Industry template guide

Choose the template that best matches how your business stocks and sells. Industry is a one-time starter pack only — after signup you control Item Types, Item Attributes, and modules yourself.

How industry templates work

  1. Industry is chosen once at signup as a starter pack — not a permanent mode.
  2. It pre-enables Item Types, Item Attributes, starter categories, and recommended modules (POS, Manufacturing, etc.).
  3. After setup you change everything under Inventory → Item Types / Item Attributes, and via add-ons — never by “industry”.
  4. Pick the closest match to how you sell and stock goods. Wrong pick is fine: you can turn types and fields on or off later.

Quick picks

  • Sell stocked goods + labour? Choose Retail or Automotive (Product · Part · Service).
  • Cook, bake, or make from ingredients? Choose Food & Beverage or Manufacturing (Product · Raw · Service).
  • Tyre/fitment size and new/used condition matter? Choose Tyre Shop or Auto Repair.
  • Unsure? Choose Other — all types and attributes start ON so you can narrow later.
