Turn an architect’s lighting schedule into a priced quotation and follow the order.
Lighting stores sell decorative fixtures to homeowners, and project lots of downlights, cove profiles, track heads and drivers to architects and contractors. Wattage, CCT and beam angle decide every line. Software built for the store would turn an architect’s lighting schedule into a priced quotation, hold stock by specification, and follow a project order through phased delivery and the architect’s commission.
The same downlight comes in five wattages, three colour temperatures and two cut-out sizes. Get one wrong and a ceiling ends up lit in two colours.
A system built for the store would treat specifications as seriously as your counter staff do. From the first quotation to the last delivery note, a 3000K line stays a 3000K line.
Walk-in customers buy chandeliers, wall lights and fans on the spot, usually after a long browse and a phone call home. The larger business comes from projects.
An architect sends a lighting schedule with fixture type, quantity, colour temperature (CCT), CRI and beam angle, room by room, sometimes ninety lines long. Your team matches each line to a product, a price and a lead time, then repeats the work when the schedule is revised.
Imported and branded fixtures arrive on order, sometimes weeks away. Deliveries go out in phases as the site gets ready, with drivers, dimmers and profile lengths checked against the list each time. Faulty drivers come back under warranty.

Read the case studyQuestions lighting stores ask before they call.
Can the new system post invoices to our accounting software?
Not built in. Your accountant can receive counter bills and project invoices in an import file, which is priced apart from the store system. What you file stays with your accountant.
Can it read an architect’s PDF schedule?
Often, yes. Lines come out of Excel easily and out of most PDFs with some checking, and your staff confirm each match before the quote leaves.
Do we need this if we mostly sell decorative lights?
No. For walk-in chandelier and fan sales a retail billing app with photographs is honest enough. Project work, with schedules and phased delivery, is what pays for the extra system.
Will it stop the wrong colour temperature reaching site?
Not by itself. Colour temperature appears on the picking list, the delivery note and the carton label, so a wrong warm or cool tube would have to slip past three printed checks.
How is a lighting store system quoted?
Catalogue size, shops and warehouses, counter and project team users, and any accounting link shape the scope. Architect commission tracking is optional. Once a sample schedule has been read, the quotation follows.
What should a lighting store bring first?
Start with a catalogue extract carrying wattage, colour temperature and beam angle, an architect’s lighting schedule, a project quotation, a stock sheet and a warranty log. One project sales lead and one stores person then check screens.
Who holds our catalogue and project history if we stop?
You, together with the code. Catalogue, quotations, deliveries and commissions leave in ordinary exportable files at your request. Support continues from those who built it. Hosting rests with GullySystem, or the store can take it in-house.
What happens after I share my requirements?
An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
