In short
What is the best billing software for a hardware store in Nepal?
Kuver Books is billing and stock software for hardware stores in Nepal that buys in bundles and sells in pieces, keeps retail and wholesale rates on each product, and warns you when a contractor crosses their credit limit. Stock is held godown by godown, with unlimited warehouses on every plan, and it is listed by the Inland Revenue Department under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074.
Before and after
What changes when the ledger book and the rate card go?
-
Conversions leave the counter
Conversions leave the counter. Units and their factors sit on the product, so the same item can be bought in bundles and sold in pieces without a mental step that sometimes gives margin away.
Before: Bundles bought, pieces sold, and the conversion worked out in your head at the counter.
-
Rates stop being negotiated twice
Rates stop being negotiated twice. Retail and wholesale prices live on the product, the contractor percentage lives on the customer type, and anyone overriding a price needs the permission to do it.
Before: Retail, wholesale and contractor rates remembered, looked up, then agreed again on the bill.
-
You see udhaaro every day, not once a month
You see udhaaro every day, not once a month. Limits, terms, a warning banner and a receivables ledger replace the ledger book, and statements go out by WhatsApp from the invoice.
Before: Credit kept in a ledger book and added up at the end of the month.
-
Transfers stop running on trust
Transfers stop running on trust. Every one goes through a request, a dispatch, time in transit and a receipt, with a reason recorded when the counts disagree.
Before: Stock sent to the other godown on trust, with nothing recording what arrived.
Hardware and building materials
What Kuver Books does for you each day
Buy by the bundle, sell by the piece, keep contractor credit and godown stock in check.
-
Buy by the bundle, sell by the piece
Set the conversion once on the product, and a delivery in bundles bills out correctly in pieces.
-
Retail and wholesale rate on one item
Each product holds cost, selling, retail and wholesale prices, with the VAT-inclusive price shown beside each.
-
A warning before credit runs too far
When a site account crosses its limit, a banner says so and links straight to settling the dues.
-
Nothing leaves a godown without a request
A godown asks for stock formally, and you approve all of it or part of it before dispatch.
-
Cost rises flagged on purchases
Purchase insights compare what you pay now per item with past months and flag the jumps.
Hardware and building materials, hour by hour
A day at a hardware counter
-
Morning
A mason buying fittings by the piece
The first customer of the morning is a mason buying fittings by the piece. They are scanned or searched, the line takes the retail rate from the product, and the bill prints with your PAN and 13% VAT on the taxable lines.
-
Mid-morning
A contractor on account
The second is a contractor with an account. The moment you pick the customer, the contractor rate applies, because the customer type carries its own percentage and nobody has to remember it. The order is rod and cement for a site across town, so it starts as a sales order: delivery date, the reference the site engineer will quote back at you, payment terms, and a delivery address different from the billing one. Delivery and labour go on as service items, priced and taxed but never touching stock.
-
At the invoice
Rod in by the bundle, out by the piece
Rod came in by the bundle and is going out by the piece. The conversion and the piece price sit on the product, so nobody does the arithmetic on the bill. Before the invoice goes out, a banner says this account is over its credit limit, and one click opens the dues, so you can collect the old balance before giving more credit.
-
Midday
Cement moving between godowns
The cement is in the second godown. A request goes in, it is approved, and the stock is dispatched with the lot named. Until the other godown confirms it, the quantity shows as in transit. When it arrives two bags short, you record the reason and Kuver Books makes the stock correction, so the balance still matches what is in the godown.
-
Afternoon
Supplier bills, photographed
In the afternoon the pile of supplier bills gets entered. Photograph the bill (PNG or JPEG), up to 5 photos per batch, 20 MB each. AI Bill Scanning reads the supplier, the dates, the totals and the line items, and matches each line to your catalogue, so you check a filled-in bill beside the photo. Approving it puts the stock in. Then purchase insights tell you something you would otherwise find out a month later: the rate on a fast-moving item has jumped, flagged as a cost spike against its own history.
How do I charge contractors and walk-in customers different rates?
A contractor and a walk-in customer pay different prices, and a rate remembered wrong gives margin away. Kuver Books takes the rate from the product and the customer type, so it is the same whoever is at the counter.
- Four prices on each product Cost, selling, retail and wholesale, entered before VAT with the VAT-inclusive price shown beside it.
- Customer types that discount themselves Group parties as retail, wholesale or contractor, and their percentage applies as soon as you pick them.
- Who may discount at all Mark products as no-discount, and decide by role who can override a price.

How do I stop stock going missing between godowns?
Rod in one godown, cement in another, fittings behind the counter. Goods that leave one store and arrive short at the next are a loss nobody sees until the count, so every transfer is recorded from request to receipt.
- Every dispatch names the lot Send all or part of a request, and a half-sent request stays visible.
- In transit until received Anything sent but not yet received is tracked, and receiving checks the quantity and batch.
- Shortfalls get a reason When a delivery arrives short, record why and the stock correction is made for you.

Fit check
What does Kuver Books not do for hardware traders?
Better you hear it now than after a month of setup.
-
There is no job or project costing
Nothing gathers materials, labour and margin against a named site or contract. -
There is no dispatch or vehicle routing
And no delivery challan workflow beyond the sales order, the invoice and the service lines you bill on it. -
There is no rental or hire register for plant, shuttering or tools
-
There are no quantity-slab or free-goods schemes
So a buy-ten-get-one deal is entered as a discount rather than generated for you.

- Unlimited warehouses on every plan
- 32 built-in reports

Unlimited warehouses on every plan, which in this trade usually means the shop, one or two godowns and a yard. Each keeps its own balance, reports alone or added together, and moves stock only through a request and a dispatch. Set a minimum stock level on the items that sell fastest, and a low-stock banner shows on the product list and the dashboard while there is still time to order more. Single branch on Standard and Premium; Enterprise covers multi-branch, priced with you. Behind it all sit 32 built-in reports, filterable in Bikram Sambat or AD, including stock position and value, ageing, profit and margin per item, and the VAT registers your accountant files from. Start on a 14-day free trial, no card required, bring one of your longest site bills, and time it against the way you raise it now.
