The problems every hardware owner knows
These are the six problems we hear from hardware store owners every week — and how Mellotek solves each one.
Every credit sale is recorded digitally with the customer's name, phone, items, and amount. Send a WhatsApp reminder to any customer with one tap — the message is prefilled with their balance. Full payment history — no more "I paid you last week" arguments.
Open a running tab for every customer who buys on account. See their balance, their full purchase history, and their payment schedule in one click. Ring them up in 10 seconds because you already have their account open.
Sell in any unit: kg, metres, pieces, litres, rolls, bags, dozens. Fractional quantities supported. The receipt shows exactly what was sold and at what rate.
Every purchase order is recorded with supplier, items, price, and date. See your purchase history by product or by supplier — perfect for negotiating a better price next time.
Separate reports per branch. See revenue, margin, and top sellers for each location side by side. Know which shop is carrying the business and which one is dragging.
Manage every branch from one dashboard. Transfer stock between branches with a full audit trail. See which branch sells what — and which one is losing money.
Everything you need
Not a generic retail POS with a "hardware mode" checkbox. Every feature below was designed for hardware shops, building suppliers, and construction material traders.
Every credit sale tracked with customer name, phone, items, and due date. Send a WhatsApp reminder with one tap.
Running tab per customer — balance, full purchase and payment history. Ring up regulars in seconds.
Sell by kg, metre, litre, bag, piece, or any custom unit. 3.5kg of nails? No problem.
Every PO recorded with supplier, items, price, and date. Negotiate better next time.
Stock updates the moment a sale completes. Reorder alerts per branch. No more stocktake surprises.
Native M-Pesa — Send Money, Till, or Paybill. Split cash + M-Pesa on the same sale.
See margin per product. Know which items actually make you money and which are dead stock.
Send quotations and invoices as PDFs straight to a customer's WhatsApp. Branded with your logo.
Cash + M-Pesa on the same sale. Amounts auto-balance to the total.
