Billing Software
The billing counter for YMTS, redesigned screen by screen so the queue keeps moving.
Overview
YMTS billing software runs the counter for businesses across industries: invoicing, stock, staff and the money in between.
The old version worked, but slowly. I redesigned it so a cashier can find a product, bill it and move to the next customer without hunting through the screen.
- 30%less time to process an invoice

Daily usage
What a cashier touches every day comes first, so taking an order never starts with a search.
Least usage
Product lists, order history and supplier details: available, but out of the main view.
Business management
Employees, payroll, expenses and the rest of running the shop.
Stock
A table edited through a popup became two clear actions.
Before
AfterCredit
Add products to inventory when new stock arrives.
Debit
Remove products, with a reason: expired items, excess stock, corrections.
