1
Start from operations, not features
Write down your daily flow first: invoices per day, branch count, weighed sales, registers. A system that fails your flow earns nothing from its feature list, however long.
💡 Tip:
Always start with these fundamental steps before moving to other modules.

Non-negotiables
Automatic journal entries for every sale and purchase, per-item profitability, branch-level accounting, full Arabic in interface and reports, and daily automatic backups.
3
Ask the vendor before paying
What is my real two-year cost (licence + users + training + support)? What happens to my data if I stop subscribing? How long does a new cashier take to learn? Who answers the phone at peak time?

Costly mistakes
Bigger than needed means a rollout that never ends. Smaller means replacement within a year. And unpublished custom-development pricing turns every later change into a new negotiation.
5
Trial it on your own data
Ask for a trial you load with your own items and branches; demo data shows the best, your data shows the truth. DBTech offers a 30-day trial and free migration — put every vendor through this same list.
