🧱 For Building Material Dealers

Run Your Building Materials Business From One App

Large orders, bigger credit balances, and stock that moves in bags and lengths, not units. BOS is built for the scale.

Building material dealing runs on volume: cement by the bag, iron rod by the length, and credit sales that can run into hundreds of thousands of naira per customer. BOS Afora is built to handle that scale, tracking bulk stock accurately, keeping large debtor balances visible, and comparing branches directly if you operate more than one yard.

Sound like your building materials business?

Large credit sales to contractors...

Can total millions before you realise how exposed you are.

Cement and rod stock moves fast...

And a shortage on a big order costs you the whole sale.

Running more than one yard...

Makes it hard to see which branch is actually doing well.

Manual stock counts take hours...

And they're already outdated by the time you finish.
