Build a convenience store management system
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe your store’s back office — vendor deliveries, invoice checks, expiry pulls, shelf tags, shift logs, and pantry boxes — and it builds it.
Just enter your idea into the text box and AI will build it for you
What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a retail software package with fixed modules — it’s an AI that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in plain words, and Kliv builds it: the data, the workflow, the screens, and the rules. What you get is a real web app that’s yours, available on your own domain for staff and customers where needed, and you can change it later by asking. It isn’t a template.
On this page, that app is a back-office system for a convenience store, with an optional online subscription product running on your own Stripe account. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one example.
Why the back office matters
A small store holds too much operational memory in one person’s head: which vendor shorted the last order, which cooler shelf has today’s pull dates, and whether a price still protects margin after a distributor increase. That memory does not scale and does not take a day off.
Kliv builds the back office around how your store actually runs. Vendors, cases, pull dates, shift logs, shelf tags, and pantry-box subscriptions become records with rules. The register out front can stay where it is.
The store, row by row
Five records replace the notebook.
The item and shelf tag
SKU, case size, cost, margin, and current price live in one row. The shelf tag prints from that row, so a price change happens once.
The vendor and invoice
The system records what was ordered, what arrived, and what was credited. Each vendor has a history you can reference.
The pull-date sweep
Every dated item has a pull date. Each morning starts with a list of what to pull instead of a cooler-by-cooler search.
The shift log
Who opened, what happened, and walk-in temperature checks are timestamped records, ready for inspection or follow-up.
The pantry box
A weekly $28 staples box can run as a subscription: member list, weekly contents, billing, and a packing-day pick list.
An example: Nadia’s neighborhood store
Here’s how one store might use a management app built with Kliv. It’s only an example — you would describe your own vendors, stock rules, logs, and subscriptions.
The next order starts from stock levels
The order is built from recent sales and items below reorder point, not from Nadia walking the aisles with a legal pad.
Short deliveries are logged immediately
After the truck leaves, the app compares the invoice with what was received. Two short cases of sparkling water become a credit request against that vendor.
Pull dates become a daily list
The morning sweep says nine items hit pull date today. Yogurt moves to the discount basket, and the write-off is recorded.
A cost change updates the shelf tag
The distributor raises kombucha cost. Margin recalculates, the new price is saved, and a fresh shelf tag prints.
The pantry boxes run on schedule
On Friday, thirty-one $28 pantry boxes generate one pick list, and subscriptions bill on their own schedule.
Describe the store operations you need
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include vendors, items, prices, pull dates, roles, logs, and any online subscriptions. Here are three examples:
Corner store back office
Vendors, margins, pull dates, and shift logs.
“Build a back-office app for my convenience store. Track 12 vendors, delivery check-in against invoices, reorder points by SKU, expiry pull lists every morning, shelf-tag printing from cost and margin, and shift logs with walk-in temperature checks.”
Snack box subscriptions
Weekly office boxes and tax IDs.
“Build a snack-box subscription service for my store. Offices should subscribe to weekly $45 boxes, add their tax ID to invoices, choose delivery or pickup, and packing day should generate one combined pick list.”
Neighborhood pantry boxes
Weekly staples with pause and resume.
“Build a weekly pantry-box subscription for my grocery. Charge $28 per week, publish box contents every Monday, let members pause or resume from their account page, and offer pickup or local delivery at checkout.”
Stocked underneath
Inventory can check invoices. Items, cases, costs, and counts are rows in the store’s database, so vendor credits and reorder points are queries instead of arguments.
A subscription can run beside the store. The pantry box runs through checkout on the store’s own Stripe account. Members pause for vacations, billing pauses with them, and office snack boxes can include tax IDs on invoices. Failed cards retry and send reminder emails.
Roles match the roster. Weekend clerks can see the shift log and pull list. Costs, margins, and vendor terms can stay with the owner account.
The weekly summary sends itself. A scheduled job emails open vendor credits, items expiring in the next five days, and the box count for Friday.
The pantry box is the store selling directly to repeat customers. The direct-to-consumer solutions page covers the broader pattern.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI that builds custom web apps from a description. For a convenience store, it can build the back-office records, workflows, staff views, and subscription checkout you describe.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. It is built around your vendors, items, prices, pull dates, staff roles, and subscription products.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. Ask for new fields, reports, subscriptions, or staff roles, and Kliv updates the app.
Does this replace my register?
No. Kliv does not handle card-present payments, so the till out front stays. The app runs stock, vendors, tags, logs, and online pantry-box subscriptions.
Can staff use it without seeing costs and margins?
Yes. Roles can limit clerks to pull lists and shift logs while keeping costs, margins, and vendor terms with the owner account.
What happens when a box subscriber goes on vacation?
They can pause from their account page. Billing skips with the box and resumes when they do.
Will the temperature log satisfy an inspection?
It is a timestamped record of who checked what and when, exportable when asked. Whether it satisfies a specific inspector depends on local requirements.
Does Kliv take a cut of pantry-box payments?
No. Online payments run on your own Stripe account. Card processing fees are between you and Stripe.
Do pantry-box customers need Stripe accounts?
No. Customers pay by card; the Stripe account is yours.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Staff screens and customer subscription pages can run on your own domain.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, and your records can be exported.
Can shelf tags print from the app?
Yes. The source page includes shelf-tag printing from item cost, margin, and current price.
