One system for shoe stock by size and width, bench billing, fit returns and branch transfers.
Run a footwear store on one record per box. Every style is held by size, width and colour, with the pairs on the shelf, in the back room and on order. Billing scans the box at the bench. Fit returns, transfers between outlets and supplier orders built from the size curve all draw on the same stock, from oxford and derby lines to sneakers and sandals.
- Styles, size runs and widths entered the way your stock is bought
- Current stock and price list loaded from your spreadsheet or billing export
- Changes to brand and size lists handled by GullySystem staff when asked
Footwear Store Management Software holds stock by size, width and colour for shops from a single counter to a dozen outlets. Each box carries its own barcode. Sales, fit returns, transfers and supplier orders all adjust the same counts, which owners, floor staff, cashiers and buyers read.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Ordering
Ordering is built from the record. A supplier order is drawn up by style and size run, using last season’s sales by size as the starting point and the rejected widths as a warning.
- 2
Receiving
A carton is opened against its packing list. Staff scan each box and compare the label with the shoe inside, and any mismatch, torn polybag or missing insole card is flagged before shelving.
- 3
Shelving and tagging
Boxes get a barcode and a price. Then each goes to the shelf, the back room or the window display, with shoetrees and tissue paper left where the maker packed them.
- 4
Selling
The cashier scans the box that was fetched. The pair is billed, and the size, width and colour sold come off that outlet’s count while the floor person who fetched it is credited.
- 5
Returns and transfers
Returns carry a reason code. A pair goes back to the shelf, to a cobbler for a resole, or to the supplier, and pairs requested by another outlet are moved on a transfer note.
- 6
Season close
Slow styles, odd pairs and broken size runs are listed together for markdown, and the final stock, including sandals and wellington boots, is carried forward to next season.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Product Management
Each style carries sizes, widths and colours as separate lines, so the shelf can answer for size eight in a narrow fit with a suede upper.
- Goods Receipt (GRN)
A carton is opened against its packing list and each box is scanned. A wrong label, torn polybag or short pair is set aside before shelving.
- Barcodes and Labels
A label per box carries the style code, size and retail price, and it is reprinted when a markdown changes the price on the swing tag.
- Point of Sale Billing
The cashier scans the box the floor staff fetched, takes payment and prints a receipt, and that size drops from the outlet’s count straight away.
- Sales Returns and Credit Notes
A returned pair is logged with its reason, whether narrow, loose or a sole fault, and goes back to the shelf, a cobbler or the supplier.
- Multi-Outlet Stock
Floor staff can see a size held in another outlet, request one pair, and watch it travel until the receiving shelf accepts it.
- Purchase Order Management
A supplier order is drafted by style and size run, with last season’s sales per size shown beside each quantity as a guide.
- Commission and Incentives
Each pair is credited to the person who fetched it, and the monthly incentive follows the rule the owner has set for the floor team.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
The shop in numbers. Pairs sold by style and size, stock held in each outlet, returns by reason and the markdown list for the season are read from one place on Monday morning.
On the shop floor
Check before fetching. A size is looked up across the shelf, the back room and other outlets before anyone climbs the ladder, and the screen shows what the customer tried last time.
At the cashier’s bench
One screen is enough. The cashier scans the box, bills the pair, takes payment and handles an exchange without opening a second window or walking to the manager’s desk.
For buyers
The curve decides. The buyer reads sales by size across seasons, with the widths that came back for fit marked, and the next supplier order is built from that, from nubuck boots to canvas plimsolls.
In the stock room
Receiving is the job. Staff open cartons, resolve label mismatches, move pairs between shelves and outlets, and keep odd pairs separate from the saleable rows, so the closing count matches the scanner.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Pairs sold by style, size and width
- Sizes out of stock in active styles
- Fit returns by reason and style
- Transfers requested, in transit and received
- Odd pairs, display pairs and scuffed boxes
- Sell-through by brand for the season
- Slow styles and broken size runs for markdown
Who this is built for.
- Single-outlet shoe shops with a deep size range
- Multi-branch footwear chains with transfers between outlets
- Family shoe stores stocking school, sports and formal ranges
- Sports shoe and sneaker retailers with frequent drops
- Stores that stock several brands from distributors
When it is not the right choice.
- A stall selling a few styles in a handful of sizes can manage on a counter register, with no size grid worth keeping and no second outlet to transfer from.
- A footwear factory handling cutting, lasting and sole attachment will find a manufacturing system fits better than a retail one, because lasts and cutting dies are tooling, not stock.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Does it hold stock by size or only by style?
By size, width and colour. Each combination is a separate line with its own barcode, so a shortage in one size shows as soon as the last pair is billed at the bench.
What happens when a box label does not match the shoe?
The stock keeper flags the box at receiving and holds it aside with a note. The supplier list then shows which cartons carried mismatches, so any claim to the distributor rests on scanned detail rather than memory.
Can we record why a pair came back?
Yes. The return carries a reason such as narrow fit, loose heel, squeaking sole or a loosened upper, and the buyer reads those reasons by style before the next order is placed.
How do transfers between outlets work?
The requesting outlet asks for a size and the sending outlet picks the pair. The transfer shows as in transit until it is received and shelved, so the pair is never counted in two places at once.
How are odd pairs and display shoes kept out of the count?
Each is registered as odd or display and held in its own list. Neither is billed at the bench until a person moves it back into saleable stock.
Can the system suggest what to order next season?
It shows sales by size from past seasons beside current stock, and the order is drafted from that view. The buyer still decides the quantities for every style. Nothing is ordered automatically.
We buy from several distributors with different packing styles. Is that covered?
Yes. Each distributor has its own pack sizes and size runs on file. Cartons are received against the packing list that came with them, whether the shoes are boxed singly or by size run.
Can staff be paid on the pairs they sell?
Yes. Each sale is credited to the person who served, and the incentive rule you set is applied at month end. Your accountant decides any tax treatment of the payout.
What will it cost for our shop?
Outlets, bench counters and the number of styles on your racks shape the figure. We walk your shelves and size runs first, then put the quotation on paper.
Can we take our stock records out later?
Yes. Your style lists, counts and sales history come out as spreadsheets, and the owner signs off the layout before anything is built, so nothing is held back.
