Before and after

What slows hardware stores down, and how Tryso fixes it

  1. The problem

    Odd units

    Cable by the metre, cement by the bag and screws by the box.

    With Tryso

    Units and conversions let you buy in rolls and boxes and sell by the metre or the piece.

  2. The problem

    Trade customers

    Contractors buy on account at their own prices.

    With Tryso

    Customer groups carry their own prices, and account sales post to receivables.

  3. The problem

    Thousands of small items

    Staff waste time looking for the right box on the right shelf.

    With Tryso

    Warehouse bins record exactly where each item is kept.

Software for hardware stores

Apps

The apps hardware stores switch on

Start with the ones you need today and add the rest as you grow.

  • Point of sale

    Sell at the counter with registers, receipts and cash sessions.

  • Sales

    Orders, quotations, invoices, discounts and customers.

  • Products

    Products, variants, categories, brands and units in one place.

  • Inventory

    Warehouses, stock levels, transfers, counts and reorder rules.

  • Warehouse

    Zones, racks and bins, with stock located to the bin.

  • Accounting

    Chart of accounts, receivables, payables, banking and journals.

Every app shares one database, and each is switched on from Settings → Apps when you need it.

Reporting

Numbers hardware stores keep an eye on

Reports are built from the documents your team already records, so every figure can be traced back to the sale, receipt or payment behind it.

  • Trade account sales
  • Stock value
  • Margin by category
  • Outstanding receivables

Frequently asked questions

Can contractors get their own prices?

Yes. Customer groups can be priced against, so trade customers see their own rates.

Can I sell cable by the metre?

Yes. Units and conversions let you buy a roll and sell it by the metre.
