erp.knopka · a location's money and team
what it does
an ERP that calculates your location by itself
ERP.Knopka receives orders, payments, refunds and technician output from the CRM and calculates revenue and cash by day, monthly location profit, technician pay by each location's rates, the shift schedule and payouts, inventory of supplies with minimum stock levels and push notifications, and royalties. nothing is entered twice.
from the CRM
- orders
- payments
- refunds
- technician output
the ERP calculates
- revenue and cash by day
- monthly location profit
- technician pay by rates
- shifts and payouts
- inventory of supplies
- royalties
what it calculates
a location's money and team — in one system
finance
revenue and cash by day, location profit by month
every day you can see how much cash came in and what the turnover is. for the month the ERP puts together location profit: revenue, pay, supplies, royalties and what is left. profit “on paper” and money “in hand” are side by side, so you can see how they differ.
- revenue and cash for the day
- payments that came from the CRM — as a list by order
- monthly location profit: P&L and cash flow
- turnover, fixed and variable expenses, payroll, tax
- payment calendar: overdue, due, next
team
technician pay by each location's rates
every technician has their own rates: per service or per service category, as a percentage or a fixed amount per item. the work comes from the CRM — the ERP accrues pay by the rate itself. if a piece of work has no rate, the accrual is highlighted right away instead of being lost until the end of the month.
- rates by service and by category — each employee has their own
- percentage of the amount after the discount or before it — as the partner decides
- accruals from CRM events: who did what and for which order
- highlighting of work without a rate
- “mark as paid”, partial payout, repayment of an advance
- the ERP does not transfer money, it keeps the balance due; export to Excel
inventory
an inventory of supplies without a sudden “we ran out”
a minimum stock level is set for every supply. when the stock crosses it, the location manager or partner gets a push notification once — “running low” — so purchasing starts before the technician has nothing to work with.
- supplies stock levels per location
- minimum stock level for every item
- push notification about low stock
- starter set of supplies and inventory categories
franchise
royalties on the location's terms
the ERP calculates royalties from the money that actually came into the location's cash register during the month — after discounts and net of refunds. the partner and the head office look at one number instead of reconciling two spreadsheets.
- royalties from the money the cash register received in the month
- terms — each location has its own
- one number for the partner and the head office
team
shift schedule and payouts
shift schedule
who works at the location and when — in the same system where pay is calculated.
payouts by period
accruals are collected by period and by employee.
balance due
for each employee: accrued, paid in parts, remaining.
where the data comes from
the data comes from the CRM
the ERP does not ask you to enter sales a second time. an order, a payment, a refund and a technician's output appear in CRM.Knopka — and through it they reach the ERP. that is why the ERP works together with the CRM.
an employee signs in with a single ID.Knopka account and sees only their own locations and their own role.
status
where the ERP stands now
now
the ERP is live at the first locations of the SneakNFresh network

- in progress: cost of services by usage norms and rate history
- supplies are not yet written off automatically by norms when an order is closed — stock levels are kept per location inventory
