For building materials: quantities by the ton and the metre, and a credit account per contractor.
Dashing is for a dealer who sells cement, steel, pipes and sand to contractors and homeowners: you define the base unit and the larger ones above it with a factor, sell fractional quantities, record what a contractor owes with a credit limit, keep each contractor's own prices, and prepare a quote for a job before supply.
The ton, the bag and the metre, in fractions
You define the base unit, a bag or a metre for example, then the larger one with its factor, barcode and price. 2.5 tons is sold by typing the quantity with a fraction and stock is deducted in the base unit.
Contractor credit and a limit
You sell on the contractor's account with a due date, set a credit limit per customer, collect payments from their page, and share their statement by link.

Start freeContractor prices and a job quote
A named price list assigned to the contractor applies its prices to their invoices, and a quote does not deduct stock and turns into an invoice when accepted.
More than one yard, and purchase orders
Goods move between branches with a confirmed receipt, and a supplier purchase order is received in parts.
What it does not do
It does not schedule trucks or delivery routes or calculate loads: the delivery note is a free tool you print. No scale is connected: the weight of a load is typed.
Common questions
How do I sell half a bag?
Type 0.5 if the bag is the base unit, or define a smaller unit with a factor.
Can I stop a contractor going over their limit?
Yes. You set the customer's credit limit and the software follows their balance on credit sales.
Can I give a contractor a quote before supply?
Yes. A quote has no effect on stock or the books until it becomes an invoice.
