Software Solutions for Laundry Product Sellers
Laundry products are detergents, softeners, stain removers and pods, bought in a repeating cycle. Sellers online need price per wash or per kilo, pack-size comparison, machine-type notes, monthly basket subscriptions and shipping that copes with heavy powders and leaking liquids.
Price detergent by the wash and keep monthly baskets flowing.
Laundry goods are a household habit. The buyer repeats the same basket every few weeks and compares pack sizes by price per wash.
Detergent and softener brands
A brand sells powders, liquids and pods in several pack sizes, from a web store and from marketplace listings.
Laundry service suppliers
A supplier sells bulk detergent and stain removers to laundries and hostels by the can and the sack.
Distributors serving shops
A distributor sells cases to shops, at scheme rates that change through the year.
The workflow for laundry products.
- 1
Pack and wash comparison
Each pack lists weight or volume and the number of washes it covers, so the buyer sees price per wash.
- 2
Machine-type guidance
Products are marked for top-load, front-load or hand wash where the maker says so.
- 3
Monthly basket
A household builds a basket of powder, softener and stain remover and sets the cycle.
- 4
Heavy and liquid packing
Sacks are packed flat and liquids are held upright. Weight drives the carrier charge.
- 5
Scheme and offer pricing
A trade buyer sees scheme rates, with the start and stop date of each offer.
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.
- Comparison price per wash or per kilo computed from pack data
- Machine-type tags taken from the maker’s guidance
- Basket subscriptions with substitution rules when an item is out of stock
What we would build for laundry products.
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.
- Checkout payments through a licensed provider, with reconciliation reports exported to your books
- Returns pickup through the carrier, where the carrier supports reverse booking
- The distributor’s ordering and ledger system, where trade accounts are served
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- Your pack sizes, plus the washes per pack that each maker quotes
- Substitution rules for baskets
- Current schemes and their dates
Compute comparison prices
Price per wash is calculated for a few products and checked against the maker’s figures.
Pilot one basket
A single monthly basket is run with a small group of households.
What you receive.
- Comparison price fields
- A basket subscription flow
- Scheme rules for trade buyers
- A substitution policy for stalled baskets
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Baskets delayed by one unavailable item
- Support questions about pack value
Selling at home and abroad.
Detergent is sold by different pack sizes and wash-load conventions in each country. The catalogue holds the unit used in each market and the claim wording you are advised to use.

Cleaning Supplies E-commerce & Ordering Software
Configured implementation
No single GullySystem product runs a cleaning-supplies store. Discovery decides the commerce platform. The existing ordering product can then handle dealer and institution orders behind the store.
Comparison pricing, baskets and schemes are repeat-order and rate features the category solution already covers.

Questions about laundry products e-commerce.
Does the system know how many washes a pack gives?
No. It uses the figure the maker states and shows it. Actual washes depend on the load.
Can a basket swap an out-of-stock item?
Yes, with a substitution rule you set. The buyer can accept or skip it.
Can shops see scheme prices?
Yes. Registered trade accounts see schemes and dates that retail buyers do not.
