Billing and Inventory Software for a Plywood and timber store

The operating problem

What needs to become clearer

A plywood and timber store can lose margin and stock visibility when quotation-led mixed-unit sales are split between notebooks, chat messages and unreviewed spreadsheets. The item structure must reflect sheets, timber sizes, fittings and project deliveries.

Recommended approach

Start with the workflow, then test the software

Start with sample transactions for quotation-led mixed-unit sales. Then test item lookup, price changes, returns, payment status and reports using sheets, timber sizes, fittings and project deliveries, without assuming specialist functions that have not been demonstrated.
