Hardware store software for nails by the kilo and wire by the metre
A hardware shop sells screws by weight, pipe and wire by length and fittings by the piece, often to contractors who pay when the job is done. Dukaan POS puts all three on one bill and keeps the credit straight.
Each product has its own unit: piece, kilogram, gram, metre, litre, dozen or pack. Type 2.5 for two and a half metres of wire or 0.75 for three quarters of a kilo of nails, and the line is priced for you.

Barcode labels for loose items
Taps, fittings and tools often come without a barcode. Give such a product a barcode of its own in a tap, then print price labels on a label printer, so the counter scans instead of searching.

Udhaar for contractors and regulars
A bill on credit goes straight to the customer’s statement, with a credit limit, part payments and the day they promised to pay. Send the statement on WhatsApp when the job is finished.

Purchases from suppliers
Type the supplier’s bill as it reads, in packs, with free pieces, discount and freight, and every piece is costed. Stock goes up, what you owe is kept, and faulty goods can go back to the supplier.
