Spare parts are interchangeable: one SKU, many identical units, one price. A second-hand phone is not. Each unit has its own purchase price, its own repair bill and its own margin, and treating it like bulk stock is how shops end up guessing what a phone earned them. ManageWorks keeps one row per physical handset.
New and second-hand are different purchases
A sealed phone comes from a distributor with an invoice. A second-hand one comes from a walk-in seller and needs an identity record. The buy form asks for one set of details or the other, never both.
- New: supplier and invoice reference
- Second-hand: seller name, phone and ID proof
- ID proof can be Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID or driving licence
- Condition graded A to D on your own label
IMEI on every unit
Each handset is recorded against its IMEI, with a second IMEI for dual-SIM units. That is what makes a specific phone findable later — when a customer returns, when you need the purchase record, or when you are asked where a device came from.
Margin measured against purchase plus refurb
A phone bought at ₹6,000 that needed a ₹1,200 display did not cost ₹6,000. ManageWorks measures margin against what you actually put into the unit, so the profit on screen is the profit in your pocket.
- Purchase price and repair cost tracked per unit
- Live margin as you set the asking price
- Ageing on unsold stock — the number that says discount it
Selling is one step
Recording a sale sets the status, the date and the computed profit together. There is no half-finished state where a phone is off the shelf but still counted as stock.
