Dukaan POS
1Thousands of small parts
Organise by category: Pipes, Fittings, Taps, Mixers, Tanks, Bathroom Accessories. Use names that include the size, such as "Elbow 1 inch" and "Elbow 1/2 inch", so each size has its own stock. A quick search by name finds the right one at the counter.
Fitting stock by group
Example items
2Pieces, boxes and lengths
Fittings sell by the piece and by the box, taps and mixers by the piece, and pipes by the piece of standard length. Add box packages for fittings so a delivery of ten boxes adds the correct count. Pipes are sold per piece or per bundle.

3Contractor and plumber accounts
Plumbers pick up parts through the week and settle on a set day. Each has a khata page; bills are recorded as credit and payments as they come. The customer dues report shows who owes the most and the oldest dates, which keeps cash flowing.
🧮 Carton to pieces calculator
Stock lives in one base unit, so any package converts cleanly.
4Large and slow items
Water tanks, commodes and vanities take space and sell slowly. Stock valuation shows how much money sits in them. Product sales shows which ones moved in the last quarter, so you can decide whether to reorder or to offer a discount.
5Supplier credit
Most sanitary stock is bought on credit from distributors. Record each delivery with the supplier's bill number, your payment and the pay-by date. Their statement can then be checked against your list before you pay.
6Naming parts clearly
In sanitary stock, a size error becomes a wasted trip for a plumber. Include size, material and brand in the product name and keep the format consistent: for example, Elbow PVC 1 inch. Staff and customers then find the same item every time, and stock counts remain tidy. Good names are the cheapest way to prevent mistakes.
7Returns and wrong fittings
Customers often return parts that do not fit. Record the return against the original bill so the stock goes back and the refund matches what was paid. Frequent returns of one item may point to confusing labels or sizes, which you can then fix, saving everyone time.
8Getting started with a large range
A sanitary shop may have thousands of parts, so start with the fast movers: common fittings, taps and pipes. Add sizes as separate products and set box packages where you buy in boxes. Then add the remaining stock category by category over a few weeks. The catalogue grows with use, and billing is accurate from the first day for the parts you have entered.
