Choosing your modules

SBB is modular: enable only what your business needs, and the navigation stays clean. Owners manage modules in Settings → Modules.

Which do I need?

A shop, pharmacy or supermarket — Inventory & POS. Add HR once you have staff on a payroll.

A restaurant, bar or hotel — Inventory & POS, then switch the till to restaurant mode for tables, tabs and kitchen dockets. See POS.

A service business or consultancy — core is often enough. You need invoices and expenses, not stock.

A nonprofit, church or foundation — NGO mode alongside core. Add HR if you employ people.

A savings group — Circles.

An accounting firm — see For accounting firms. That is a separate workspace rather than a module.

Start small

Switch on what you will use this month. A module enabled speculatively is extra navigation to scroll past, and a half-used module produces half-true reports.

You can add one at any time, and the data you already have flows into it.

Module rules with a paid subscription

  • Adding a module requires an active subscription (trials count). If your plan has expired, renew first from the Subscription page.
  • Removing a module is blocked while a paid plan is active — modules stay available until the end of the period you paid for. This protects you from losing access to data views mid-cycle.
