TripleBill for Paint shop
Paint Shop Billing Software for Shades, Pack Sizes and Painter Credit
A paint shop stocks the same emulsion in 1, 4, 10 and 20 litres, in dozens of shades, plus primers, putty, brushes and rollers — and sells half of it to painters who settle at the end of the job. Paint shop billing software has to keep every pack size and shade countable and every painter's account straight. TripleBill does that with items per pack, barcodes, racks and credit limits, with GST and the books kept for you.

What gets in the way
- The same paint in four pack sizes and fifty shades, and stock that never matches
- Painters taking material on credit for a job and paying weeks later
- Whole-house quotes worked out on a calculator and retyped as bills
- Price revisions from the company every few months
- Tins with a batch number when a customer complains of shade variation
- Putty, primer, brushes and tape scattered across the shop
One item per shade and pack size
Make each sellable tin its own item — "Royale Matt, Ivory, 4 L" — with its own stock, MRP, selling price and barcode. If the company barcode is on the tin, save it on the item and scanning adds it to the bill; otherwise print your own labels. Loose items such as putty in kg or tape in pieces bill with decimals where they need to.
Categories by product line (interior emulsion, exterior, enamel, primer, putty, tools) keep the item list easy to search and the category-wise profit report meaningful.
- Item per shade and pack size
- Company or own barcodes
- Categories by product line
- Decimal quantities for loose items
Quotes for a whole house
A homeowner wants a price for three bedrooms and a hall. Build a quotation with the emulsion, primer, putty and tools, with a validity date, and send it as a link or PDF. When the colour changes, duplicate it and send version two. On yes, convert it to an invoice. If the painter collects in two trips, bill each trip as it goes, or record a sale order for each trip and send it on a delivery challan.
- Quotations with validity
- Duplicate to revise
- Convert to invoice
Painters and contractors on credit
Give each painter or contractor a credit limit. A bill that would cross it is stopped unless the owner overrides. Put painters in a party group to see their purchases together. Record payments in parts; the Payment Reminders page lists who owes what by how overdue, and one tap sends the dues on WhatsApp from your own number. Loyalty points per ₹100 at the POS can reward regular painters.

Racks and batches
Put tins on racks by brand and line, with the rack shown at billing. If you want to know which batch went to which customer — useful when a customer complains of a shade mismatch between tins — batch tracking (pharmacy mode, Pro) records the batch on purchase and on the bill. When a company revises prices, the bulk price update changes many items at once.

GST and the books, done underneath
Every bill posts to real double-entry books as you sell: sales, GST output tax, cash, bank and the customer ledger. Purchases do the same on the input side, so GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and the HSN summary are ready for any month and your accountant gets a trial balance that balances.

Can I give a quote for a whole house?
Yes. Make a quotation with all materials, revise by duplicating, and convert it to an invoice when the customer agrees.
Can I limit painter credit?
Yes. Set a credit limit per painter; bills over it are stopped unless the owner overrides.
