Hardware Store
Hardware Store: barcode sales and POS, stock and warehouse, customer accounts and e-Invoice.
Challenges
- There are tens of thousands of small parts, most without a barcode, so searching at the till takes forever.
- The same item sells by piece, by kilo and by metre, and the unit conversion is done by hand.
- Cable, chain and rope are cut to length, but the offcut never goes back into stock.
- Tradespeople buy on credit, the debt sits in a notebook and the exposure is invisible.
Workflows
Multi-unit selling
- The item is set up with piece, kilogram and metre units.
- When cut, the metres sold are deducted and the offcut stays in stock.
- For items without a barcode, quick search runs by shelf code or by name.
Tradesperson and contractor credit
- A tradesperson account and its risk limit are set up.
- The sale is posted to the account as credit.
- A consolidated invoice is issued at period end and collection is tracked.
