String Instrument E-commerce & Single-Piece Sales Software

This solution treats every violin, sitar or veena as a single item with its own recording, photographs and trial period. It suits sellers who let buyers choose the exact instrument. It is written for your business alone and can link to an existing shop stock system.

Product status

Custom software solution, built to your requirements

No GullySystem product sells one-of-a-kind instruments with recordings, trials and hand-picking. It would be written for you from scratch, and the shop’s counter system can stay as it is.

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

Each instrument is its own record, because two violins of the same model do not sound or look alike. The buyer can hear and see the one they will receive.

The system records trials, setup and sizes. It does not appraise, grade or authenticate any instrument.

Modules

What is in the system.

Single-piece listing

One listing per instrument, with its own photographs, recording and condition notes.

Trial period

A timed trial with a hold on the piece and a clear route to buy or return.

Size and fit guide

Fractional violin sizes and instrument dimensions matched to a player’s measurements.

Setup record

Strings, bridge, soundpost and adjustments recorded for each piece.

Teacher and school accounts

A trade login with a shortlist of pieces for a student.

Workflows

How the work runs through it.

Choose and hear

A buyer listens to a recording of a piece, asks the luthier about its wood, its age and any repairs, and places a hold that lasts a stated number of days.

Trial and decide

The instrument ships under a trial. The buyer buys, returns or asks for a different piece.

Recommended by a teacher

A teacher shortlists several pieces for a student, and the family picks one.

Catalogue and product data

What each product record holds.

Per-piece media

Recordings and several photographs sit with each piece, not with the model.

Sizes

Fractional sizes and body measurements are fields that filters can use.

Condition

Repairs, cracks and past restoration are stated plainly beside each piece.

Pricing and order rules

How prices and orders are set.

Price per piece

Each instrument carries its own price, since two of one model need not cost the same.

Deposit for trial

A refundable deposit or a card hold is taken for the trial period, as the payment provider allows.

Trade prices

A teacher or school sees agreed rates for shortlisted pieces.

Stock and fulfilment

From stock to the doorstep.

Holds

A piece is held for one buyer for a stated time.

Packing

A fitted case and padded box, with photographs of the packed instrument.

Return receipt

A returned piece is checked against the setup record before it is listed again.

Payments, returns and refunds

Taking money and giving it back.

Payments

The order or the deposit is paid through your gateway account.

Returns

A return inside the trial follows your written terms. Any refund goes back by the original payment method.

Admin controls and reporting

What the team can see and change.

Trial board

Pieces on trial, due dates and outcomes.

Stock

Pieces by type, size and status.

Integrations

What it connects to, and on what terms.

Shop stock

Passes each piece’s status to the counter system, where one exists, after that system’s export or API is verified.

Deposits

The gateway you hold must be able to take a refundable deposit or place a card hold. That is confirmed before the trial flow is built.

Courier

A carrier is chosen for fitted cases and fragile parcels. Its booking link is scoped after its coverage is read.

Deployment

How it is set up and run.

Hosting

Hosting follows your preference, either our managed servers or an account of your own.

Rollout

Single-piece listing goes live first. Trials and trade accounts follow.

Customisation boundaries

What can change, and where the edge is.

What can change

Trial length, deposit rules, size fields and hold times follow your practice.

Where the edge is

Appraisal, authentication and repair stay with your luthiers.

Migration and training

Moving over and getting people ready.

Bringing pieces over

Existing photographs and notes come across, and a luthier walks the shelves to confirm them.

Training

Sessions for advisers and luthiers on trials and setup records.

Support scope

What support covers.

Covered

Fixes to listings and to the trial flow. The agreement lists support hours and who to call.

Priced apart

A new channel, a new market or a change to the trial model is estimated on its own.

What already exists.

Electronics and Appliance Retail Software

Serial-number stock, warranty and service records, finance schemes, exchanges and billing for electronics and appliance dealers.
