In the hardware or building materials business?

We understand you

Running a hardware store in Algeria means juggling thousands of references - fasteners, plumbing, paint, tiles, electrical supplies, tools - sold in completely different units: by kilogram, linear metre, m², unit, batch or bag. Without the right tool, preparing a site quote or simply knowing what is left in stock becomes a real challenge.

At CIRTASOFT, we develop GestiumPRO to address these real-world challenges. Multi-unit catalogue management, professional site quotes, client accounts with credit, supplier tracking and margin control - everything you need to run a modern hardware store with confidence.

Challenges

What your peers deal with every day

You are not alone facing these challenges. These are the pain points we hear most often in the hardware and building materials industry.

Catalogue of thousands of references

Fasteners, taps, electrical cables, tiles, cement, paint... Managing thousands of items without suitable software leads to confusion, duplicates and daily pricing errors.

Mixed sales: kg / m² / unit / batch

Calculating the price of an order with items sold by kilogram, others by square metre and others by unit is a constant source of errors and wasted time at checkout.

Complex site quotes to prepare

Preparing a quote for a construction site involves dozens of items, varied units and client discounts. Done by hand on paper or in Excel, it is slow, imprecise and hard to track.

Unexpected stockouts on common items

High-turnover items - anchors, glue, cables, taps - run out without anyone noticing. The shortage is discovered in front of the customer, which hurts the store's credibility.

Professional clients with accounts and credit

Contractors, masons and tradespeople often work on credit. Without rigorous tracking of outstanding balances, unpaid invoices pile up and reminders are sent manually, often too late.

No traceability of stock movements

Without precise tracking of outgoing stock, it is impossible to reconcile theoretical and actual inventory. Discrepancies accumulate, stocktakes are inaccurate and losses remain invisible.

In a hardware store, you must pursue three objectives simultaneously: product availability, commercial responsiveness and control of client outstanding balances. Without the right tools, this is an impossible equation to sustain in such a competitive industry.
