🔑 Key Features of the Hardware Store POS Web App

The Hardware Store POS Web App is a multi-user point-of-sale and store management system built entirely on Google Sheets and Google Apps Script. It ships with role-based logins for 5 account types (Admin, Manager, Cashier, Inventory and Viewer), a touch-friendly billing grid, and a live dashboard that surfaces 9 KPI cards plus 7-day and hourly sales charts.

• Touch-first billing – item image cards, name/code/barcode search, quick-add cart, automatic tax, and one-tap Pay or Hold for fast counter service on paint, tools, fasteners and fittings.
• Held & open orders – park a contractor’s sale, switch counters, and resume or cancel it later without losing the cart.
• Bills register – every receipt is searchable and can be reprinted, voided or refunded, with each action written to the audit log.
• Stock control – an item master with price, tax % and opening stock feeds an inventory ledger that records every in/out movement and flags low-stock SKUs.
• Purchases & suppliers – log stock inward against suppliers and track invoice totals, paid amounts and payment terms.
• Customers & loyalty – store contractor and walk-in contacts and loyalty points for repeat-buyer marketing.
• Shifts & cash register – open and close till sessions with opening cash, expected-vs-actual reconciliation and per-shift expenses.
• Receipts your way – print on 80mm, 100mm or A4 with configurable bill, shift and order prefixes, tax breakup and footer text.

📦 What’s Inside the Hardware Store POS Web App

POS / Billing Counter

The main till lists every item as an image card with live stock counts. Staff search by name, code or barcode, tap to add to the cart, and the checkout panel calculates sub-total, tax and total before Hold, Cancel or Pay.

Live Sales Dashboard

The dashboard shows 9 KPI cards — Sales, Orders, Discounts, Tax Collected, Tips, Voids/Refunds, Held Orders, Open Counters and Low-Stock Items — alongside a 7-day sales trend and an hourly sales chart for the selected date range.

Item & Product Master

Every product carries an ID, code, category, unit, price, tax % and stock status. Add items in seconds, attach an image, and mark them active or inactive — the same master powers the billing grid and the inventory ledger.

Inventory Ledger

The inventory page is a running stock ledger showing opening balances and every sale or adjustment across in, out and balance columns, with low-stock alerts so you reorder before a fast-moving item like cement or wire runs out.

Bills, Purchases & Suppliers

The Bills register lets you search, reprint, void or refund any receipt — pair it with the dedicated GST Billing System Web App if you need full tax invoicing. Purchases record stock inward against suppliers with paid or partial status, and the Suppliers directory keeps contacts, mobile numbers and credit terms in one place.

Customers, Shifts & Audit Log

Customer records hold contacts and loyalty points for regular contractors. The Shifts & Cash register opens and closes till sessions with cash reconciliation, while the Audit Log captures every login, sale, void, refund, stock change and edit by user and timestamp.

• Large retailers needing integrated e-commerce, ERP or warehouse-management connections out of the box

💼 Real-World Use Cases

Ramesh runs a neighbourhood hardware shop. He uses the Hardware Store POS Web App to bill walk-ins from image cards, hold a contractor’s order while he fetches stock from the back, and check the low-stock list each evening before placing supplier orders — with no monthly software fee.

Priya manages a 3-counter building-supply store. Each cashier signs in with their own role, takes payments on a tablet, and closes their till with cash reconciliation at shift end, while Priya reviews sales, refunds and the audit log from home in the same browser.

Sandeep, a paint-and-tools retailer, tracks repeat contractors in Customers, applies loyalty points at checkout, and reprints any past bill from the Bills register when a customer needs a copy for a project claim.
