Software for Hardware
Very high SKU count across sizes and grades, serving both counter customers and trade credit accounts.
A hardware business carries thousands of items that differ only by size, thread or grade, most of them low value individually. Trade customers buy on credit and expect a different price from walk-in customers. Finding the right item quickly is the operational challenge; collecting from trade accounts is the financial one.
What gets in the way
- Thousands of near-identical SKUs differing only by size or grade
- Trade and counter pricing differ on the same items
- Trade credit accumulates and ages without systematic follow-up
- Small-value items are pilfered without detection
- Physical stock counting is impractical at full scope
What the software handles
- Size and grade level catalogue with fast lookup
- Separate price lists for counter, trade and project customers
- Trade credit with limits and ageing
- Category-wise cycle counting instead of full stock-take
- Reorder based on movement rather than shelf appearance
What changes
- Correct size and grade located quickly at the counter
- Trade receivables aged and chased systematically
- Slow stock identified in a catalogue too large to eyeball
