Goods sold by piece, weight, length and litre, to contractors who buy on credit. Keep units right and balances visible.
Every item sells in a different unit

- Prices vary between retail walk-ins and trade buyers

What BillKr does for hardware & paint
Every capability below is in the product today — nothing here is on a roadmap.
A unit on every item
Each item carries its own unit, so pieces, kilograms, metres and litres all bill correctly from the same catalogue.
Contractor accounts with ageing
Trade customers get a running ledger, so you know who is behind and by how long before it becomes a problem.
Estimates before the sale
Quote a contractor with an estimate, then convert the confirmed work into a tax invoice.
Small suppliers still recorded
Purchase bills against each vendor keep input credit claimable even when suppliers are many and individually small.

Hardware & Paint: common questions
Can I sell the same catalogue in different units?+
Yes. The unit is a property of the item, so one catalogue can mix pieces, weight, length and volume and each bills correctly.
Can I give a quote before billing?+
Yes. Raise an estimate for the enquiry, then issue the tax invoice once the work is confirmed.
How do I keep track of contractor dues?+
Each contractor is a customer with a ledger showing what they bought, what they paid and what is outstanding.
