What a hardware store needs.

Heavy items, paint in many colours, and contractors who want a proper invoice. Stock comes in big deliveries and must be counted right.

Thousands of items, found fast

Search by name, code or barcode. Each item has its picture, price and stock on one screen.

Paint and colours

Each colour and size of paint is its own item, with its own stock and price.

Big deliveries

Record a delivery of cement or pipes in one go. The stock goes up, and the cost you paid is saved.

Right GST on each item

Cement is 28%, paint and tools 18%. Each item keeps its own rate, and the bill shows the split.

Tax invoice for contractors

Print a full tax invoice with the contractor’s GSTIN, for big bills and site orders.

Credit for regular contractors

Keep a running account for regular contractors and see what they owe.
