Overview

A well-loved home decor & lifestyle store

My Home Plus is a well-loved home decor and lifestyle store in Thimphu, offering everything from furniture and mirrors to cushions, flowers, gifts, and everyday home essentials. As footfall and product range grew, so did the demands of running the store — and the limits of managing it all by hand became harder to ignore.

Like many growing retail stores in Bhutan, My Home Plus had been running on manual operations. The store needed a system that could keep pace with a busy retail floor — one built for the realities of doing business in Bhutan.

The Challenge

Manual operations couldn't keep pace with a growing store

  • No real-time view of stock — knowing what was actually on the shelf relied on memory and manual checks, so fast-moving items could run out unnoticed.

  • Slow, error-prone billing — manual calculations at the counter cost time and left room for mistakes during busy hours.

  • Time-consuming end-of-day reconciliation — tallying sales and stock by hand ate into hours that could have been spent serving customers.

  • Limited business visibility — without proper reports, spotting best-sellers, slow movers, or sales trends was largely guesswork.

The Solution

aBitPOS — cloud retail management, built for Bhutan

My Home Plus moved to aBitPOS, aBit's cloud-based retail and wholesale management platform built specifically for the Bhutanese market. The switch gave the team:

  • Real-time inventory with low-stock alerts

    Every item is tracked live, so the shelf and the system always match — and fast movers get reordered before they run out.

  • Fast, accurate checkout

    Barcode scanning and billing in Ngultrum (Nu.) keep the counter moving and remove manual calculation errors.

  • GST & TDS-ready reporting

    Reporting aligned with Bhutan's tax rules and the July–June fiscal year — compliant records without the manual workarounds.

  • Cloud access, anytime

    Sales and stock data are available from anywhere, so the owner can keep an eye on the store without being tied to the counter.

  • Business insights built in

    Reports and analytics turn guesswork into data — guiding smarter buying and pricing decisions.

  • Local, on-ground support

    Backed by aBit's team right here in Thimphu — help that understands Bhutanese retail and is just a call away.

Implementation

The full rollout, completed in a single day

The full rollout was completed in a single day by aBit consultants Novin & Manita.

  1. Step 1

    System configuration

    The store profile was created and settings tailored to My Home Plus's day-to-day operations.

  2. Step 2

    Module orientation & workflow

    Every module was walked through with the team, the end-to-end workflow was explained, and all questions were addressed on the spot.

  3. Step 3 · Go-Live

    Go-live & handover

    Implementation was completed, the system went live, stability was confirmed, and daily operations were handed over with ongoing support guidance in place.

By the end of Day 1, My Home Plus was fully operational on aBitPOS.
