Dukaan POS
1Bulbs by the carton, fixtures by the piece
LED bulbs and tubes arrive in cartons and sell singly. Add carton packages so deliveries convert to pieces. Fixtures, chandeliers and fans are counted individually, with prices that reflect their value.
Stock value by group
Example
2Project orders on account
A builder or interior designer may order fixtures for a whole house. Bill the order, record an advance, and keep the rest on their khata. When they pay the balance, record it, and the page shows the full story of the project's purchases.
Without a system
- Costly pieces counted rarely
- Project balances in memory
- Display pieces confuse counts
With Dukaan POS
- Valuation shows money tied up
- Advance and balance on the account
- Counts and adjustments
3Costly stock needs careful watching
One imported chandelier can cost more than a hundred bulbs. Stock valuation shows how much money sits in costly lines, and counts with adjustments catch breakage. Damaged pieces are written off, so the loss is clear.

4Pricing and discounts
Decorative lighting is often negotiated. Use a bill discount to settle a final price, and let only the owner or manager give it. The profit report uses the price actually charged, so you see what the negotiation cost.
5Fast and slow lines
Plain bulbs sell every day; designer pieces sell rarely. Set minimums on bulbs and tubes, and read product sales each quarter to see which designer lines are worth restocking and which to clear.
6Displays and samples
Lighting shops keep display pieces that are lit all day. Record them as a small adjustment or a separate sample product so the stock shows what is actually saleable. When a display piece is finally sold at a discount, record it with a line discount and the cost shows its true margin, avoiding confusion in counts.
7Seasonal demand
Lighting demand rises with weddings, Eid and the renovation season. Check product sales for earlier years, increase minimums on the lines that sold out and order decorative stock in time. Plain bulbs sell steadily, so keep them stocked at all times and let the designer lines follow the seasons.
8Getting set up
Enter bulbs and tubes first, with carton packages, then add fixtures and decorative lighting with costs and prices. Record your opening stock from a physical count, set minimums on the plain items and open accounts for builders and designers who buy regularly. With these basics in place, you can bill from the app the same day and keep improving the catalogue as you go.
9Checking the books monthly
At the end of each month, read stock valuation for the costly lines, product sales for the fast ones and the customer dues for project buyers. Note anything that surprises you and act on it before the next order. A short monthly review keeps the shop from drifting into overstock.
