Hardware and Building Supplies E-commerce & Trade Software

Search runs on specifications, items sell by piece, pack, weight or load, and contractors order against dated rates and account limits. That is the store this solution configures for hardware and building supply sellers, on a commerce system chosen at scoping.

Configured implementation on a commerce platform chosen in discovery

A commerce system selected at scoping runs the store, extended for specification search and trade accounts. The yard side can already run on a GullySystem product, which is linked on its own.

There is no published price, free trial or live demo for this solution. Scope and cost are settled in a written proposal after discovery.

Purpose and users

Buyers filter by what they need, and the seller prices what leaves the yard. One catalogue serves a homeowner and a contractor, each through a view that suits them and hides what they should not see.

It covers the store, trade ordering and delivery records. It does not issue tax documents or certify goods.

Modules

What is in the system.

Storefront with specification filters

Filters built from item fields, so a buyer finds an item by size, grade or finish.

Unit and pack pricing

One item, several units, each priced clearly.

Rate lists

Dated rates for each kind of buyer, with old bills keeping old rates.

Trade accounts

Accounts, sites, limits and statements for contractors.

Delivery records

Delivery notes and signed proof for loads sent out.

Workflows

How the work runs through it.

Filter to basket

A buyer narrows by specification, picks a unit and adds the item. The basket shows the unit price and the total.

Contractor order

A contractor orders for a named site at dated rates. An order above the limit is held for the owner.

Load to proof

A load goes out with a delivery note. Proof of receipt joins the note in the order file.

Catalogue and product data

What each product record holds.

Specification fields by family

Each family carries its own fields, so a fastener and a sealant are described differently.

Bulk import

Ranges are loaded from supplier sheets and reviewed by an editor before they appear, so a thousand new items do not mean a thousand screens of typing.

Documents

Data sheets and safety sheets attached to the item where the maker supplies them.

Pricing and order rules

How prices and orders are set.

Dated rates

Each item’s rate carries a start date.

Quantity breaks

Price breaks by pack, box or weight.

Quotations

A quotation with a validity date turns into an order once the buyer accepts it, and the accepted rates stay on the record even if the price list moves the next morning.

Stock and fulfilment

From stock to the doorstep.

Stock by location

Counts by shelf, shop and yard, read from your stock system on an agreed schedule.

Picking lists

Lists for small items, grouped by shelf.

Part loads

Quantity not yet sent remains outstanding until the next load.

Payments, returns and refunds

Taking money and giving it back.

Payments

Online payment for walk-in buyers, and credit or transfer for accounts.

Returns

Goods checked against the delivery note before credit.

Credit notes

Issued against the right invoice and site.

Admin controls and reporting

What the team can see and change.

Roles

Each role opens only its own screens.

Approvals

Orders past a limit and discounts wait for the owner.

Reports

Sales by family, account ageing and loads delivered.

Integrations

What it connects to, and on what terms.

Trading product

Linked to GullySystem’s Building Material Trading Software where the yard runs it.

Supplier sheets

Price and range files imported on a schedule.

Transport

Booking and tracking for carriers whose access is confirmed.

Deployment

How it is set up and run.

Owned by you

Opened under your ownership and looked after by us if you ask.

Family by family

One family goes live, and the others follow once it holds.

Customisation boundaries

What can change, and where the edge is.

What can change

Specification fields, units, quotation layout and approval steps follow your trade.

Where the edge is

Tax documents and goods certification stay with the people who issue them.

Migration and training

Moving over and getting people ready.

Range import

Items arrive from your sheets or old system, then are sampled against the shelves.

Training

A session for editors and one for the yard.

Support scope

What support covers.

Scope

Catalogue help and small fixes sit in the support terms, with contacts named.

Outside scope

A new market, a marketplace link or a redesign needs its own quotation.

Subcategory coverage

Where each hardware & building supplies subcategory is covered.

Each subcategory is either covered by this solution or has a page of its own where its software requirements differ.

Fasteners
Its own solution page
A very large specification-driven range, weight and count units and batch certificates need a different catalogue model than general hardware.
Locks
Covered on this page
Fit fields, keying options and restricted records are catalogue and access settings, so the category solution covers them.
Door Hardware
Covered on this page
Set building, finish fields and project splits are catalogue and ordering settings that the category solution covers.
Adhesives & Sealants
Covered on this page
Batch and expiry fields, shipping flags and attached documents are settings in the category solution, with no separate system.
Building Materials
Its own solution page
Heavy loads, dated rates, credit limits and proof of delivery are already run by an existing GullySystem product, so this page has a different status.
