A hardware store sells wire by the metre, pipe by the foot and fittings by the piece, often to contractors on credit. Hundreds of small items make counting stock a big job.
What is in the Hardware / electric list
This is the starting list Munshi adds when you choose Hardware / electric: 42 items in 6 sections, each with its Urdu and English name and the right unit. Prices are left for you, because they differ from city to city.
| Section | Examples | Items |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical | Wire, Switch, Socket, LED Bulb, Tube Light | 10 |
| Plumbing | PVC Pipe, Tap (Tonti), Shower, Valve, Elbow | 8 |
| Tools | Hammer, Screwdriver, Plier, Wrench, Drill Machine | 7 |
| Nails & Screws | Nails (Keel), Screws, Nut Bolt, Rawl Plug, Hinges | 6 |
| Paint | Paint, Distemper, Paint Brush, Paint Roller, Thinner | 7 |
| Construction | Cement, Sand (Rait), Steel Bar (Sariya), Brick | 4 |
You can rename, delete or add items at any time, and add a second list if you sell more than one kind of goods.
Tips for this kind of shop
- Sell wire by the metre and pipe by the foot, as customers ask.
- Give contractors their own khata and send statements before payment day.
- Count your top items monthly instead of the whole shop once a year.
