Software Solutions for Plumbing and Bathroom Product Sellers
Plumbing and bathroom products are bought by size, finish and fit, and some are heavy and breakable. Showrooms, dealers and online brands selling them need catalogues that hold that detail, prices for retail and trade buyers, packing that survives transit and one stock record shared with the shop.
Sell fittings, taps and sanitaryware online with sizes, finishes and fit matched correctly.
Plumbing and bathroom products look simple on a shelf and are fussy online. A fitting must match the pipe it joins, a tap must match the finish beside it and a toilet must suit the wall behind it.
Sellers range from showrooms with a website to dealers who supply plumbers by the carton. Their orders arrive as single items, as bathroom sets and as long trade lists.
Showrooms with an online range
A showroom lists branded taps, sanitaryware and accessories online and sells at the counter from the same godown. Customers often browse first and visit to confirm a finish.
Dealers supplying plumbers and contractors
A dealer sells pipes and fittings by pack and length on account. Rates differ by buyer, and repeat lists are common.
Online-first bathroom brands
A brand sells a curated range through its own store and marketplaces and ships from one warehouse.
Distributors serving dealers
A distributor supplies dealers in a region against orders, credit limits and scheme terms.
The workflow for plumbing & bathroom products.
- 1
Building the product record
Each item is recorded with size, material, finish, connection type and model number. Items that fit together are linked.
- 2
Choosing and matching
A customer filters by size or finish, or builds a set. The basket warns when one item does not suit another.
- 3
Pricing for the buyer
A homeowner sees a retail price, a plumber sees a trade rate and a dealer sees a distributor list. The order records which list applied.
- 4
Packing by handling need
Ceramic and glass are packed differently from pipe lengths. The pick list carries pack notes, and fragile packing is photographed.
- 5
Delivery and fitting
Large pieces go by freight. Where the seller offers it, an installer is booked and the order stays open until the fitting is confirmed.
- 6
Returns, breakage and spares
A wrong size, a cracked basin or a missing part is raised against the order with photographs. A spare cartridge or hose is sent where the brand supplies one.

How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- Your product list with sizes, finishes and model numbers
- Which items fit which, as your counter staff know it
- Your price lists for retail, trade and dealer buyers
Fit rules first
We write down which items join and match before any page is designed, since the basket and the search depend on it.
Pack and ship rules
Packing notes and carrier choices are set for fragile, heavy and loose-pack items, then tried on sample orders.
Start with one range
The site goes live with a single brand or pipe family, so shelf counts and web counts can be matched before more is added.
What you receive.
- A catalogue structure for size, finish and fit
- Price lists for retail, trade and dealer buyers
- Ordering, packing and returns flows
- Written handover and working sessions for your staff
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.

- Returns that cite a wrong size or a finish mismatch
- Breakage claims settled with a packing record on file

Questions about plumbing & bathroom products e-commerce.
Does it replace our showroom billing software?
Not necessarily. With GullySystem’s Tile and Sanitaryware Showroom Software, the website is built to draw on its stock records. With another billing package, we first read what it can export and plan the link from that.
Can the site stop a wrong-size order?
Where fit links are recorded, it can warn at the basket. The links come from your own range knowledge. It does not measure a customer’s pipe.
Can plumbers see their own rates?
Yes. A trade login shows that buyer’s rates and balance, and retail visitors see list prices only.
Does it install fittings or certify products?
No. Installation and certification stay with the people and bodies that perform them. The software can book a visit and store the references you provide.
