Retail & General Trading
ERP software built for building materials.
A trade-focused retailer/distributor of bulk construction inputs — cement, steel/rebar, sand, aggregates, blocks, timber, pipes.
How it works
The business model
Sells physical stock in bulk units of measure (ton, cubic meter, bag, bundle, length) to trade/contractor accounts and walk-in retail buyers. Margin is thin and volume-driven; credit terms and delivery logistics matter more than storefront presentation. No POS counter is typical (B2B invoicing dominates), though a small retail counter may exist.
