Happy POS for Hardware Shop
Kilos, metres and pieces — with contractor credit and quotations built in.
Hardware retail runs on units other shops never see — cement by the bag, cable by the metre, nails by the kilo — and on contractors who buy weekly and settle monthly. Happy POS handles bulk units and pack sizes natively, keeps a clean running credit account for every contractor, and turns the 'give me a quotation first' conversation into a printed document in minutes.
How your day runs
From opening the shutter to counting the drawer — here's what running a hardware shop on Happy POS actually looks like.
Open with the accounts in view
See outstanding contractor balances and low-stock items at a glance before the first lorry pulls up.
Quote, sell, deliver
Print quotations for the big jobs, bill walk-ins by kilo or piece, and send bulk orders out with delivery notes.
Settle and restock
Record contractor settlements against their accounts and raise supplier purchases for whatever the shelves need.
Day-end without a ledger
Cash, credit sales and settlements all reconcile in one report — the notebook stays in the drawer.
Built for the way a hardware shop works
Not a generic feature list — this is what Happy POS does in a shop like yours, explained properly.
Pack sizes & bulk units
Sell by the kilo, the metre, the piece or the pack — the same product can be stocked in bulk and sold in the unit the customer asks for, with prices and stock counts that stay consistent either way.
Contractor credit accounts
Your regular contractors buy on account. Every delivery adds to their running balance, every settlement is recorded against it, and one screen shows you exactly who owes what — no ledger book, no arguments.
Quotations before the sale
Big jobs start with a quotation. Build one from your live catalogue with real prices, print or share it, and convert it to a sale when the contractor says yes — without retyping a single line.
Supplier reordering
Cement, fittings and fasteners come from a dozen suppliers. Purchase history per supplier, costs per delivery and low-stock alerts make reordering a five-minute job instead of a walk through the store with a notepad.
Delivery notes for heavy items
Bulky orders go out on your vehicle with a delivery note listing exactly what left the store. What is billed, what is loaded and what arrives on site all match.
Barcode labels for fast movers
Label the fast-moving shelf items so the counter scans instead of searching, while loose bulk goods stay quick-key items — the right speed for each kind of stock.
Everything else your hardware shop gets
The core capabilities of the Umigs suite that matter most for your trade — included, not extra.
