POS for Kenyan hardware shops
A hardware in Kenya sells thousands of items in odd units: 2.5 kg of nails, 12 metres of wire, a bag of cement, a length of timber or a single tile. Afritelligence sells in fractions, so the till charges exactly what was taken and stock comes down by the right amount.
Fundis and contractors buy on credit and pay at the end of the job. Give each a credit limit, record every collection on their account, and send a statement on WhatsApp. Switch a sale to wholesale prices for contractors buying in bulk.

- ✓Credit accounts and statements for fundis and contractors
- ✓Retail and wholesale prices on the same item
