Retail and distribution · Battery Dealer Management Software

Serials, exchange cores, warranty cases and garage credit at the counter.

Manage battery stock by brand, model and serial, counter sales with exchange rebates and scrap core intake in one system. Warranty cards, replacement cases at the brand’s service centre and credit accounts for garages and electricians sit beside them. A claim opens straight from the invoice, because every sale carries the battery’s serial and the buyer’s name. No old registers.

  • Brand catalogue, warranty terms and exchange rates entered as your suppliers publish them, so the first bill already uses your own rebate rules and ratings.
  • Opening stock and serials migrated.
  • Edits to brands and rebates on request.

Battery shops and distributors handling automotive, two-wheeler, inverter and solar units can run stock, sales, exchange and warranty in Battery Dealer Management Software, which GullySystem configures. Each battery is held by serial and date code, sold against a customer and followed through any claim. Old cores and dues sit beside it.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

The warranty card is the only proof of the serial

Cards are lost, stamped late or filled with the wrong number. When a battery fails, the dealer has no record of which unit left the shop, and the brand turns the claim down. The dealer pays for it.

Scrap cores have no count

The exchange rebate is given at the counter. Nobody records how many cores arrived, which were load-tested, which are held, and what the scrap buyer finally weighed against the rebates allowed.

Failed batteries disappear into a slip

A unit tagged after a drop test goes to the service centre on a paper note. When the owner calls, the shop cannot say whether it passed, earned a swap or was refused for sulphation after the bench check.

Garage balances grow between ledger entries

Garages and electricians take units on a nod, and the book is written up at month end. Old dues are hard to chase, because nobody remembers which battery a balance was for. Credit creeps up.

The oldest date code is not sold first

Sealed and dry-charged units self-discharge on the rack while the brand’s warranty clock runs, so fresh stock sits at the front and older batteries wait behind it. Stock ages unseen.

Brand slabs are tracked on a calendar

A bonus can hang on units bought by a fixed date. The dealer learns how near the slab is only when the distributor’s statement arrives, and by then the buying window has closed.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

Illustration with sample figures. Your screens are built around your own records.
  1. 1

    Receive stock

    Stock arrives against the supplier’s delivery note. Serial and date code are keyed or scanned, and each unit goes on the shelf as a record the counter can find by rating and make.

  2. 2

    Quote and bill

    The counter quotes a rate with and without an old core, raises the bill and ties the serial to the buyer’s name and phone. The warranty period starts from that day.

  3. 3

    Take back the old core

    The returned battery is logged with brand, rating, terminal condition and weight. The rebate shows on the bill, and the core goes into the exchange register to wait for its load test.

  4. 4

    Handle a warranty case

    The bench records open-circuit voltage and the drop test result, tags the unit and sends it to the service centre, and the customer is told where the battery stands. No guessing.

  5. 5

    Collect trade dues

    Garage and electrician accounts show the balance by age. A reminder fires ahead of the credit ceiling, receipts are posted against bills, and old dues stay visible on the list for the collector.

  6. 6

    Claim brand schemes

    Purchases and sales are set against each brand’s slab, and the claim form is prepared from the record when the period closes. Targets are checked as the month runs.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Battery stock by brand and serial

Hold stock by brand, model, ampere-hour rating and chemistry, with serial and date code on every unit, and scans at receipt and sale keep the shelf count honest. No stock-taking guesswork.

Date codes and stock ageing

List units by manufacture date and flag the ones nearing the age at which charge is lost, so the counter picks the oldest unit first. Shelf life is protected.

Counter billing with exchange rebate

Quote two rates for each model, with or without an old core. The rebate prints on the bill, and the serial is added to the invoice line so the warranty record starts at the counter.

Sale and warranty record

Tie every serial to a buyer and a date, and read the free-replacement and pro-rata periods from the brand’s terms, so a claim opens straight from the invoice. Proof is already filed.

Old battery exchange register

Log each core by brand, rating, terminal condition and weight. Follow it until it is load-tested, held or sold to the scrap buyer, with the rebate allowed shown against it. Every core is accounted for.

Warranty and replacement cases

Record the complaint, bench voltage, drop test, the day the unit left for the service centre and the verdict, so the customer hears where the battery is. No repeat calls.

Garage and electrician accounts

Set a credit ceiling for each trade buyer, age unpaid bills in buckets and show the battery serials behind every balance. The counter is warned before a sale breaks the ceiling. Ageing is visible.

Brand scheme and purchase tracker

Set purchases and sales beside each brand’s slab and bonus date, and prepare the claim form from the record. Scheme rules are entered at set-up, one brand at a time, as the distributor prints them.

Charging and fitting jobs

Log bench charging, terminal cleaning, water topping and home fitting visits for inverter batteries, with the technician, serial and address. Each visit prints on one job card for the customer to sign.

Supplier orders and receipts

Raise orders on brands and distributors from reorder levels, and match each delivery note against what was ordered and what arrived. Short deliveries show before the supplier’s bill is paid. Disputes shrink.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Each battery enters stock with its serial and date code, and the same number follows it to the buyer and into any warranty claim.

  • Point of Sale Billing

    The counter bills with or without an old core, the rebate appears on the invoice, and the serial prints against the line.

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    Units are listed by manufacture date, and those nearing the age of charge loss are flagged so the oldest battery is sold first.

  • Credit Limits and Control

    A credit ceiling is set for each trade buyer, and the counter is warned when a new battery would take the balance past it.

