Built for hardware shops and building suppliers
Software for hardware shops and building suppliers
Hardware is sold in every unit there is: nails by the kilo, cable by the metre, cement by the bag, tiles by the box. Contractors buy on account at their own prices, and the yard is too big to count from memory. Owwel handles the units and the accounts as they really are.
What usually goes wrong in hardware shops and building suppliers
These are the gaps that quietly cost money every month. Each one has a direct answer below.
Items sold by the metre or kilo do not fit a simple piece count
Contractors expect their own prices and buy on account
Accounts are disputed because there is no clear statement
Stock in the yard and the store is never counted together
How Owwel handles it
Sell in the unit it comes in
Each product has its unit: piece, metre, kilo, litre, roll, box or pack, and quantities can be fractions, so half a metre of cable is recorded as exactly that.
Contractor prices built in
Every product carries a retail and a wholesale price. Switch the sale for a contractor and the whole order uses their price.
Accounts with a statement
Credit sales build a running balance per customer, part payments are applied to invoices, and a PDF statement settles any dispute.
One count for the whole site
Run a stock check across store and yard with several people counting at once from their phones, then adjust everything in one step.
