Software for hardware shops in Kenya
Hardware stores quote, sell on account to contractors and sell by the piece, the metre and the kilo. BlueDuka handles all of it, with M-Pesa at the counter.

- Reminders on WhatsApp or SMS, and M-Pesa payments put against what is owed
Stock that matches the yard

- Stock for each branch or yard, with transfers between them on Premium
Questions
Can I give a contractor a quotation?
Yes. Make a quotation and send it on WhatsApp. When they agree, it becomes a sale in one tap.
Can I sell cement by the bag and wire by the metre?
Yes. Each product has its own unit: piece, kilogram, litre or metre.
Can contractors pay later?
Yes. Sell on their account with a credit limit; BlueDuka shows what each one owes and for how long, and sends reminders.
