Retail price, contractor price, one counter.

Thousands of small parts, two price tiers, and customers who buy on account.

What makes this shop different

  • Contractors buy at a different rate from walk-in customers
  • Items sell loose by piece and by weight, and also by the box
  • Contractors run monthly accounts and need proper GST invoices
  • Hundreds of near-identical parts are hard to find at the counter

A hardware shop has two customers standing in the same queue. The walk-in buying four screws pays retail; the contractor buying a carton every week does not. Software with one price per product forces someone to do the discount in their head, every time.

Bazaar IQ carries a wholesale rate alongside the retail price, so the contractor rate is applied at the counter rather than remembered.

Units that match how it is stocked

Screws by the piece, cement by weight, tiles by the box. Each product has its own unit and an optional conversion factor, so buying a box and selling ten pieces stays consistent in stock.

Contractor accounts, kept straight

Monthly accounts are the norm here, and they are the most common place a hardware shop loses money. Khata gives each contractor a running balance you can drill into bill by bill — so a disputed figure is settled in seconds instead of defended from a diary.

Proper GST invoices

Contractors need tax invoices to claim input credit. HSN summary, CGST/SGST split and shop address print on the bill when you switch tax invoicing on.

Suppliers and payables

Purchases, suppliers and outstanding payables live alongside the stock they created, so what you owe and what you are holding are one picture rather than two books.
