Does it keep contractor accounts?

Yes. Every contractor is a party with a running ledger, so credit sales and outstanding dues are tracked clearly and settlements are easy to reconcile.

How does it handle bulk buying?

Each supplier load is entered as a GST purchase that replenishes stock and captures input tax per line, so your credit and dues stay accurate as volumes grow.

Can it manage thousands of small parts?

Yes. RetailDek tracks live stock across a large catalogue and supports bulk Excel import, so a wide range of fasteners, fittings and tools is manageable from day one.

Can I bill sariya or TMT bars by weight?

Yes. Set the item to sell in kilograms or quintals and bill the actual weight, decimals included; the GST split, HSN and round-off follow on their own. Keep each diameter as its own item — 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm — and you can see which size is running low without walking the yard.

Does it suit a cement dealer selling to contractors on credit?

Yes. Each supplier load comes in as a GST purchase that replenishes stock and records input tax against that supplier, and contractors who take bags now and settle later are billed on account against a running party ledger. Open a contractor at any time and the outstanding is right there, with every bill behind it.

Hardware & Building

The daily grind

Challenges in hardware & building

The everyday problems this trade knows too well.

Same item, many units

Cement by the bag, wire by the metre, bolts by the box or piece — one product sold in several units breaks a simple billing sheet.

Bulk buying, messy input tax

You buy heavy from many suppliers on credit. Tracking what you owe and the input tax on each load quickly gets out of hand.

Contractors buy on account

Regular contractors take goods now and settle later. Without a running ledger, dues slip and awkward conversations follow.

Thousands of small-value parts

A hardware shop stocks a vast range of fasteners, fittings and tools. Knowing what is running low is impossible from memory.

How RetailDek fits

The real features that solve the way hardware & building actually work.

Multi-unit items priced right

Set the unit each item sells in and bill accordingly, so cement bags, wire metres and boxed fasteners all invoice correctly.

Bulk purchases that track input tax

Enter each supplier load as a GST purchase; stock replenishes and CGST/SGST/IGST input tax is captured per line for clean credit.

Party ledgers for contractors

Every contractor and supplier is a party with a running account, so credit sales and outstanding dues are always clear.

Live stock on a huge catalogue

Track live quantity across thousands of parts and import the whole list from Excel, so low stock surfaces before you run dry.

GST invoicing with round-off

Correct HSN codes and tax splits apply automatically with round-off, so mixed hardware bills stay compliant and tidy.
