A list for a seasonal district
Enter your core lines — cement by brand, TMT by size, sand, gitti, bricks — with correct units and GST rates, and set minimum levels on the ones that actually move. Because demand clusters after the harvest, the movement report is what you will plan from, and it only means something if the units were set up properly at the start.
An agricultural district that keeps building
Bardhaman sits in one of Bengal's most productive agricultural belts, and the building work here follows that income — concentrated after the harvest rather than spread evenly through the year. Material dealers serve a mix of individual house builders, small contractors and shops in the surrounding blocks.
Seasonal stock, seasonal recovery
When both the selling and the settling cluster, two figures decide the year. What actually moved over the same weeks last season, which tells you what to order while you still can. And what is outstanding by age going into the season, which tells you how much more credit you can safely give. Both are reports rather than estimates once the billing is doing the recording.
Many small accounts
A shop here typically carries dozens of modest credit accounts rather than a handful of large ones, and it is the count that defeats a register rather than any single balance. Each party having its own ledger that updates from the billing means nothing is entered twice, and the outstanding screen ranks them so the morning calls go where the risk actually is.
Setup and support
Bardhaman is covered from our Kolkata office. Setup is a phone call of about thirty minutes and you raise a real bill in it. Support afterwards runs in Hindi, English or Bengali, and the Android app keeps billing through the power cuts that are routine in the district.
