A list for house construction
Enter cement, TMT by size, sand and the fittings that move daily, then add plywood by sheet and area, tiles by the box, sanitaryware by model and paint by pack size as the finishing trade demands them. Each needs its unit set once. The party list is long here because the customers are many and small, and entering opening balances is the step that changes the day.
Individual house construction, many small accounts
Kerala builds houses rather than townships, and that produces an unusual pattern for a supplier: many small parties, each buying over eight or ten months as the house goes up, most of them on partial credit. The count of open ledgers a Kochi dealer carries is far higher than a contractor-led market, and that is what defeats a register rather than any single balance.
Following one build from start to finish
A homeowner comes back for foundation material, then structure, then finishing, and each visit adds to the same account. Being able to open that party and see the whole build in order — what was taken, when, what was paid — turns a vague running total into something both sides agree on, and makes the final settlement short rather than fraught.
Plywood, tiles and the finishing trades
Kochi shops often carry plywood from the Perumbavoor cluster, tiles, sanitaryware and paint alongside cement and steel. Sheets and square feet, boxes and area, litres by pack size, bags and kilos — holding the unit and conversion on each item is what keeps a mixed invoice quick and the stock figure meaningful.
Setup and languages
The setup session runs about thirty minutes over a call and screen share. The interface and support run in English and Hindi, and the printed invoice carries your shop name and address exactly as you enter them, so you can put Malayalam text on the document itself.
