Fast Counter Billing
Scan barcodes for instant counter billing, hold and recall parked bills during busy hours, and split one sale across cash, card and credit.
Contractor Credit & Khata
Run a pay-later ledger for builders and contractors. Track every credit sale and repayment per customer, and reward repeat buyers with loyalty points.
Sell by Piece or Bulk
Bill fasteners, pipes and fittings by the single piece or in bulk quantities. Print your own barcodes for loose stock and unlabelled items at the counter.

Hardware & DIY Store software — your questions
Can it keep billing if my internet goes down?
Yes. Alfa Decode is local-first and runs on your shop's own device, so you can bill, look up stock and take payments with no internet. Everything syncs to the cloud automatically once you reconnect.
Does it handle GST in India and VAT in the UAE?
Yes. GST invoices in B2B and B2C formats with HSN summaries are built in for India, and VAT is built in for the UAE. Both work from the same software with no add-ons needed.
Can I manage a very large catalogue of small parts?
Yes. The item master handles thousands of SKUs with categories, units, HSN, GST rate, cost and price. Multi-barcode support lets several codes map to one item, so any pack still scans correctly.
Can I give contractors credit and track what they owe?
Yes. The credit and khata ledger records every pay-later sale and repayment per customer, so you always know outstanding balances. You can also run loyalty points for regular trade buyers.
Can I track real cost when supplier prices keep changing?
Yes. Goods-Receipt Notes capture the cost of each purchase and apply weighted-average costing automatically. Supplier ledgers, reorder alerts and stock-takes keep your buying and margins under control.
Is it available as a one-time purchase or only subscription?
Both. Choose Cloud as a subscription, or On-Premise as a one-time licence with AMC, from the same codebase. A white-label option is also available if you want it under your own brand.
