Is your work spread over 8 tools that don’t know each other?

Bookings in one place, messages in another, payments in a sheet. A change stays in one tool before it reaches the people who need it.

Tool logos are examples; they imply no partnership or endorsement.

Era brings them into one place. A few of the apps you can connect

All apps

Logos show apps you can connect; they do not imply a partnership.

Same week. Same team. A different day.

School lists in September, practice-exam sets in May; novels and stationery the rest of the year. Schools order in bulk and parents send their lists on WhatsApp.

Bookstore & stationery: the same work, today and with Era.

  • Today: Sold out after selling. The site sold it; the shelf was empty. — Era: One stock. Shop, site and marketplace draw from one stock.
  • Today: Lost orders. A WhatsApp order is on nobody’s list. — Era: Order list. Orders from every channel in one list and on the customer’s card.
  • Today: Returns mess. Which item came back and whether it was refunded is unclear. — Era: Returns flow. Returns attach to the order; stock and payment update together.
  • Today: Quiet customers. Nobody told a frequent buyer about the new arrival. — Era: Campaigns. Announcements go to customers chosen by what they buy.

One workspace. Your whole business.

Setup switches 7 sections on together: shop, sales, quotes, invoices and more. The table is a sample filled with the setup’s real services.

Ready for bookstore & stationery. Working from day one.

Everything switched on at setup comes from this business type’s own list: services, teammates, workflows and sections.

Workflows that run themselves

Wired to real events; switch them on, off or change them in plain words.

What sold most this week?

Two of the top three came from the marketplace, and one is nearly sold out. A supplier order draft is ready — approve it and I’ll send it.

Sections on from day one

7 sections switch on together; turn off what you don’t need, add more later.

Before you start

Yes. Two tax classes are ready: “Books 0%” and “Standard 20%”. Put books on the first when you add them.

Open the book → Pre-order and set the release date. Orders are taken with zero stock and you get a task the day it arrives.

Parents send the list on WhatsApp; the school-list helper matches it to your stock and gives you a task with the basket. Create the order from the task and message the total.

Write them a quote; when they accept, you approve and a 30-day invoice is issued. Finance → Receivables shows what is still open.

Shop, Sales, Quotes, Invoices, Inbox, Website, AI; 4 ready services and products, 3 teammates, 4 workflows, 18 notification rules and a website theme.

Yes. Switch on “start with sample data” during setup to get realistic customers, records and history; remove them in one step when you are ready.
