FOR HARDWARE STORES
Hardware store inventory software for thousands of small parts
A hardware store lives on bins of fasteners, fittings and parts that all look alike. Capsultory gives every item a home with bin locations, prints shelf labels with barcodes, and tracks what goes out to contractor jobs.
What you get
Bin locations
Add a Bin location custom field to products and search by it, so anyone can find the right drawer.
Shelf labels
Print barcode or QR shelf labels on standard Avery sheets with name, size, price and UPC.
Jobs for contractors
Open a job for a contractor or project and record the stock it uses, with a printable job sheet.
Pick lists
Build a list of parts for an order and have staff scan each one as they pick it.
Supplier purchase orders
Suggested orders per supplier, approved by a person and emailed as numbered PDFs.
Counts by aisle
Cycle count one aisle at a time with a phone. Variances are logged with the old count.
How it works
Import the catalogue
Bring in products from your POS export or supplier price file.
Add bin locations
Create a Bin location field and fill it as you count each aisle.
Print shelf labels
Print labels for every product, or just the new ones, on Avery sheets.
Track jobs
Record what each contractor job uses so it can be billed and reordered.
A practical guide
Label first, count second
Shelf labels with a barcode make every later count faster. Print them once and counting an aisle becomes a scan per bin.
Use jobs for repeat contractors
When a contractor picks up parts over several visits, a job collects everything they took in one place for billing.
Do not count everything at once
Thousands of SKUs are easier to keep accurate with a rolling cycle count than a once a year stocktake.

Common questions
Can I print shelf labels?
Yes. Capsultory prints barcode or QR labels on Avery 5160, 5163 and 5167 sheets with the product name, size, price and UPC.
Can I track stock that goes to a job?
Yes. Open a job, choose the product and store, and enter the quantity. It comes off the store count and is listed on the job sheet.
Does it work without a dedicated scanner?
Yes. Any phone camera scans barcodes. USB scanners also work, since they type like a keyboard.
How much does it cost?
Capsultory Retail is $99 USD per store per month, flat, with unlimited users, PCs and tills. Chains can start on the pilot plan instead: $499 every 3 months for up to 3 stores, setup included. Every plan starts with a 14 day free trial.
