Michi Bodega

The point of sale for liquor stores and beverage depots in Ecuador that never loses a sale.

Start free
Sale in progress at a beverage store register with seven products and the total.
Screenshot of the system with demo data.
Barcode scan3 accounts on holdSell offlineSRI invoicing

A notebook for the empty bottles. The app that freezes without a signal. And the customer who steps out for a phone, with the sale half charged.

Michinauta replaces that with a counter that scans the barcode, sells by unit or by case, and parks up to three accounts while you serve the next one.

What does Michi Bodega do?

Fewer notebooks, more counter. Each group sits next to a real screen of the system, with sample data.

At the counter

Barcode scan
Read the code with the phone camera or a USB scanner that connects as a keyboard. The product lands on the ticket without a manual search.
Camera or USB scanner
Sell by unit or by case
Charge the loose unit or the full case with the same code, at prices that already include VAT. The customer sees one total, with nothing added on the side.
Prices include VAT
Three accounts on hold
If a customer steps out for a phone or cash, the counter parks that account with what was already scanned and keeps charging the line. Up to three accounts can wait at once, each with its own items.
Nobody loses their turn
Sell offline
If the internet drops mid-sale, the charge still closes and stays on the device. When the signal returns it syncs with your other stores and the receipt is issued to the SRI then: the sale is never lost, and the register shows the state of each receipt.
The sale closes; the receipt goes out when the network returns
Receipt by QR
When the sale closes, the customer gets the receipt by scanning a QR, with the option to email it too if they ask.
QR · Optional email
Michi Bodega register screen with a sale of four lines, plus and minus quantity buttons, and returned containers
The sale, line by line. Build the ticket line by line, adjust each quantity with plus and minus, and record the returnable containers the customer brings back.

Stock and containers

Returnable containers
The empty container the customer brings back is counted by hand when it is received and stays on the sale and in that store's container inventory, so you know how many you have to return to the distributor. It is not read by barcode.
Manual count
Stock by store, with replenishment
Each shelf has a target level. When stock falls below the percentage you set, the product appears on the replenishment list.
Alert at a percentage you set
Several stores, one account
Each store keeps its own stock and its own accounts on hold, and all of them are managed from the same account.
Multi-store
Michi Bodega kardex screen for the day with type, quantity, cost, and balance per movement, and the returnable containers held by the store
The day's kardex. Every movement of the day with its type, quantity, cost, and balance, and separately the returnable containers the store is holding.

Purchases and expenses

Purchases and suppliers
You register the supplier and the goods they deliver, with the purchase document. That store's stock comes in with the receipt.
Goods receipt
Expenses with VAT credit
You record the store expense and confirm whether the VAT on that purchase goes to credit. You or your accountant make that confirmation.
From the Basic plan
Michi Bodega purchases screen with a list of suppliers with their RUC and a form to record a delivery
Suppliers and deliveries. The suppliers, each with their RUC, and a form to record a delivery of goods.

Closing, SRI and accountant

Electronic invoicing to the SRI
Each sale you close generates its electronic receipt for the SRI, on the same invoicing engine as the rest of Michinauta.
Electronic receipt
Preparatory VAT summary
Builds, by month or by semester, the bases and the recorded VAT of sales, purchases, and expenses, to compare with the SRI prefill and with your accountant. It does not replace the return.
From the Basic plan
Accountant access
Your accountant signs in with their own user to Taxes and Accounting, without taking a cashier seat.
From the Basic plan
Michi Bodega register shifts screen with the opening and counted amounts and the marks Short $0.50 and Balanced
Each shift, reconciled. Each shift with its opening and the amount counted, and a mark that says whether it balanced or how much was short.

Risk-free switch · until December 31, 2026

We move your data. You keep invoicing.

From January 1, 2027 the SRI desktop invoicer stops receiving updates. Move to a paid plan by December 31, 2026 and we load your clients, products and opening balances for you, and check them with you against your current numbers.

  • Your RUC, your signature

    Invoices are issued in your business's name, signed with your e-signature, and the SRI authorizes them for your RUC.

  • A user for your accountant

    Your accountant logs in with their own user, without using a seat of your plan: sees taxes and, if your business keeps accounts, accounting too.

  • WhatsApp Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 13:00 (Ecuador time)

    The person who builds Michinauta answers, from Germany. Messages after 13:00 are answered the next business day.

  • If the error is ours, we refund the month

    Until December 31, 2026: if the SRI rejects an invoice because of a Michinauta error, we fix it and refund that month. It does not cover data typed wrong or SRI outages.

Questions

Can I use Michi Bodega already?

+

Yes, if your store is in Ecuador: create a free account from Start free, or try the demo first. If your store is in another country, join the waitlist and we will tell you when we reach your market.

How does it scan products?

+

With the phone camera or a USB barcode scanner that connects as a keyboard. No special hardware beyond that.

Can I sell by the case and by the unit?

+

Yes, with the same barcode and prices that already include VAT.

What if a customer leaves halfway through?

+

Their account is parked with what you already scanned, and you keep charging the next person. Up to three accounts can wait at once.

Does it work without internet?

+

You still sell: the sale closes offline and stays on the device. When the signal returns it syncs, and the receipt is issued to the SRI then — the receipt needs internet, the sale does not. The register shows the state of each one.

How does it handle returnable containers?

+

They are counted by hand when received and stay on the sale and in that store's container inventory. They are not yet deducted from what the customer pays; that comes next.

Can I charge with Deuna or another digital method?

+

Not yet. There is no payment integration inside the system today: the sale is recorded and invoiced, but the payment itself happens outside, with the method you already use in the store.

Does it issue an electronic invoice?

+

Yes, to the SRI, on the same invoicing engine as the rest of Michinauta.

Can I have more than one store?

+

The Free plan includes 1 store and 1 cashier. Basic includes 2 stores and 4 cashiers. Pro sets no cap on stores or cashiers. Each store keeps its own stock and its own accounts on hold, all from the same account.

Does the price include VAT?

+

The price is in USD. Your bank adds VAT; with your accountant it can come back as a tax credit.

Looking for another line of business? Michi Viajes for travel agencies and Michi Taller for workshops are available too, on the same electronic invoicing core.

What is already published about the ERP?

These three facts describe the product infrastructure and are explained on Security. About says what Michinauta does. There are no client cases or usage figures to show.

  1. Hosted in Switzerland

    ERP data is hosted in Switzerland, on Infomaniak, an independent Swiss provider.

  2. Encrypted connections and credentials

    Traffic uses HTTPS/TLS. The electronic signature (.p12) and sensitive credentials are stored encrypted with a dedicated key. Passwords are stored as hashes, never as plain text.

  3. Daily backups

    The database has daily backups, checked by checksum and copied to Infomaniak Swiss Backup. Remote copies are encrypted before they leave the server.
