Dukaan POS
Dukaan POS has no delivery, vehicle or site tracking, no quotations and no unit for length or area, so sand by the truck or tiles by the square foot will not fit. It suits a yard that sells bags, bars by weight and pieces over a counter and needs strong contractor credit records.
1Bags, kilograms and pieces
Cement sells by the bag, steel bars by the kilogram or the piece, bricks by the piece or the thousand as a package. Set the base unit that you count in and add packages for the way you buy. Stock converts consistently, so a delivery of 400 bags and a sale of 35 leave the right balance.
Contractor balances
Example dues
2Contractor accounts
Large balances are the heart of this trade. Each contractor has a page with every bill and payment, due dates and the current balance. Record advances when they arrive and part payments as they come, so a contractor who disputes a figure can be shown the exact list.
A good fit
- Cement, steel and bricks at the counter
- Large contractor credit
- Price changes to track
Not a fit
- Delivery trucks and routes
- Sales by length or area
- Site-wise projects
3Prices that move
Cement and steel prices change often. Update the selling price when you receive a delivery at a new cost; the next bill uses it and the profit report reflects your actual purchase cost. That prevents the quiet loss of selling at yesterday's price for a week.

4Supplier credit
Mills and dealers supply on credit with strict dates. Record each delivery with bill numbers and the quantity in bags or kilograms, and keep the pay-by date visible. Paying on time often decides who gets scarce stock first, and your records make that easy.
5Honest limits on logistics
Deliveries are common in this trade, but Dukaan POS does not plan routes or record which truck took what. Many owners keep delivery notes on paper and use the app for billing, stock and credit. If delivery scheduling is your biggest problem, this is the wrong tool.
6Reports for the yard
Stock valuation shows how much cash is in cement and steel, and customer dues show how much you are owed. Read both weekly. In a trade where a single contractor can owe millions, the two reports together tell you if you are carrying too much credit.
7A worked example
A contractor buys 60 bags of cement at Rs 1,350 and 800 kg of steel at Rs 270 a kilo, pays Rs 150,000 and takes the rest on credit. The bill is Rs 297,000, so Rs 147,000 goes on his page with a due date. Stock drops by 60 bags and 800 kg. Next week he pays Rs 100,000, the balance becomes Rs 47,000, and you can show him every line if he asks.
8Keeping credit under control
Yards run into trouble when a few contractors owe too much. Check the dues list every Monday, note anyone above your comfort limit and ask for a payment before the next large order. Because the balance sits on screen when you bill, you decide on credit with the real number in front of you, not a memory of it.
