Retail and distribution · Software for plumbing material dealers

Bill pipes and fittings by size and brand, and settle plumber returns against the right bill.

Plumbing material dealers sell CPVC, uPVC, GI and SWR pipes, fittings, valves, tanks and CP fittings to plumbers, contractors and builders. One job can need sixty fitting codes across three sizes, and unused pieces come back after it is done. The software keeps sizes, brands and pressure classes in the item master, links returns to the original bill, and tracks plumber commission and brand schemes.

At a glance

A plumber’s list reads like shorthand: half-inch elbows, three-quarter tees, an MTA, two ball valves and a tin of solvent. The counter turns it into item codes for a particular brand and pressure class before anything is billed.

Manage the item master, counter billing, site orders, returns, plumber accounts and brand schemes in one system. The shop, the godown and accounts read the same stock.

How the work runs today

Plumbers come to the counter early or send a photo of a handwritten list on WhatsApp. Staff pick fittings by the piece and pipes by the length, apply the plumber’s rate, and note which contractor or site the material is for.

Builders and contractors order larger quantities with a quotation and delivery to site, sometimes floor by floor. When a job is finished, the plumber brings back what was not fitted, and the return has to find its way to the bill it came from.

Brands revise price lists often. Plumbers expect their commission on time.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for plumbing material dealers without a proper system.

Fittings are billed under the wrong size

A half-inch and a three-quarter-inch fitting look alike in a hurry, and the code for the wrong one goes on the bill. Stock drifts quietly.

Returns are not linked to the bill

Unused fittings come back weeks later, and the credit goes to whoever is standing at the counter. The contractor’s ledger stays wrong.

Old rates stay on the bill

A brand revises its price list, and some items are still billed at the old rate for days. The margin goes unnoticed.

Plumber commission is argued over

Bills referred by a plumber are not marked, so his commission is worked out from memory at month end. Both sides remember differently.

Odd sizes become dead stock

Rarely asked sizes and discontinued fittings sit in the godown past the time the brand will take them back. The money stays stuck.

What the software does

What we would build for plumbing material dealers.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Item master by size, class and brand

Hold pipes and fittings by material, size in inches and millimetres, pressure class and brand, and search by the nicknames your counter staff already use.

Counter billing by piece, length and bundle

Sell fittings by the piece or box and pipes by the length or bundle, at the rate set for retail, plumber, contractor or sub-dealer.

Returns against the original bill

Receive unused material against the bill it was sold on, check it back into stock, and credit the right plumber, contractor or site.

Plumber accounts and commission

Mark each bill with the plumber who brought it, total what he has earned for the month, and record what has been paid.

Site orders and deliveries

Quote a builder or contractor by site, deliver in lots on a challan, and keep the balance open until the last load goes.

Brand price lists and schemes

Load each revised price list with the date it starts, and show purchases against every brand’s quantity slab before the scheme closes.

Common questions

Questions plumbing material dealers ask before they call.

Can contractors and sub-dealers order without calling the counter?

Yes. Our wholesale ordering product gives each buyer a login with his own rates, stock in hand and ledger, and the order arrives checked against his credit limit.

Can plumbers earn the brand’s loyalty points through this system?

No. Brand loyalty points are scanned and claimed on the brand’s own app. This system tracks the commission your shop pays the plumber, which is a separate arrangement.

Can we sell a pipe by the length and by the bundle?

Yes. Each pipe carries its length and the number in a bundle, so stock is counted the same way whether it is sold loose or packed.

Will it link to Tally?

Not built in. We can write an export to Tally during implementation, under a quote of its own. Your accountant chooses the ledger names it should use.

What happens in the free technology audit?

We 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 to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is 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. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
