DevPOS
> Short answer: Hardware stores need SKU-level stock, supplier khata, and contractor udhaar — not just billing. DevPOS Professional at Rs 1,999/mo handles 10,000+ SKUs, purchase with supplier balances, and mistri/contractor credit accounts, with a 15-day free trial and no card.
Best Hardware Store Software in Pakistan
Hardware ki dokan karyana ki dokan nahi. Yahan 200 qisam ke screw hain, paint ke 40 shade, pipe ke 15 size — aur har cheez ka rate roz badalta hai. Customer mistri hai jo kehta hai "bhai, 2 inch wala pital ka elbow do, wohi jo pichli dafa liya tha" — aur aap ko yaad hona chahiye woh kaun sa tha aur kis rate par diya tha.
Isi liye aam POS hardware store par fail hota hai. Aap ko chahiye aisa software jo hardware ki zubaan samjhe.
Hardware store ki 5 asal zarooratain
- Hazaaron SKUs ka stock: Nut-bolt se lekar sanitary tak — har item ka size, brand, aur godown/dukhan location. "Woh elbow khatam hai? Godown mein 2 dabbe paray hain" — software ko pata hona chahiye.
- Supplier khata: Malik Paints se Rs 85,000 ka maal aaya, Rs 40,000 diye, baqi udhaar. Har supplier ka chalta khata, payment history ke saath. Month-end par "bhai total kitna banta hai?" ka jawab 10 second mein.
- Contractor/mistri udhaar: Yeh aap ki sale ka 40-60% hai. Har thekedar ka khata, uski har site ka hisab alag, aur kab se paisa atka hai — yeh sab se qeemti feature hai.
- Rate ki history: Cement ka rate hafte mein badalta hai. Pichli dafa kis rate par becha tha — software bataye, taake nuksan mein na becho.
- Quotation: Thekedar kehta hai "poori building ka samaan likh do" — 80 item ki quotation banao, phir ek click par sale mein convert.

Kitna kharcha, kitna faida?
Professional tier Rs 1,999/month — roz ke ~Rs 67. Ek hardware store par roz ki sale aasani se Rs 50,000–2 lakh hoti hai (Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi ke markets mein to zyada). Agar software sirf ek bhoola hua contractor payment yaad dila de — jo aksar Rs 20,000–50,000 hota hai — to saal ka kharcha ek din mein wasool.
Aur stock ka faida alag: pata chalta hai kaun sa item 3 mahine se para hai (paisa phansa hua) aur kaun sa har hafte khatam hota hai (order barhao). Yeh "dead stock" ka hisab nikalna hi Rs 1,999 se kahin zyada bachata hai.
Payment manual hai — JazzCash, Easypaisa, bank transfer. Receipt bhejo, approve. 15 din free trial mein poori dokan daal kar dekho, phir faisla karo.
Setup: dariya ko koozay mein
"Meray paas 8,000 items hain" — ghabrao nahi. Fast-moving 500 items pehle daalo (paint, cement, common fittings), billing shuru karo. Baqi dheere dheere — roz 100 item, 2 mahine mein poori dokan. Supplier ke khate opening balance se shuru karo. Thekedaron ke khate unki marzi se — woh khush honge ke unka hisab ab saaf hai, aur aap khush ke paisa yaad rahega.
Hardware store software in Pakistan par poori feature list hai. Pricing dekho aur trial shuru karo — dokan band karte waqt wali tension khatam.
Frequently asked questions
Kya 10,000 items par software slow nahi hoga?
Nahi. DevPOS bara catalog handle karne ke liye bana hai — search 1 second mein result deta hai. Generic saste POS is par atakte hain; yeh nahi atakta.
Rate roz badalta hai — purane rate par bechne se kaise bachun?
Har item ki rate history record hoti hai. Purchase ka naya rate aate hi cost update, aur sale par aap ko pata chalta hai margin kitna hai. Ghalti se nuksan mein bechna band.
Thekedar ka hisab site-wise alag rakh sakta hoon?
Haan. Ek contractor ke neeche multiple projects/sites — har site ka samaan aur payment alag track. Jab woh kahe "DHA wali site ka hisab do", to print nikal do.
Supplier ko payment di, uska record?
Har supplier ka khata: purchase, payment, balance. "Bhai mera kitna banta hai?" — screen dikhao, behas khatam.
Kya main rates chhupa sakta hoon staff se?
Haan. Roles bane hue hain — larka billing kar sakta hai lekin purchase rate nahi dekh sakta. Yeh hardware stores ke liye bohat zaroori feature hai.
Quotation ka kya faida? Zabani bata deta hoon.
Zabani rate bhool jata hai, likha hua rehta hai. 80-item ki quotation professional lagti hai, thekedar impress hota hai, aur jab woh "haan" kahe to ek click par sale — dobara likhna nahi parta.
