Software Solutions for Washroom Supplies Sellers
Washroom supplies are tissue, hand soap, air fresheners and the dispensers that hold them. A seller often places dispensers free or on rent and earns on refills. The software has to know which dispenser sits where and how fast each site uses refills, so replenishment is planned.
Track dispensers and refill consumption so supplies are reordered on time.
The product sold is the refill. The dispenser is the way the refill is held to one brand, so the record of where each dispenser is matters.
Refill suppliers placing dispensers
A supplier installs dispensers at a customer’s sites and supplies matching refills on a regular round.
Distributors of branded ranges
A distributor sells tissue and soap ranges to contractors, who place their own dispensers.
