1Parts by piece and by box
Switches, sockets, holders and breakers sell singly and in boxes. Add a box package on each and receive in boxes; stock stays in pieces. For items sold in coils or rolls, such as cable and tape, count by the coil or roll and price accordingly.

2A clear catalogue
Include brand, rating and size in the name, for instance "Breaker 20A" or "Socket 3-pin". Categories like Switches, Breakers, Wiring, Fans and Tools let the counter filter quickly. Good names matter, because a wrong rating is a costly mistake.
Without a system
- Ratings confused
- Weekly trade credit forgotten
- Costs moving unnoticed
With Dukaan POS
- Names with brand and rating
- Khata for electricians
- Cost updated per purchase
3Electrician accounts
Regular electricians take parts on credit and pay weekly or monthly. Their khata keeps every bill and payment, and the dues report lists balances with due dates, so a quick Friday review shows whom to ask for payment.
🧮 When should I reorder?
Reorder point = daily sales x delivery days + a safety buffer.
4Fast sellers and slow ones
Some items sell daily, others rarely. Set minimums on switches, bulbs, tape and common breakers so they never run out, and read product sales quarterly to spot the slow lines before they pile up.
5Costs that change
Copper-linked prices shift often. Each purchase updates your average cost, so the profit report shows the effect of supplier increases and prompts a price change, preventing margin from slipping unnoticed.
6Counter speed with many ratings
Electrical items with similar names differ by rating or size. Keep a consistent naming format, such as type, rating and brand, and use short categories. A cashier then finds the correct item with a few letters, and the bill shows the exact specification, which reduces disputes later about what was supplied.
7Counterfeit and brand control
Customers are concerned about genuine brands. Keep each brand as a separate product, record the supplier on every purchase and keep bill numbers. If a complaint arises, you can trace which supplier delivered the batch and when. This record supports your conversation with the distributor about replacements.
8Getting started and daily routine
Begin with the items you sell every day: switches, sockets, bulbs, breakers and wiring accessories. Enter their cost and price, and then set opening stock from a count. Each morning, check the low-stock list. Each evening, review khata balances for electricians who have not settled. Over time, the routine keeps both shelves and accounts under control without much effort.
Owners also find it helpful to record regular expenses such as shop rent and transport, since small trading margins can disappear into running costs without anyone noticing. The net profit report brings these costs together with sales and stock, so the real earnings of the shop become clear after a month of consistent entries.
