Paint & Coatings Store software — your questions
Does it keep working if my internet goes down?
Yes. AlfaDecode is offline-first, so billing, stock and customer lookups keep working with no internet. Everything syncs automatically once your connection is back, so nothing is lost.
Can it handle GST, VAT or sales tax on my invoices?
It applies the right tax on each line and produces GST/VAT-ready invoices, with tax reports at period end. Phrasing and rates follow your region, and totals show in your local currency.
Can I keep my data on my own premises instead of the cloud?
Yes. You can run AlfaDecode in the cloud or on-premise so your data stays on your own machines. Both options run the same software; you choose what suits your shop.
Can I track different colours, bases and pack sizes of the same product?
Yes. Each product is one item with variants for colour, base, sheen and pack size, plus multi-barcode support, so your catalogue stays tidy and easy to search.
Can painters and contractors buy on credit?
Yes. Customer credit (khata) lets trade customers buy through the month, and every account balance and payment is tracked so you always know who owes what.
Can I run more than one branch on it?
Yes. AlfaDecode supports multiple stores with stock transfers, stock-takes and consolidated reporting, so you can see each branch on its own or the whole business together.
