Software Solutions for Art Brush Sellers
A brush is chosen by touch, and online it has to be chosen by data: hair type, shape, size number, handle length and the medium it suits. Sellers need those facts set out clearly, since numbering differs by brand, and tips must be protected in transit.
List hair, shape and size so a buyer can choose a brush they cannot hold.
Brush sizes are not standard. A number six from one maker is not the number six from another, and buyers know it.
A damaged tip makes the item worthless, so packing is part of the product.
Specialist art shops
A shop lists brushes by brand and medium and advises customers across the counter.
Brush makers selling direct
A maker offers its ranges and sets on a web store of its own and to retailers.
Suppliers to classes and studios
A supplier sends brush sets for a course or a school and invoices the institution.
The workflow for brushes.
- 1
Recording the brush
Hair type, shape, size number, length and recommended medium are held as fields.
- 2
Showing size honestly
A scale image or measured width and length sits beside the size number, so buyers can compare across brands.
- 3
Building sets
A set draws from single brushes, and a class pack is a set with a larger quantity.
- 4
Protecting tips
Brushes ship in tubes or sleeves, and each parcel is checked against the pick list.
- 5
Handling returns
A returned brush is inspected, because bent hairs cannot be restored and the item cannot be resold.
The challenges, and what they cost.
What is specific to this trade.
These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.
- Attribute fields for hair, shape, size and medium
- Measured widths beside brand size numbers
- Set and class-pack composition
- Packing rules that protect tips
What we would build for brushes.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.
An integration is confirmed only after its API, access and scope are checked. A connection that updates on a schedule is described as scheduled, not real-time.
- A shared catalogue between the shop and the store, with one owner for each record
- Card, UPI and net-banking options limited to what your merchant account has enabled
- A rate shopper that compares your carriers on weight and route
- Review requests sent to buyers some days after delivery
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide

- The class and studio customers who reorder
Measure what you can
Widths and lengths are collected for the brushes you sell most.

A few teachers’ lists are saved and tested before the feature opens.
What you receive.
- A brush attribute and size-chart structure
- Set and class-pack rules
- Tip-protection packing steps
- Repeat class ordering
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Returns for wrong size
- Brushes damaged in transit
- Class orders repeated without retyping
Selling at home and abroad.
Brush sizing systems differ between countries, and some makers use only their own scales. Measured widths let buyers abroad compare reliably, and parcels are packed to the same tip-protection rules for every route.

Configured implementation
The store and its order flows are assembled around your catalogue and shipping rules, using whichever platform discovery recommends. No GullySystem product is named, and the written proposal fixes the scope.
Attribute fields, size charts and sets are handled by the category catalogue without a separate system.

Questions about brushes e-commerce.
Can the site compare sizes across brands?
Where widths are measured and entered, yes. Without measurements it can show only each brand’s own numbering, and says so.
Does it tell a natural hair from a synthetic?
It reproduces the maker’s description. It cannot judge quality, and we do not claim to.
Can a teacher repeat last term’s order?
Yes, from a saved list. Prices are checked again, and a changed price is flagged on the basket.
