Software Solutions for Cleaning Chemicals Suppliers
Cleaning chemicals are sold in drums, cans and sachets, often as concentrates. Each product carries a safety document, and some cannot go with every carrier. Suppliers need those details beside the item and the order, with batch and date, so a buyer or driver is never asked to look elsewhere.
Attach the product document to the product, the pack and the order.
A litre of floor cleaner and a litre of acid descaler sit on the same shelf and in the same catalogue. They do not travel, store or get described the same way.
Concentrate suppliers
A producer sells concentrates in drums and cans, with the dilution stated, to contractors who mix on site.
Ready-to-use suppliers
A supplier sells trigger bottles and refills to offices and clinics, in cartons of a fixed count.
The workflow for cleaning chemicals.
- 1
Listing with documents
Each product is published with its safety document and technical note, and each pack size is linked to a base unit.
- 2
Pack choice
The buyer picks a drum, can or carton. The system converts the order into litres for stock and into packs for picking.
- 3
Batch recorded at pick
The batch and date of what was packed are written to the order.
- 4
Carrier chosen by class
Products with a restricted class go only to a carrier marked for them. Others use the normal service.
- 5
Document with the delivery
The relevant documents are sent to the buyer with the invoice, and kept against the order.
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.
- A current document, with date, for every product listed
- A class value on each product, supplied by your adviser
- Pack-to-base-unit conversion for concentrates and ready-to-use items
What we would build for cleaning chemicals.
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 payment gateway that accepts the value of your typical order
- Carriers that take your product classes, once a check of their interface and terms is done
- the existing dealer-ordering product, for contract customers and dispatch
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- Your product list with documents and current versions
- Your pack sizes and base units
- Which carriers accept which product classes, from your adviser
Documents first
We load documents and settle which version is current before any product goes live.
Rules for class and carrier
The delivery limits are written down, signed off by you and then built.
What you receive.
- A document-linked catalogue with pack conversion
- Carrier limits by product class
- Batch recording at pick
- Training for the catalogue editor and packers
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Orders delivered with an out-of-date document
- Failed deliveries because of carrier limits
Selling at home and abroad.
Chemical labels, safety documents and carrier acceptance differ by country and by carrier. Showing other currencies is a display option. Collecting in them is a matter for your gateway and bank.
