the change against the period before and the number of invoices. Its button (7D to start) picks the period: Today, Last 7 days, This month, Last 30 days, Last 6 months, Last 12 months or Custom range….
• Products: your Best sellers, the products Rising, and those running Low stock.
• Business overview: purchases, profit and its margin, sales returns and purchase returns. See all opens the Profit and Loss report.
• Decisions powered by data: a shortcut to AI reports when your plan has them, otherwise to your reports.
• Sales performance: a chart of your sales over 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months or 1 year.

In a new shop, Overview starts with the Getting started card. It lists four steps to your first sale:

• Add your logo and business details
• Add your products
• Add your team
• Make your first sale

Each row opens the page for that step. A step shows Done once your shop's own data shows it, and the badge counts them, such as "1 of 4 done". The card goes once every step is done, or when someone clickes its Hide button, the x, which hides it for the whole shop. Only people who can open Settings see it. When phone alerts are available, a fifth step appears: Get alerts on your phone.

The menu

The menu on the left groups pages by job: Sell, Inventory, Customers, Reports & finance, Team & projects and Setup. You only see the pages your role and your plan include.

Help for the page you are on

Press ? in the top bar. A panel opens beside the page with the guide for that page, a Search help box, Ask support and Full guide. The page stays usable beside it, and the panel follows you as you move between pages.

Help center is at the bottom of the menu. Search any word, or open a guide from its section. The menu search also finds it by "docs", "guide" or "how to". If a guide doesn't answer your question, Ask support in the panel, or Support at the bottom of the menu, opens a ticket with our team.
