Creating Products from the Mobile App

The POS app allows you to create products with a 6-step wizard:

1. Scan Code — Scan the barcode (optional). If the code exists in external databases, it auto-fills product information.
2. Capture Photo — Take a product photo with the camera.
3. Basic Information — Name, SKU, description, category, brand, model, tags.
4. Price and Taxes — Cost, selling price, promotional price, taxes.
5. Inventory — Enable inventory tracking, initial stock, minimum stock, weight.
6. Summary — Review all information before confirming.

Advanced Features

Creating variants, modifiers, and attributes is only available from the Web Portal. The mobile app is designed for quickly creating products from the point of sale.

The mobile wizard includes AI enrichment: when you enter the product name, NAOS AI can automatically suggest a description, category, and tags.

Bulk Import (CSV)

If you have hundreds of products, import them from a CSV file:

1. Go to Products in the web portal.
2. Press “Import”.
3. Download the CSV template for your mode (restaurant, retail, or salon).
4. Fill in the fields in the template.
5. Upload the file and NAOS will process all items.

Format

Use the provided template to avoid errors. Each mode has different columns.

AI Generation

NAOS can automatically generate products using artificial intelligence:

1. On the Products page, press “Generate with AI”.
2. Describe what you need (e.g., “Coffee shop menu with 20 products”).
3. NAOS AI generates products with name, description, suggested price, category, and tags.
4. Review and edit the generated products before confirming them.

The AI adapts products to your store mode (dishes for restaurant, items for retail, services for salon).

Organization Tips

1. Category Colors: Make quick navigation easier on the POS.
2. Featured Products: Mark your best sellers so they appear first.
3. Consistent Tags: Use standardized tags to improve searches (e.g., “popular”, “new”, “seasonal”).
4. Logical SKU: Define a SKU convention (e.g., CAT-PROD-VAR) to simplify management.
