For Hardware & Retail Stores

Your stock is already online.
You just haven't switched it on.

Cement, iron sheets, welding equipment, general hardware — list what you already stock and it's live at your own store address. Customers browse and send a quote request, because with hardware, price depends on quantity, not a fixed tag.

The Problem

If someone doesn't walk into your shop, they never see what you sell.

Your stock sits in a notebook or in your head. A customer three suburbs over who needs 50 bags of cement has no way to know you have it — so they call a competitor who's easier to find.

No re-entering products

Flip the products already in your O'Sense inventory to "visible" — nothing to rebuild.

Quote requests, not fixed checkout

Customers send an RFQ. You set the price by quantity, same as you always have.

Every request lands in one queue

See buyer details and requested items in your dashboard, not scattered across WhatsApp chats.

Stock stays in sync

The same product record feeds your store, your quotations and invoices and your stock counts.

Questions

Hardware shops, answered.

How can a hardware shop in Zambia put its stock online?

Mark a product visible in O'Sense Inventory and it appears on your own public store page, on a customer's phone, with your WhatsApp one tap away. There is no separate site to build or maintain, and the store sells from the same product list your counts and quotations use.

Can customers ask for a price on cement or iron sheets online?

Yes. The request arrives as a quote request with the items and the buyer's WhatsApp number attached, and you agree the price from there. For goods like cement, iron sheets or custom work — where the price depends on quantity — that is how the trade actually works, so there is no checkout pretending otherwise.

How do I turn a quotation into an invoice without retyping it?

In SalesOps a quotation converts to an invoice, then to a delivery note and a receipt, carrying the same client, the same line items and the same prices each time. Nothing is re-keyed, so the four documents agree with each other and with the stock list they came from.

Can I count stock at the end of a period?

Yes. Inventory holds every product with its price, category and count, says so when something runs low, and supports a stock count you can actually perform — which then adjusts closing stock in the books.
