Manage thousands of items — by the metre and by the kilo

Multiple units of measure, mixed wholesale and retail selling, and fast replenishment in one system.

Hardware Store

The hard part of a hardware store is the sheer item count and the tangle of units: cable by the metre, nails by the kilo, screws by the piece — and the same item goes out at both retail and trade prices. A spreadsheet cannot carry that. Coflow Bulut holds thousands of items in one catalogue, each in the right unit.

Catalogue & Units

Metres, kilos, pieces — all in one catalogue

Sales and stock units are defined separately for every item, so you can buy by the box and sell by the piece. The system handles the conversion, and stock always shows in the right unit.

  • Multiple units with automatic conversion (box/piece, kg, metre)
  • Fast search and barcodes for thousands of SKUs
  • Equivalent product and alternative brand suggestions
  • Find items fast with bin locations
Metres, kilos, pieces — all in one catalogue
Wholesale & Retail

Same item, different price for different customers

Separate price lists are defined for tradespeople, contractors and end customers. Pick the customer at the till and the right price appears; account customers can buy on credit with their balance tracked.

  • Price lists by customer group
  • Credit sales and balance tracking
  • Volume-tiered discounts
  • Alert when a customer exceeds their limit

Replenishment

Fast movers never run out, slow movers never tie up cash

A minimum stock rule is set for every item, and a purchase request opens by itself when the level drops. The turnover report shows which items are tying up your capital.

  • Automatic ordering on min-max stock rules
  • Supplier price lists and lead times
  • Turnover and dead stock report
  • Stocktake and adjustment flow

We buy and sell cable by the metre but order it by the box. This is the first system that got that right.

Frequently asked questions

Can we sell cable by the metre and nails by the kilo?
Yes. Sales and stock units of measure are defined separately per product and the system converts automatically. You can buy by the box and sell by the piece or by the metre.
Can we quote a different price to tradespeople and end customers?
Yes. Price lists are defined by customer group; when the customer is selected at the till the correct price and discount apply automatically. Quantity-based tiered discounts are supported too.
Is there credit selling and account balance tracking?
Yes. Customers with an open account can buy on credit, with balance and due dates tracked. Sales warns when the risk limit is exceeded; ageing reports and automatic payment reminders are available.
