Pricing With a Purpose
Retail Pricing Software for Independent Hardware Stores
Smarter pricing, bigger margins, guaranteed — the only pricing management software built in a hardware store exclusively for independent hardware retailers.
Explore Margin Master
Start by Finding Out Where Your Pricing Stands
A Store Assessment reads your own items and works out which of your vendor's pricing programs your shelf prices actually follow — then shows what every other option would do to your price tags and your sitting margin. You see the number before you change a single price.
Available for Ace Hardware, Do it Best and True Value stores. Your prices stay your decision: every plan it shows is a sample model built from your own catalog and selling history, and nothing is switched on until you have read it and said so.
What the assessment reports
- Your current sitting margin, and the future sitting margin under each option
- How many retail prices would change, and how many go up and down
- The projected change in annual gross profit for each option
- Which parts of your store the opportunity is actually in
Projected figures are calculated from your last twelve months of sales, assuming comparable volume and costs. They compare pricing options; they are not a forecast of realized profit.

Simple. Effective. Proven.
Margin Master is the retail pricing management software built by an independent hardware store owner, for independent hardware store owners. Every feature is born from real-world experience managing margins — then perfected by listening to more than 2,800 retailers across the country.
Home Depot Isn't Going Anywhere. Neither Are You.
Independent hardware stores lose margin every day to big box retailers and online competitors who can afford to price aggressively. Margin Master levels the playing field — giving you daily pricing intelligence from Ace Hardware, Do it Best and True Value, automated strategy execution across your entire catalog, and the tools to protect and grow your bottom line.
With $2.2 billion in additional profits delivered to our customers, the question isn't whether Margin Master works. It's how much you're leaving on the table without it.
