What EliteTeQ gives back to your hardware store
Every part of EliteTeQ, described by what it does for a hardware store.
New costs in, wrong parts out
Deliveries are recorded at the new cost, and wrong or faulty parts go back to the supplier and off their bill.
Reordering without overstocking →Unused parts come back cleanly
When a builder returns what was not used, it goes back into stock and off their account in one step.
The sales reports worth running →Broken stock written off where it happened
A split bag or a cracked fitting is written off with a reason at its location, so stock and profit stay true.
Where lost stock really goes →Parts where the builders buy
Move stock from the yard or storeroom to a busy branch, confirmed on arrival.
Running several branches and stores →Staff sell, you set the prices
Only the roles you choose can change prices or sell on account, and only you see costs and margins.
Fair rules that stop till fraud →Every price change has a name
Every sale, quote, price change and transfer is tied to a login and a time.
Catching shrinkage early →Quotes and statements where builders read them
Share job quotes and contractor statements on WhatsApp instead of chasing builders by phone.
Know where every box went
Received, opened into pieces, transferred, sold, returned or written off: the full history of every part.
Reading stock turnover →Books that keep up with the counter
Sales, purchases, account sales and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by branch.
Accounting and ERP in one system →Your team in the same system
Staff records and roles for the counter, storeroom and yard sit next to your stock and sales.
Staff, payroll and branches →Your business in your pocket, online or off
Check every branch from your phone, and keep the counter selling when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.
Cloud vs traditional POS →Still running your counter on memory and a price book?
The notebook & spreadsheet way
- Staff hunting for a part’s price
- One unit per item on the till
- Contractor debts in a ledger
- Old prices on half the tags
- Quotes retyped when the builder says yes
- Transfers nobody wrote down
- Profit is a guess
The EliteTeQ way
- Search or scan any part in seconds
- Piece, metre, kilo or carton from one stock
- Accounts with limits and due dates
- Price changes on every till the same day
- Quotes to orders in one step
- Every transfer confirmed on arrival
- Margin by product and category
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Hardware store POS software in Malaysia
Built for Malaysian businesses with SST-ready sales records, Ringgit (RM) pricing, DuitNow QR and e-wallet payments recorded against each sale, and stock tracked across outlets in different states.
Customers move freely between cash, cards, DuitNow QR and e-wallets, and many operators run outlets in more than one state. Sales and service tax (SST) is administered by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, while e-invoicing through LHDN MyInvois is being phased in by business size.
A day in a hardware store on EliteTeQ
An illustrative day, not a customer story.
Contractors queue before going to site. Parts are found by search or scan, and units are worked out on their own.
A builder takes plumbing fittings on account, within their limit, with the balance and due date updated.
A supplier delivery arrives at a new cost. Fittings prices are updated for the category and are live on every till.
A contractor asks for a roof quote. It is built with today’s prices and sent on WhatsApp.
A box of screws is opened for loose sales. The box and the pieces stay correct in stock.
Branch 2 is low on roofing nails. A transfer is sent from the storeroom and confirmed on arrival.
Closing. Cash, DuitNow, card and account sales reconcile against the day's sales.
