VAP for Pet Stores & Supplies Retailers
Pet store software built around repeat purchases
Food expires. Customers come back monthly.
Pet retail is repeat business built on consumables with shelf lives. VAP tracks feed and treats by batch and expiry so FEFO picking clears short-dated stock first, prices each bag size with its own MRP, and turns real purchase history into reminders timed to when a customer actually runs out.
What gets in the way
Where pet stores & supplies retailers lose money
Feed ages out quietly
Pet food dates. Without batch visibility, short-dated bags sit behind fresh stock until they are a write-off rather than a discount.
Bag sizes are priced as one product
A 1kg, 3kg and 10kg bag carry different printed prices and very different margins. One price per product means staff override at the till.
Repeat business left on the table
You know roughly when a customer will need the next bag, but nothing in the system tells you — so the reminder never goes out.
What you get
Set up for pet stores & supplies retailers
Every business on VAP gets the features that trade actually needs — nothing you have to configure around. Here is what a pet supplies setup includes.
Batch & expiry tracking
Goods receipts capture lots and expiry dates, and FEFO picking clears near-expiry feed and treats first.
MRP per pack size
The 1kg, 3kg and 10kg bags each keep their own printed price and their own margin.
Customer purchase history
One party record per customer across counter and online, holding what they bought and when.
Counter billing
Barcode POS with every tender type, plus credit notes tied to the original invoice.
Purchase orders
Brand-wise purchasing against supplier price lists, with cost captured at goods receipt.
Live animals & accessories
Consumables, accessories and non-stock services sit in one catalogue with their own tax treatment.
Store + online, one stock
Your webstore sells from the same shelf, so an online order never promises what the store lacks.
GST built in
Invoices, credit notes and GST reports from the records you already billed.
In practice
What that looks like on a normal day
The monthly feed reminder
A customer bought a 10kg bag six weeks ago. The reminder goes out keyed off that purchase, not off a bulk mailing list.
Clearing short-dated feed
Pull everything within ninety days of expiry and discount or transfer it while it still has value.
Online orders from the same shelf
Home delivery draws from store stock, so the shelf and the site never disagree.
Selling online
Your website, on the same stock
Vritti builds the storefront and deploys it on Vritti Cloud, on your own domain. Connecting it to VAP is optional — but when it is connected, there is one catalogue and one inventory instead of two.
A pet store online
Vritti builds and deploys your store on Next.js and Payload CMS, reading live catalogue and stock from VAP.
Subscription-style repeat orders
Repeat purchases ride on the same customer record your counter staff work from.
FAQ
Pet Supplies software — common questions
Does it track expiry dates on pet food?
Yes. Goods receipts capture lot numbers and expiry dates line by line, and FEFO picking moves the closest-to-expiry stock first so feed sells rather than ages out.
Can different bag sizes have different prices?
Yes. MRP is recorded per unit of measure, so a 1kg, 3kg and 10kg bag each carry their own printed price and margin, captured at the pack you actually received.
Can it remind customers when they need to reorder?
Customer purchase history sits on one party record shared between the counter and your online store, so reminders can be keyed off what a customer actually bought and when it typically runs out.
Will my online store share stock with the shop?
Yes. Vritti builds your storefront to read the same per-site stock as the counter, so an online order cannot promise something the shelf no longer holds.
Does it handle accessories and services alongside food?
Yes. Consumables, accessories and non-stock lines sit in one catalogue, each with its own tax treatment, so a single bill can mix them.
