Software Solutions for Paint Brush and Roller Sellers
Brushes, rollers and sundries are low in price and high in count. Each has a width, a bristle or nap and a handle, and buyers add them to a paint order. Sellers online need clean variant data, bundles that go with paint, and low-cost packing for small items.
List hundreds of small tools by width, nap and handle without losing track of stock.
A brush is a small sale that follows a large one. It is bought in the same visit as the paint, in several widths, and often by the dozen for a crew.

The workflow for brushes & rollers.
- 1
Listing a tool family
A brush family carries width, bristle type and handle as options. A roller carries width and nap.
- 2
Suggesting add-ons
A paint order shows the tools that suit its finish, so a buyer completes the kit in one basket.
- 3
Selling by pack and dozen
Items are sold singly, in sets or by the dozen to crews, at a separate rate for each.
- 4
Light parcel packing
Small items go in padded envelopes or small cartons. Packing is chosen by weight, not by order value.
- 5
Returns of unused tools
An unused tool returns to stock. A used one is refused or credited as the seller’s policy says.

Who works in the system, and what each can do.

- The paint dealer product’s stock and counter billing
- UPI and card checkout for small baskets
- A light-parcel courier, with rates read once its feed is tested
How the work runs, and what we need from you.

- The paint finishes each tool suits
- Your parcel weights and courier rates
Tidy the variants
Variants are laid out once, so a tool family reads clearly on one page.
Check parcel margin
Courier and packing cost is added to sample orders, so small baskets are priced with it in mind.
What you receive.
- Variant catalogue for tools
- Paint-linked suggestions
- Dozen and set pricing
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Wrong-tool returns
- Parcel cost against the value of small orders
Selling at home and abroad.
Sellers shipping tools abroad should note that sizes of brushes and rollers may be quoted in inches or in millimetres. The catalogue can show both, and the carrier advises on duty and carriage.
