Your accountant
Necessary, but six weeks late.
Tells you what March looked like — in May. No SKU view, no restock signal.
Per month€120 – €300
Your Z-report says €1.847. Doesn't say which SKUs carried the day, which sat dead on the shelf, or which supplier quietly raised wholesale. nouz settles your daily margin, restock signal and fixed-cost slice — and shows you EBIT before you flip the closed sign.

The Z-report says €1.847,00. Cash matches card. Drawer's reconciled.
Did the cordless drills carry the day, or was it 28 small impulse buys? Which SKU just stocked out?
You don't know. Three weeks ago the screws supplier raised wholesale 3% across the line — your shelf prices didn't move, and you have no idea what that did to margin. The drill that was selling six a week last month sold two this week and you can't tell if the price-bump rumour spooked customers or it's just slow.
You'll find out roughly six weeks from now, when your accountant lands the quarterly. By then the next quarter has already started. By then the next quarter has already started. The screws have been bleeding the whole time. The drill is still on the shelf taking up space the seasonal lights should be on.
You lock up. The numbers you needed to make Monday's restock call were sitting in the POS the whole time. Just not in a form you could read in under an hour.
For an independent shop doing around €35k/month, here's where the margin quietly leaves the building. Each leak is one small thing. Each one is invisible until the quarterly lands.
~€8.000 sitting in SKUs that haven't moved in 60+ days. Cost-of-capital + shelf opportunity + eventual markdown — roughly €420/month on a €35k-revenue shop.
Wholesale up 3% on three categories. Shelf prices didn't move. Margin on those lines dropped a full 4 points before the next quarterly. Catch it in week one and you re-price or re-negotiate.
Top-10 SKUs running dry without an alert. Three stockout events a quarter on items that bring traders back. A €207 sale walks. Then it walks to the chain shop down the road.
Foot traffic shifted earlier in the season. You'd see it on a 30-day heatmap. One extra body × 4 hours × 6 quiet Saturdays = €310 in wages on a slow shift.
— Illustrative figures, modelled from real retail-vertical patterns. Your version is probably worse on at least one row. nouz catches each of these the same week it happens.
You flip the closed sign. The till's reconciled. The shutter's halfway down.
Your phone is on the counter. It already says €614,80. Today's EBIT — net of cost of goods, wages, and a fair slice of rent. Three SKUs are flagged low; one is about to stock out by Tuesday. You'll order Monday before opening.
You walk home knowing what today earned. The slow-moving drill has a date on it for the next markdown round. Saturday's roster is built on the heatmap, not on what last Saturday felt like. Your accountant still files your books — but you stopped waiting on her to find out how the shop is doing.
That's the whole thing.
nouz is a daily P&L tracker, built for independent shopkeepers. It pulls your gross from your POS, costs every line at the SKU level, pro-rates your big fixed costs into a daily slice, and shows you EBIT before you lock up.
Not a replacement for your accountant — keep him. A replacement for the silence between his reports. The numbers a shop actually runs on: revenue per day, SKU margin %, restock alerts, foot-traffic patterns — and the one number on top: did today pay.
Pulled from your POS at every till-close. Hourly breakdown to plan tomorrow's hours.
Live per category. Target line at 40%. Supplier hike on screws? You see it inside a week.
Drill set 18V. 14 units, 48% margin. Re-order trigger fires at 6 units left.
Three SKUs hit re-order threshold. Order in one tap from inside the daily view.
Top SKUs today, daily revenue, margin %, restock alerts, EBIT. The screen between the morning open and Sunday's restock list.
Four interactions a day. Under a minute combined. Built to survive a chatty Saturday and a quiet Tuesday.
Coffee in hand. Drilled into the LED strip alert — six left, not four. Re-order list lined up before you flip the open sign.
Phone behind the till. One swipe. Ahead of last Friday by €240 so far — feels like it'll be a good close.
Wholesaler's invoice for the next batch of screws. Photo, tap, done. nouz auto-tags it Fasteners and re-bases the margin calculation.
POS sends gross. Variable costs already in. nouz settles fixed-cost slice and shows EBIT. Lock up, walk home.
Last 30 days as a SKU heatmap. Top sellers, slow movers, margin drift. Restock decisions on facts, not on the chat with the supplier rep.
Five honest alternatives. They all do something useful. None of them gives you today's margin and tomorrow's restock list, tonight.
Your accountant still files your books. nouz fills the silence between his reports.
An accountant tells you what March looked like — in May. nouz tells you what Tuesday looked like — on Tuesday. Different jobs, both needed. He'll thank you for the cleaner data.
Connect your POS (or paste last week's Z-report CSV). Add your three biggest fixed costs — rent, electricity, payroll baseline. Done. You'll close out tonight on nouz.
If your POS can export a daily sales total, nouz reads it. Direct hooks below — more rolling out each month.
Hosted in Frankfurt. No data leaves the EU. Export everything to CSV in one click — every line, every invoice photo. Cancel and your data leaves with you.
One number per day. Green if you made money. Red if you didn't. The rest is one tap away if you want to know why. No charts of accounts. Nothing to learn.
Single till or three. Boutique, hardware, bookshop, optician, hobby store, gift shop. If you sign the lease cheque, this is for you. Multi-location works on the same plan.
Contracts, multi-location, full POS list, cancellation. The fine-print questions, answered without fine print.
No. Monthly billing, cancel any time from inside the app. No phone calls, no "retention specialist", no please-don't-go email.
The 14-day free trial doesn't ask for a card — but signups after the trial do require one, so we can run the monthly charge cleanly. Cancel mid-month and you're charged a pro-rata amount for the days you used.
For SKUs that have a wholesale-cost field in your POS, yes — automatically. For SKUs that don't, you'll be prompted to add a unit cost once, on first sale. Takes about 10 seconds per item; you don't have to do them all at once.
When wholesale changes, snap the supplier invoice and nouz re-bases the margin from that day forward. Old sales keep their original cost.
No. If your POS can export a CSV with daily totals — and they all can — nouz reads it. Upload once a day from your phone, or schedule an email-to-import. Same daily P&L.
