Run every yard from one catalogue.
Unified SKU master across branches, inter-branch stock transfers with paired journals, central reports and credit control.
Stop writing quotes on carbon paper. Stop losing tools.
Every handwritten quote is a quote that never got followed up. Every missing drill is a week's margin gone. Move off paper in one afternoon.
One loop for every contractor job.
From the first enquiry to the final invoice — tracked, priced, and accountable at every step.
Your daily reality — solved.
Four things that eat a hardware store's margin.
Decisions that separate a hardware store from a hardware museum.
Which contractors to chase, which tools to clear, which reps are closing — all from the till data you already have.
Before AI. Before dashboards. Before reports. Start with the truth.
Every action at the till is captured, signed, timestamped and store-scoped. Nothing below is estimated — it is drawn from the ledger your cashiers actually run on.

Hardware store FAQ
Can I run both walk-in sales and contractor quotes on one till?
Yes. Walk-in is a standard POS sale. A quote is a separate document — same till, same catalogue, same customer master. A quote converts to an order in one click when the contractor is ready.
Do you support contractor pricing tiers?
Yes. Walk-in price, contractor price, VIP price — assign to a customer or customer group. The correct price applies automatically at the till.
Can I track serial numbers on power tools?
Yes. Capture the serial at receiving. Sale receipt prints the serial. Warranty lookup by serial works in one search.
How do credit accounts work?
Park a sale on a customer account. Settle at month-end. Account statements, ageing reports and credit-limit enforcement are built in.
Can I run partial deliveries?
Yes. One order can have multiple deliveries. Each delivery prints a delivery note. The order closes when all lines are delivered.
What hardware do I need?
A Posterita-certified Android till, a barcode scanner and an 80mm thermal printer. Add a label printer for shelf tags. Delivered and installed locally.
