Khata software for hardware and sanitary stores

Contractors who buy on a running account and a shelf full of small items. Keep each contractor's khata exact and know when cement, pipes or paint run low.

Sound familiar?

  • The problem

    Contractors buy over weeks and the total is argued at the end

    With eKhata

    Every purchase and payment is dated on the contractor's running ledger, so the total is backed by a clear trail.

  • The problem

    Thousands of small items and no idea what is running low

    With eKhata

    Stock with low-stock warnings tells you what to reorder before a regular customer finds the shelf empty.

  • The problem

    Different items sell in different units

    With eKhata

    Pieces, bags, feet, sheets, tiles, cartons and more are supported, plus your own custom units.
