Accounting & POS software for hardware stores in South Africa

Screws, pipe fittings, timber, paint, cement — hardware stores carry huge, fast-moving ranges. Without live counts you oversell popular lines and let slow stock tie up cash on the shelf.

Contractors buying in bulk and walk-in DIY customers both want to pay fast. A sluggish till with no barcode lookup or quick account sales costs you sales on busy Saturdays.

Cash sales, 30-day trade accounts, supplier invoices and VAT all need reconciling. Doing it in spreadsheets after hours is slow and easy to get wrong before a VAT201 is due.

High-volume small items walk out the door, and manually re-pricing when supplier costs move is error-prone. You often only spot the gap months later at stock-take.

Every sale, return and delivery updates inventory in real time. Set reorder points on fast movers like cement and fixings so you restock before you run out, and see exactly what cash is sitting in slow stock.

Scan barcodes, search by name, apply trade discounts and take split payments in seconds. Ring up a cash DIY sale or put a contractor's order on account without leaving the screen.

Sales, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with VAT tracked on every line so your figures line up with your VAT201. Scan supplier invoices and receipts and let AI categorise them for you.

Update cost and sell prices in one place, watch margins per product, and use reports plus loss-prevention alerts to catch discrepancies early — not at year-end stock-take.
