What you just saw

Order and books stay linked

  • Customer orders in chat

    Shop code + items — read-back with Confirm · Change · Cancel.

  • One-tap Accept

    Accept · Decline · Out of stock — then Paid cash or On the book.

  • Credit needs a yes

    On the book asks Allow or Deny. Nothing writes until you say yes.

  • How much do I owe?

    Customer asks anytime — clear balance, not a mental list.

Savings

How much could Hellobru put back in your till?

Estimates only — based on typical SA informal / spaza patterns from public research. Not a promise. Your shop will differ. Hellobru has not measured these outcomes yet.

if Hellobru helps you catch…

About R 680/month back in your pocket

Tabs recovered R 225 if you recover about half of those forgotten tabs
Stock leak cut R 108 if clearer stock + order records cut about a third of that leak
Time saved R 344 if you get back about 40% of that chasing time

That’s ~R 8 160/year if it holds.

Pilot is free for 6–8 weeks — see if the numbers feel real in your shop.
