About Khaas Pret & Apparel

Founded in Lahore's premier fashion district on MM Alam Road, Khaas Pret & Apparel offers ready-to-wear kurtas, luxury pret, unstitched collections, and embroidered festive wear. With footfall surging dramatically on weekends and before Eid, managing multi-tier size variants (XS to XXL) and dynamic promotional pricing across thousands of SKUs required a rock-solid, cloud-synced retail POS.

The Problem

The Operational Challenges

During Eid shopping rushes and seasonal launches, manual barcode lookups and spreadsheet records caused long billing delays, stockouts in popular sizes, and time-consuming manual FBR sales tax compilation.

Variant matrix blindspots: Tracking individual garment sizes (XS to XXL), colorways, and fabric cuts on basic cash registers caused frequent stockout surprises where popular medium and small sizes sold out unrecorded.
Peak checkout congestion: During pre-Eid and festive rush hours, billing queues stretched across the sales floor as cashiers manually verified markdown discount percentages and hand-keyed unbarcoded items.
FBR Tier-1 regulatory overhead: Compiling paper sales slips for monthly sales tax filings took 3 full working days every month, with constant stress over non-compliance under FBR Tier-1 retail POS integration rules.
Inter-branch inventory blindspots: Stock movement between their MM Alam flagship boutique and Packages Mall outlet relied on nightly phone calls and WhatsApp messages, causing stock reconciliation errors.
The Strategy

The Hulm POS Solution

Deployed Hulm POS with multi-attribute variant matrix barcodes, automated promotional discount rules, real-time multi-branch stock sync, and direct FBR PRAL Tier-1 API integration.

Single-screen matrix billing allowing cashiers to scan or tap garment styles, select size and color with one touch, and apply promotional discounts automatically.
Native FBR Tier-1 POS integration printing verifiable QR codes on every customer invoice within 1.5 seconds, directly linked to PRAL servers.
Real-time multi-outlet stock sync giving store managers instant visibility into stock levels across both MM Alam Road and Packages Mall locations.
Automated barcode tag generator creating custom hangtag labels with SKU, barcode, size, color, fabric, and MSRP directly from purchase receipts.
