Software for hardware, building materials and home improvement.
We build a simple online store or stock lookup on the site you already have, tied to what you carry. Customers order or check stock on their own, and you keep the sale you would otherwise lose to a bigger chain.
Two people in Newfoundland build it, fitted to how your operation already runs, at a fixed price you get in writing before anything starts. 2 of the 5 things below are already built and tested, and they say so.
The same few places, in most operations we look at.
Patterns across hardware, building materials and home improvement, not claims about yours. If none of these is you, the call is a short one and we will say so.
- 01There is no way to order online or check stock before driving in.
- 02Special orders are tracked on paper.
- 03Stock across stores is reconciled by hand.
- The paperwork today
- special order forms, inventory counts and supplier orders
- Where the money or the time goes
- lost special orders, stock at the wrong store and no online sales channel
For hardware, building materials and home improvement, most useful first.
Two kinds of line on this list, and the difference matters. Built and tested means a tested package or a live route exists in our repository today and you can go and poke at it. Built to order means we have scoped it and have the engines to support it, and it has not shipped. We would rather you know which is which before the call than after.

The board
Live stock positionWhere every pound is, right now.
Product and quantity per site, the way a whiteboard shows it. Stock in transit sits outside the totals on purpose, aged stock flags itself, and the same numbers reflow onto a wall screen.

Offline catch captureRecord the landing, signal or none.
Cut the connection and keep recording. Records queue on the device, the list keeps reading from what the phone already holds, and one of them gets refused by the server on the way back in.
offline-first captureIf Jacob’s note brought you here, reply to it.
That is the fastest route: he reads every reply and comes back with a couple of times. Otherwise the form, or the phone, reaches the same two people.
