## Who it’s for

- Steel, cement and brick stores
- Ceramics and sanitary-ware showrooms
- Electrical and paint shops
- Wholesale building materials distributors

## Problems it solves

- Steel and cement prices move and old invoices carry wrong prices
- Large contractor debts mixed across their projects
- Site deliveries without proof of receipt
- Unclear real yard balance of sand, gravel and bricks

## Modules

- **Multiple units**: Ton, bag, piece, square metre and bundle, with conversions.
- **Price updates**: Fast bulk price updates, with price history kept.
- **Quotations**: Time-limited contractor quotes that convert to invoices.
- **Site delivery**: Loading orders, driver, map location and receipt proof by photo or signature.
- **Account per project**: One contractor, one account per project, each with its own statement.
- **Yard stock**: Material balances in the yard and stores, with periodic counts.

## How does it manage contractor credit?

**Each contractor has a main account with a sub-account per project, so you know each project’s balance, set credit limits and send monthly per-project statements.**

- Alert before invoicing beyond the credit limit
- Every delivery tied to its project
- Ageing report per contractor

## How are volatile prices handled?

**Prices lock when an invoice or quote is issued; updates affect new invoices only, with a full history of each item’s price changes.**

## Can deliveries be tracked?

**Yes. Each delivery has a driver, location and status, and the receiver confirms by photo or signature on the driver’s phone, ending “it never arrived” disputes.**

## Frequently asked questions

### Does it support dollar sales?

Yes. Steel and imports are often in dollars; both currencies are supported with the rate.

### Can invoices carry the store logo?

Yes. Invoices and quotes in your design, thermal or A4.

### Does it support several branches and yards?

Yes, with transfers and unified reports.

### Does it track drivers and fees?

Yes: deliveries per driver, fees and fuel costs.

### Does it work with construction software?

Yes. If the contractor uses our construction system, invoices flow straight into project costs.

### How long to go live?

A single store usually starts within days after loading items, balances and current contractor debts.
