A growing mixed list
Start with cement, TMT by size, sand and the fittings that move daily, then add the finishing lines — tiles by the box convertible to area, paint by pack size, plywood by sheet and by area — as the trade demands them. Each needs its own unit set once, and after that a mixed invoice takes no longer than a single-line one.
Drawn into Bangalore's expansion
Mysore's construction has picked up with housing projects on every side and the corridor towards Bangalore filling in. Material dealers around Hebbal Industrial Area, Vijayanagar and out towards Hunsur road serve a mix of local builders and contractors working the larger projects.
Contractors buying across projects
A contractor working two or three sites is one party with several accounts in his own head, and the argument at the end is about which site received what. Recording the site on every delivery means you can produce everything supplied to one address without going through the whole ledger — which is what his own accounts want before releasing payment.
Stock across a growing item list
As a shop takes on finishing lines — tiles, sanitaryware, paint, plywood — alongside cement and steel, the item list grows and the units multiply. Boxes convertible to square feet, litres by pack size, sheets and area, bags and kilos. Holding the unit on the item is what keeps a mixed bill quick and the stock figure meaningful.
Setup in half an hour
A phone call of about thirty minutes covers your details, your main items with the right units, your parties with their opening balances and your bill format. You raise a real bill in the call and add the rest of the list as you sell it.
