TallyPrime for
Hardware Shops in Kenya
Manage thousands of SKUs, control contractor credit, and stay KRA compliant — all from one system. TallyPrime is the trusted accounting and inventory platform for hardware and building materials businesses across Kenya.
Built for Kenyan Hardware Businesses
Large SKU Inventory Management
Hardware shops carry thousands of items — nails, pipes, cement, paint, tiles, and more. TallyPrime handles unlimited stock items with categories, units of measure, and reorder alerts.
Bulk & Retail Pricing
Set different prices for contractors buying in bulk and retail customers buying small quantities. Apply discounts by customer type or quantity automatically.
Contractor Credit Management
Most hardware shops extend credit to contractors and building companies. TallyPrime tracks each contractor's credit limit, outstanding balance, and payment history.
Quotation & LPO Management
Generate professional quotations for contractors and manage Local Purchase Orders from government and corporate clients. Convert approved quotations to invoices in one click.
Slow-Moving Stock Reports
Identify items that haven't moved in 30, 60, or 90 days. Reduce dead stock and free up working capital tied up in slow-moving inventory.
KRA eTIMS Compliance
Every sale — cash, M-Pesa, or credit — generates an eTIMS-validated receipt automatically. Stay compliant without any extra work.
Hardware FAQs
Can TallyPrime handle different units of measure for the same item?
Yes. TallyPrime supports compound units of measure — for example, buying cement in bags and selling by the bag or by the pallet. Conversion factors are set once and applied automatically.
How does TallyPrime handle price fluctuations for building materials?
TallyPrime uses FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average costing methods. When material costs change, your cost of goods sold and margins are updated automatically.
Can we track deliveries to construction sites?
Yes. Delivery notes in TallyPrime track what was delivered, to which site, on which date — separate from the invoice. This is useful for contractors who want delivery confirmation before paying.
