Software Solutions for Pulse and Dal Sellers
Pulses come whole, split, with skin or without, polished or not, and each form cooks differently. Buyers know them by local names. Sellers need names and forms that match how customers search, and a repeat basket that restores a household’s monthly dal list in one step.
List whole, split and polished dals so buyers pick the right one.
One pulse can appear as five different products. Toor dal, for instance, may be polished or oiled, split or whole, and sold under three local names.
A household buys the same set each month. Making that second order quick is where the value lies.
Grocery stores selling dals online
A store lists dals in several packs and delivers within a local area.
Packers of branded pulses
A packer sells sealed packs directly and through marketplaces.
Monthly kit sellers
A seller offers a ration-style list that a household repeats each month.
The workflow for pulses.
- 1
Form and name listed
Each pulse is listed with its form, polish and the local names customers use in search.
- 2
Pack size chosen
Packs of half a kilo to several kilos are offered, each with a price per kilo.
- 3
Basket from last month
A returning customer loads the previous list, edits quantities and orders.
- 4
Pick, check, seal
The picker checks the pack against the listing before sealing, because look-alike dals are easy to confuse.
- 5
Delivery and reorder
Delivery follows the area’s route. A reminder before the usual order date offers the repeat basket.
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.
- Local names and forms held as searchable data
- A repeat basket that survives price changes
- A pick check that separates look-alike packs
What we would build for pulses.
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.
- Shop stock and billing, such as the grocery product GullySystem already runs
- A payment gateway for single and repeat orders
- WhatsApp for reorder reminders, from a verified business number
How the work runs, and what we need from you.

How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- How many orders come from the repeat basket
- Complaints about a wrong dal
Selling at home and abroad.
Pulse names and preferred forms differ between regions and countries. Overseas buyers often search by a different name, so synonyms are held per market.

Grocery & Pantry E-commerce Software
Existing product, extended
GullySystem’s Grocery Management System already runs counter billing, stock, supplier purchases, customer credit, phone and WhatsApp orders, riders and a customer ordering app for grocery shops. Pack variants, an online catalogue by area and trade orders are configured around it. Batch and best-before tracking are not among its listed modules, so they are assessed in discovery.
Pulses sell in packs like grains, without bulk repacking. Name matching and repeat baskets are data and flows the category solution already covers.
