Hardware store inventory is complicated because products are measured in different units. Cement comes in bags, iron sheets by piece, pipes by meter or foot, paint in liters, and nails by kilogram. A system that can only track one unit type will give you inaccurate stock counts.
BiznessBook supports multiple units of measure per product category. When you set up a product, you define its primary unit — bag for cement, meter for pipe, liter for paint. Stock intake and sales use these units, so your inventory counts are always accurate. You can also set up conversion rates if needed, such as 1 bag equals 50 kilograms.
The POS system respects unit types during checkout. If a contractor buys 10 bags of cement and 15 meters of pipe, BiznessBook records each in its correct unit and updates stock accordingly. Reporting shows quantities in their natural units. With flexible unit tracking, BiznessBook adapts to how hardware stores actually operate.
