What Kaydro is

Kaydro is one system that runs a whole business: the till, the stock room, the customer who owes you money, the wages, the accounts, and the reports that tell you whether any of it is working.

It is not a collection of separate programs. It is one system with many apps switched on or off, so a pharmacy, a hotel and a lorry company can all run on it and each one sees only the apps that make sense for the work it does.

Three things about Kaydro are worth knowing before you touch a screen, because they explain most of what you will see.

It keeps working when the internet stops. The till in particular is built for this. You can keep selling, printing receipts and taking money off the shelf with no connection at all, and everything you did is sent up the moment the connection returns. Nothing is lost and nothing needs re-typing.

Every company's data is completely separate. Two businesses using Kaydro can never see each other's customers, stock or money. This is enforced deep in the system, not just hidden on the screen.

It carries your brand, not ours. Your logo, your colours and your business name appear on the screen, on receipts and on every report. A customer holding your receipt sees your business.

Who this manual is for. Anyone who will use Kaydro: a cashier learning the till, a manager checking the day's takings, an accountant closing the month, or a Kaydro employee being trained to support customers. Start at the beginning, or jump to the chapter for the app you need. Every chapter stands on its own.
