Sound familiar?

The problems we hear most from hardware stores — and what Siniam does about them.

01

A catalogue too big to type in

Upload the price list you already have, in any layout. Categories, units and prices are worked out for you to check.

02

Contractors who stretch their credit

A credit limit per customer, and their balance in front of you before you sell more.

03

Selling the same item in different units

Sell by the piece, the box or the length; stock comes down correctly either way.

Questions

Questions, answered

Can’t find yours? Ask us.

Ask a question
Can I sell the same product in different units?

Yes. Set up units such as pieces, boxes or metres; each sale takes the right amount from stock.

Can contractors buy on credit?

Yes. Give each trade customer a credit limit; their balance and payment due are always one click away.

I have thousands of products. How do I get them in?

Upload your existing price list in any layout — Siniam matches the columns for you to confirm.
