DigitalNation BMS — Add Your First Product
Adding your first product in BMS takes 5 minutes — name, category, price, and stock. BMS handles three product types: simple, variant, and IMEI-serialized. This tutorial walks you through digitizing your shop’s inventory step by step.
New stock just arrived. Boxes open, items on the counter — but your system is still empty. Four simple steps, and that changes forever.
Step 1: Create a Category
Location: /vendor/inventory → Categories
Capture: Category grid + "New Category" button
Before any product, it needs a home. Think “Mobile”, “Chargers”, “Cables” — the shelves of your digital shop.
- Open Products → Categories
- Click New Category
- Type the name → Save
Step 2: Start a New Product
Location: /vendor/products/new
Capture: Name + category dropdown + product type selector
Products → New Product.
Two fields, and you’re moving:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Name | Samsung A15 |
| Category | Mobile |
Step 3: Choose the Product Type
Location: /vendor/products/new → Type
Capture: 3-4 type cards (Simple, Variant, IMEI, Batch)
Match the type to how you actually sell:
| Type | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Simple | One price, one stock — like a charger |
| Variant | Color, RAM, storage — like a phone |
| IMEI | Every piece gets a unique number — for mobile shops |
| Batch/Expiry | Expiry tracking matters — for pesticides |
For most businesses: Simple is enough.
Step 4: Price & Stock
Location: /vendor/products/new → Pricing
Capture: Purchase price + sale price + stock quantity
Two prices, one number:
- Purchase price — what you paid
- Sale price — what you’ll sell for
- Stock — how many pieces you have
Tip: Get the purchase price right. Your profit report depends on it.
Step 5: Save
Location: /vendor/products/new → Bottom
Capture: Save button + success toast
Click Save. Done — your first product lives in the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up product inventory software for my shop in Pakistan?
In BMS, create a category first, then add a new product — name, category, price, and stock. For a simple product, 5 minutes is enough. Variant and IMEI products take a bit longer — each variant or IMEI gets its own entry.
Can I edit a product later?
Yes — price, stock, name, image, everything. Nothing is locked.
Is a category mandatory?
Not required, but strongly recommended — your reports stay clean.
Can I add hundreds of products at once?
Yes — use CSV import to bring in bulk inventory in one go.
How do I track IMEI for mobile phones?
When adding a product, turn on the IMEI feature. Each unit gets its own IMEI slot. At sale time, pick the exact IMEI — the system records who bought it.
