KaryalayOne · the parts of the office

Switch on what you use.

Every part — the modules a business switches on — is licensed on its own: leads, catalogue, stock, billing, staff, projects. Add one later and it opens onto the records you already keep.

The register

Every part of the office, and what each one is for

Grouped by the corner of the office it works in, because that is where a decision about switching one on actually gets made. Each has a page of its own — read the ones that sound like your work and leave the rest, since none of this has to be bought together.

Everyone who asks you for a price

The enquiry, the conversation that follows it, and the answers people send you.

What you sell, and what you have of it

Priced once and counted once, wherever a customer happens to be looking.

From an order to money in the bank

What was promised, what went out, what was billed and what has been paid.

The people who work for you

Hours, salaries, and the everyday requests that would otherwise reach your desk.

The work itself, and the office around it

Delivery, the figures you open the day on, and the branches and roles that decide who is allowed to see what.

Sold by the part

One system, sold as many different sets

A shop switches on what a shop needs. A distributor switches on something quite different. Neither of them is on a different product, because underneath both there is one customer list, one catalogue, one staff register and one way in.

The parts nobody has switched on are not somewhere else. They are already wired to the same records — which is why the day one of them is wanted is a short conversation rather than a project.

Adding one later

Add a part later, and leave the rest genuinely off

The part you switch on in year three opens onto everything entered in year one — the same customers, the same catalogue, the same staff register. Until you switch it on it is not there at all. Both halves are worth checking before you buy anything.

  1. What you already have

    A customer list built one bill at a time. Items you have priced and sold. People whose hours you have been keeping since the day they joined.

  2. The day a part is switched on

    It is a setting we change — nothing is installed, no second organisation is created, and nobody signs in anywhere new.

  3. What you never do

    You do not export anything, retype anything, or keep a second list that has to be reconciled with the first. The records were never separate, so there is nothing to join up.

Which leaves the two states themselves, said plainly.

When a part is switched on

It is there the next time your system checks in: in the menu, for the people whose role allows it, and opening onto the records you already keep.

When a part is left off

It is not in the menu, and it is not quietly sitting behind the menu either. Anybody who goes looking for it directly is refused, so nobody on your staff can wander into a part of the office you have not bought.

How much you keep inside each part — the people, the branches, the space — is settled the same way and at the same time, and it is set out with the plans rather than left to a conversation. What a set of parts costs →

There is no edition of this that a growing business has to move up to. There is only the same system, with more of it switched on.

That is why a shop and a distributor can run on sets that barely overlap and still be sold the same thing. What you pay follows which parts you keep and how much you keep in them — and both of those are yours to change, without a single record having to move anywhere.
