Forgotten Debts = Bankrupt Business

Throw Away the
Debt Notebook.

In hardware, business runs on trust. Fundis and contractors take materials now and pay later. But tracking debt in a physical book leads to arguments, forgotten balances, and massive losses.

  • Customer Credit Limits Assign a maximum credit limit to each contractor. The system will block cashiers from giving out materials if the fundi's debt is too high.
  • Automated Debt Reminders Generate a customer statement instantly and send an SMS or WhatsApp message with their exact balance and payment history.
Slow Quotations = Lost Tenders

From Proforma
to Paid in Seconds.

Hardware clients often need a formal quotation before money is released. If it takes you an hour to write one manually, they go to your competitor. Generate professional, branded quotes instantly.

  • Instant Proforma Invoices Add cement, iron sheets, and timber to a cart and save it as a Quotation. Print it or email it directly to the contractor.
  • One-Click Conversion When the client brings the money, pull up their saved quotation and convert it into a Final Invoice/Receipt with one click. No re-typing required.

Rigid Systems = Lost Bulk Deals

Sell by the Carton.
Price by the Customer.

Hardware and wholesale inventory is complicated. You buy a 50kg carton of nails but sell it by the kilo. You have walk-in customers and loyal contractors who deserve a discount. Cute Profit handles infinite units and multiple price tiers automatically.

Multi-Tier Pricing (Retail/Wholesale/Fundi)

Assign different price levels to the same item. When the cashier selects a customer's profile, the POS automatically applies their specific discount tier. No more manual calculations.

Bulk to Unit Fractional Conversion

Input your purchases in bulk (e.g., 1 Carton). When you sell 1 Kg, the system automatically converts the carton into kilos and deducts fractions correctly so your stock taking is always 100% accurate.

Fake Payments = Lost Stock & Capital

Secure Payments.
Zero KRA Fines.

Hardware stores process high-value transactions. A fake M-Pesa message on a KES 150,000 cement order is catastrophic. Cute Profit verifies payments automatically and ensures every bulk sale is B2B eTIMS compliant.

  • Direct Paybill & Till Integration The POS connects directly to your Safaricom business account. The cashier cannot print the receipt or release materials until the system confirms the exact amount has landed in the Till. Also supports direct STK Push.
  • Wholesale B2B & B2C eTIMS Compliance Selling to a company? Capture their KRA PIN at checkout. Cute Profit automatically generates an authorized B2B tax invoice with a QR code so they can claim their VAT, keeping your business 100% compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from hardware and wholesale owners.

Do I need a separate KRA eTIMS machine if I use Cute Profit?
No, you do not need any extra hardware. Cute Profit is fully integrated with the KRA eTIMS system. Every receipt printed from the POS automatically generates the required KRA QR code in real-time.
Can I sell items with decimals (e.g., 1.5 meters of pipe)?
Yes. Hardware inventory requires decimal quantities. You can easily sell 0.5 Kgs of nails or 2.5 meters of electrical wire. Cute Profit will calculate the exact price and deduct the exact fraction from your inventory.
How do I track a customer who takes items in stages?
If a contractor deposits money and takes materials slowly over weeks, or takes items on credit and pays later, you can manage this easily. Every customer has an "Account". You can post a deposit to their account, and the POS will deduct from that balance as they take materials. If they owe you, their account shows a negative balance.
Does it handle B2B eTIMS for my wholesale clients?
Yes! Cute Profit is 100% KRA eTIMS compliant. If you are selling wholesale to another business, you can capture their KRA PIN at checkout. The system will generate a B2B tax invoice with the correct QR code so they can claim their VAT.
Do I need a separate Paybill or Till for Cute Profit?
No, we integrate with your existing Safaricom Paybill or Till number. The system simply links to your account via an API to listen for incoming payments and automatically verify them at the till, eliminating the need for cashiers to check a phone.
