POS for hardware shops in Tanzania
Hardware stores in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza and Dodoma sell thousands of items in odd units — nails by the kilo, wire by the metre, cement by the bag. Sell in fractions so stock comes down by exactly what was taken, give builders and contractors credit with a limit, and send statements. Quotes for building jobs become sales in one tap.
- ✓Sell by piece, kg, metre, bag or litre
- ✓Contractor credit and statements
- ✓Retail and wholesale prices
- ✓Quotes that become sales
- ✓Import your price list
