Electrical and plumbing store management software
Cable is held in metres, and a roll is a unit of 100 metres at a lower price. An electrician takes a roll of one size and 35 metres of another; each comes off its own balance in metres at its own price.
Cable by the roll and by the metre
Cable is an item with fractions in metres, and the roll is a unit with factor 100 at a lower price per metre. Both sell from the same balance.
Tradesmen buy now and settle at the end of the job
Electricians and plumbers are wholesale customers with credit limits, and their invoices build up on a statement until they settle.
Contractors want a quote
A quote with quantities and prices becomes an invoice in one click once accepted, and open quotes stay on your list.
Example: an electrician's order for a flat
The figures follow exactly how the system calculates.
- 2 mm cable: EGP 14 a metre or EGP 1,250 for a 100 m roll. 3 mm cable: EGP 21 a metre.
- The electrician takes a roll of 2 mm and 35 m of 3 mm: 1,250 + 735 = EGP 1,985. The first balance falls by 100 m, the second by 35 m.
- Plus 20 switches at EGP 45 = EGP 900, for a EGP 2,885 invoice on his account.
- At month end he pays EGP 2,000 by Vodafone Cash, leaving EGP 885 on his statement.
