Software Solutions for Shampoo Sellers
Shampoo is sold in strips of sachets for corner shops, in standard bottles for homes and in litre pumps for salon basins. Each format has its own weight, price and buyer. Sellers online also filter by scalp and hair type and handle trade orders by the carton.
Sell shampoo from a ten-gram sachet to a litre pump on one stock record.
A sachet strip and a salon litre carry the same name and the same formula. Everything else about them is different, from price to parcel.
Mass-market shampoo brands
A brand sells bottles and sachets through retail and its own site, with trade schemes for small shops.
Salon and professional ranges
A professional brand sells litre packs and backwash formats to salons, and a retail bottle to their clients.
Specialist scalp-care brands
A brand sells shampoos for specific scalp concerns and relies on clear ingredient information and routines.
The workflow for shampoos.
- 1
Scalp and hair type selected
The buyer chooses oily, dry, flaky or sensitive scalp and a hair type, and sees shampoos that match.
- 2
Format chosen
Sachets, 200 ml, 650 ml and litre packs are separate variants, and every one carries a price and a weight.
- 3
Carton orders for shops
A small trader orders by the carton of sachet strips at a scheme price, with a minimum order.
- 4
Salon refill
A salon reorders its usual litre packs from a saved list and has them delivered to the shop.
- 5
Dispatch and breakage
Large bottles are packed upright and capped. A leaking bottle is shown in a photograph and replaced without being returned.
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.
- Unit conversion between sachets, strips, bottles and cartons
- Packed weights for every format
- Approved wording for scalp-concern products
- Reorder lists for salon accounts
What we would build for shampoos.
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.
- Distributor order feeds, where a distributor can share them as a file
- A courier with weight-banded rates, reviewed before use
- Card and UPI collection, with credit terms for trade accounts
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- Your formats with conversion ratios
- Approved text for each scalp concern
- Your salon accounts and their usual orders
Settle the unit conversions
How many sachets make a strip and a carton is entered once, because every stock count depends on it.
Move salon reorders online first
Salons that already reorder by phone are the first to get a login.
What you receive.
- A format and unit structure
- Weight-banded shipping rules
- Salon reorder lists
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Stock mismatches between carton and sachet counts
- Salon orders placed online against by phone
Selling at home and abroad.
Sachet formats are popular in some markets and unfamiliar in others, and rules for describing scalp products differ. The range shown and the wording used change from market to market.

Configured implementation
Retail store, salon logins and trade catalogue are all configured around a platform that discovery picks. No existing GullySystem product sells haircare online, so stock and channel rules are set up for each brand.
Pack-size variants, unit conversion and trade ordering are settings of the category solution, not a separate system.
