Units, packs and loose sale
Buy by the carton or bag and sell by the piece, kilo or foot. Items sold loose can be billed by weight or by rupee amount.
Hardware store POS software in Pakistan: Nails by the kilo, pipes by the foot, paint by the drum.
A hardware store may be the hardest shop to count: every item has a different unit, most customers are contractors on credit, and carriage changes the real cost. Pakrox Universal ERP was built with those units in mind.

The problem
What goes wrong in a hardware store.
These are the things owners tell us about before they change their software. If two of them sound familiar, the rest of this page is for you.
A different unit for everything
Kilos, feet, pieces, cartons and drums, often for the same item at purchase and sale.
Carriage hides the real cost
Freight on heavy goods is paid separately and never reaches the item's cost.
Contractors on running accounts
Material goes out daily on a chit, and the account is settled when the site is paid.
Paint shades and company schemes
Paint companies run schemes and targets that are worth money only if somebody tracks them.
Hardware store POS software features
What Pakrox Universal ERP does for a hardware store.
Every feature below is in Pakrox Universal ERP today. Some are switched on in settings, and a few are add-ons on the monthly plan (all of them are included in the lifetime licence).
Carriage on purchases
Add freight to the cost of the items or book it as an expense, and say whether the supplier billed it or you paid the transporter.
Contractor credit control
Credit limits are checked at the bill. Statements print for a whole route or area in one PDF.
Quotations for sites
Give a builder a written rate list with a validity date and convert it when he orders.
Schemes, trade offers and claims
Record company trade offers and free goods. The claims list shows what each company still owes you.
Shop and godown
Keep cement, pipes and bulk stock in the godown as a separate warehouse, with transfer notes for the driver.

FAQ
Hardware store POS software: common questions.
What hardware store owners ask us before they start. Anything else? Ask us directly.
Can one item be bought in bags and sold in kilos?
Yes. Items have a base unit and pack units, and units like kilo, foot and litre can be sold in parts.
How is freight handled?
On each purchase you choose whether carriage is added to the item cost or recorded as an expense, and whether it increases the supplier's balance.
Can I add delivery charges to a customer's bill?
Yes. Freight or delivery can be added to a sale bill.
Can I limit how much credit a contractor gets?
Yes. Set a credit limit on the customer. A bill that would cross it is refused unless a manager approves it with a PIN.
Does Pakrox Universal ERP need the internet?
No. It is an offline Windows program with its database on your own computer. The internet is used only for licence checks and updates: a lifetime licence keeps working for 30 days without it, a monthly licence for 3 days.
How much does it cost?
After a free 7-day trial there are two ways to pay. Monthly is Rs 2,500 for the shop software with accounting on one computer, with extra features as add-ons at Rs 1,000 a month each. Lifetime is Rs 50,000 once with every feature included, and updates and support are free for the first year, then Rs 8,000 a year.
Is my data safe?
Backups run on a schedule to a USB drive or second disk and can be locked with a password. Every backup is checked before it is kept, and restoring is validated before anything changes.
