Construction Material Store Management Software (VLXD) 2026

Construction material store management software is a POS solution specifically customized for the VLXD industry, allowing management of thousands of product SKUs with complex units of measurement (bags, kg, pieces, m³, tons), tracking accounts receivable by project, and generating quick quotations. According to a 2025 survey by the Vietnam Construction Association, over 65% of VLXD stores have transitioned from manual ledgers to management software, helping reduce inventory check time by 40%.

#Why do construction material stores need specialized management software?

Unlike consumer retail, VLXD stores face challenges with overlapping units of measurement (cement sold by bag, steel sold by piece or kg), daily fluctuating raw material prices, and accounts receivable extending 30-90 days per project. Conventional POS software cannot handle these specific operations.

An average VLXD store manages 3,000-8,000 SKUs, of which 30-40% can be converted between two units of measurement (e.g., steel bar → steel kg). If inventory is received by piece but sold by kg, the software must automatically convert based on established coefficients. Pharmacy POS software has lot and expiry date management features, but VLXD requires an additional module for project-based accounts receivable management.

#5 Core Features of VLXD Management Software

Professional VLXD store management software requires 5 features: multi-unit inventory management, project-based accounts receivable management, quotation & contract generation, average cost of goods sold control, and profit and loss reporting by item.

Multi-Unit Inventory Management

The system allows declaring conversion rates between units (1 bag of cement = 50 kg). When goods are received by bag and sold by kg, the software automatically calculates inventory quantities in both units. This completely eliminates errors due to manual conversion.

Project-Based Accounts Receivable Management

Each customer can be assigned one or more projects. The software allows tracking accounts receivable separately for each project, generating detailed statements for each delivery. This feature helps store owners know the exact amount due from each project, preventing cash flow loss.

Quick Quotation and Contract Generation

With a large product catalog, preparing quotations for customers takes 15-30 minutes if done manually. The software allows creating quotation templates, automatically calculating discounts by quantity, exporting PDFs, and sending them via Zalo/Email in just 2-3 minutes.

Cost of Goods Sold Control using the Average Method

Material prices fluctuate with the market. The software applies the weighted average method to calculate the cost of goods sold, ensuring accurate profit and loss reporting. Each time goods are received, the cost of goods sold is automatically updated.

Profit and Loss Reporting by Item

The system generates revenue, cost, and profit reports for each SKU or product group (cement, steel, tiles). Store owners immediately know which items yield the highest profit margin.

#Comparison: Specialized VLXD POS vs. Conventional Retail POS

VLXD POS software differs significantly from conventional retail POS in its ability to handle complex units of measurement, manage long-term accounts receivable, and provide flexible quotation. The comparison table below clarifies these differences.

Criterion	Specialized VLXD POS	Conventional Retail POS
Units of Measurement	Multi-unit, automatic conversion (bag-kg, piece-kg)	Single unit, manual entry required
Accounts Receivable Management	By project, detailed by delivery	By grouped customer, no project separation
Quotation	Template creation, quantity-based discount calculation, PDF export	Simple printing, no progressive discount support
Cost of Goods Sold	Weighted average, automatic update	Average or FIFO, usually fixed
Reporting	P&L by item, product group, project	Total revenue, basic gross profit