  • Collections and Payment Follow-Up

    Unpaid bills are aged in buckets with the serials behind each one, and reminders go out before a garage’s balance turns stale.

  • Price Lists and Schemes

    Brand slabs and bonus dates are entered per brand, and purchases and sales are set against them to show units still needed.

  • Job Cards

    A job card holds the battery serial, technician and address for each bench charge or home fitting, with parts used and the amount billed.

  • Purchase Order Management

    Orders to brands and distributors come from reorder levels, and each delivery note is matched with what was ordered and what arrived.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For owners

See stock by age, cores held against cores sold, open warranty cases, trade dues and how far each brand target has moved.

For counter staff

Quote with and without a core, scan the serial, take the rebate and print the bill and warranty record in one go.

For the bench technician

Log voltage and drop test readings, tag the unit and update the case as the service centre replies. The counter then answers the customer without walking to the bench.

For the accounts clerk

Post receipts, watch the aged list for garages and electricians, and prepare scheme claims for each brand. Overdue balances show with the battery serials sold on each bill, so a call to a garage names the unit.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Stock by brand, model, serial and manufacture date
  • Batteries sold by serial, buyer and warranty end date
  • Cores received, tested, held and sold, with rebate allowed
  • Warranty cases by stage, brand and age
  • Garage and electrician dues by age bucket and credit ceiling
  • Brand slab progress with units still needed
  • Charging and fitting jobs by technician
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Shops selling car, truck and two-wheeler batteries to walk-in buyers and garages
  • Dealers supplying inverter and tubular batteries to homes, shops and electricians
  • Solar battery sellers that also take back old units
  • Distributors that sell to sub-dealers and keep brand scheme targets
  • Battery shops that run a charging bench and home fitting visits
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • For a counter that mostly sells spares by vehicle fitment and keeps a few batteries on the side, the auto parts shop package fits better.
  • Anyone assembling battery packs in a workshop is better served by Battery Pack Manufacturer Management Software, which handles cells, welding and pack testing instead.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Brands, models and terms

Each brand’s model list, warranty periods and pro-rata rules are loaded at the start, as the supplier prints them on the card. No one looks up a term by hand again.

Exchange rates and rebate rules

Core rebates by rating and condition are set to how your counter quotes today, and the scrap buyer’s weighing sheet is added if you use one.

Label and barcode layouts

Serial and date code positions on each brand’s label are checked, so scanning works and typed entry is the fallback. Mistakes are caught early, before stock is shelved with wrong codes on it.

Stock and balances brought across

The shop’s present stock with each serial, plus what every garage and electrician owes, is imported once and then counted against the shelves by counter staff.

Currency and tax per country

Invoices follow the currency and tax settings of the country you trade in, and these are reviewed with you during implementation. Nothing is printed at the counter until you have seen a sample bill.

Hosted by GullySystem

GullySystem runs the hosting, and every counter and the bench read one record. A second shop or a separate stockroom can be added later without starting a new set-up from scratch.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Is this the same as a parts shop product?

No. A parts shop sells by vehicle fitment. Here the record is the serial, and its date code, core and claim history stay with it from the day it is shelved.

How is the warranty period decided?

It is read from the brand’s terms that you enter, counted from the sale date on the invoice. The brand still decides whether a claim is accepted, but your record is complete, so the dealer argues from facts and not from a stamped card.

Can the counter scan the battery label?

Yes, where the label carries a barcode and a scanner is at the counter. Otherwise the serial is typed, and each brand’s label layout is checked during set-up so typing is rarely needed at the counter.

How are old cores accounted for?

Each core is logged on arrival with its rating and weight. It stays in the exchange register until it is tested, held or sold, and the rebate stays visible on the bill. Nothing goes uncounted.

Can I see which batteries a garage still owes for?

Yes. The account lists unpaid bills by age, and each bill shows the serials sold on it. A credit ceiling can stop a sale at the counter before the balance grows any further.

Does it track a battery sent to the service centre?

Yes. The case holds the bench readings, the date it left and the reply, so you can tell a customer whether the battery was replaced, credited or refused. No call to the brand.

Can it prepare brand scheme claims?

It prepares the figures from your sales and purchases against the slab. The form layout of each brand is built to match the one the distributor sends, and submission stays with you.

Can I keep my accounting package?

Yes. Sales, receipts and party balances export to a file your accountant can open. Posting straight into the accounting package is quoted as its own item, once we see the package.

Who owns the records?

You do. Serial lists, sales and claim histories leave in a file layout that we settle with you and note in the quotation first.

How do I see it before deciding?

Counters, users and any extra outlets set the cost, along with barcode scanners to connect and the payment or accounting link you want. Old serial lists and exchange balances to carry over add work. A demonstration runs a sale through to a warranty claim on sample batteries. The written proposal that follows prices each part separately.

How long before the counter is selling through it?

Stock by serial, counter billing with exchange rebate and the sale record are what a counter needs on a busy morning, so they are placed before other parts. Warranty cases, garage accounts and the old battery register follow. Brand scheme tracking and charging jobs close the build. Timing for each stage sits in the proposal.

What does a dealer need to hand over?

Hand over the stock list with serial or date codes, the garage and electrician balances, and the register of old batteries taken in exchange. A bill with rebate, a warranty slip and a brand scheme circular show how you work. The owner, counter lead, bench technician and accounts clerk each need time set aside. Barcode scanner models and accounting package access are worth confirming.
