Software Solutions for Switch and Socket Sellers
Switches and sockets are modular: a frame, a plate and several modules from one series must fit together, in a chosen finish. Buyers choose by room and by colour, and builders order by the hundred. Sellers online need series compatibility, finish matching and room-wise project lists.
Sell modular switches by series, module and plate, so a room’s parts all fit.
A switch plate is bought with the modules that go in it. Choosing from two series by accident leaves a wall with parts that do not fit.
Home and interior customers
A seller lists designer plates and modules for homes, chosen by finish and room.
Electrician and builder supply
A seller supplies series by the carton to electricians and builders, with project lists.
The workflow for switches & sockets.
- 1
Series chosen
A buyer picks a series and a finish. Only parts from that series and finish are then offered.
- 2
Room and wall plan
For each room, the buyer lists switches, sockets and dimmers. The catalogue works out the frames and plates needed.
- 3
Module match
Each module is checked against the frame size, and a warning appears when a plate holds too few places.
- 4
Project list
A builder sends a list by flat and floor, and receives a quotation split the same way.
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.
- Series, finish and size held as fields for every part
- Checks that modules fit the plate chosen
- Project lists split by flat, floor or room
What we would build for switches & sockets.
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.
- Maker catalogues, loaded from sheets
- Your stock records, brought in through an export
- Courier services for cartons, after rates are confirmed
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- The series you sell with their finishes and sizes
- How builders send project lists
- Your carton and loose-piece units
Build the series map
The relations between parts are written down once, because every check depends on them.
Replay a past project
A finished building’s list is rebuilt to test the room split.
What you receive.
- A series and module map
- A room-wise list builder
- A project list import
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Orders returned for a series mismatch
- Project quotes built from a sheet instead of by hand
Selling at home and abroad.
Socket shapes, wall box sizes and plate standards differ by country, so a series sold in one market may not fit another’s walls. The catalogue keeps a variant per market.

Configured implementation
A packaged commerce system is picked once your range and trade rules are understood, then configured and extended for ratings, quotations and cut-length goods. No GullySystem product is named for the store.
Series compatibility and project lists are catalogue and quotation settings that the category solution already carries.
