Solutions for Hardware & Building Supply
High-SKU inventory and trade pricing under control.
Hardware and building supply businesses manage tens of thousands of SKUs, complex trade pricing, heavy logistics and contractor credit accounts. Groworx brings it all onto one platform.
The problems we solve
A typical hardware store carries 15,000 to 30,000 SKUs. Bolts, fittings, adhesives, tools, timber, plumbing, electrical. Manual stock counts miss items. Reorders are late or wrong. Customers leave because the shelf is empty.
Contractors, builders and trade customers all get different prices. Some have volume agreements, some have project-specific quotes. Managing this manually means someone is always being charged incorrectly.
A pallet of cement or a load of timber is not the same as a box of screws. Delivery planning needs to account for vehicle capacity, weight limits and site access.
Trade customers buy on account, collect across multiple branches, and settle monthly. Tracking credit limits, aging balances and multi-branch purchases without a centralised system leads to bad debt.

Reduction in bad debt
Hardware is not just retail.
A hardware business serves walk-in retail customers and trade contractors. The retail side needs fast checkout, promotions and loyalty. The trade side needs credit accounts, volume pricing and delivery. Most systems handle one or the other. POSibolt handles both in the same transaction.
The trade portal for contractors.
TradeLink lets contractors browse your catalogue, see their prices, place orders and track deliveries without calling your sales desk. They can set up recurring orders for ongoing projects. Your team processes the orders from a queue, not a phone log.
