GullySystem
Retail · Paint Dealer Management Software

One system for shade stock, tinting jobs, painter credit and scheme claims.

Run a paint shop from one set of records. Stock is held by brand, product, base and pack size, and every tinting job on the machine is saved with its shade code. Painters and contractors keep running accounts with their own rate slabs. Depot orders, scheme claims and credit notes are tracked, and GST invoices carry the pack and shade sold.

  • Brands, products, bases, pack sizes and shade cards loaded as you stock them
  • Painter and contractor accounts with their present balances brought across
  • Rate slabs and circular updates keyed in for you on request

Paint dealers hold the shade on the shelf and the shade on the machine in one system, which GullySystem sets up for the shop. Counter staff and the tinting operator work stock by brand, base and pack, dispensing jobs with shade codes, painter accounts and scheme claims. Each invoice carries the pack and shade sold. Set-up follows the brands you stock.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Shade codes are not kept against the customer

A painter returns for two more litres of the same colour from a flat painted last month. Nobody wrote the shade code down, so the match is guessed on the machine again.

Tinted packs become dead stock

A pack tinted for one customer cannot go back to the company. Once the order falls through, the pack sits on the shelf with no record of its shade or its age.

Base and tinter levels run out mid-job

The machine needs the right base pack and enough colourant in each canister. Both are counted by eye, so a dispensing job stops halfway through the afternoon rush.

Painter rates and credit are held in the head

Every painter and contractor has a different discount off list and a different credit habit. The counter boy quotes from memory, and the balance is argued at collection.

Scheme claims go unclaimed

Companies run slab, target and painter schemes through the year. Without a claim register, purchases that qualify are never put up and the credit note never arrives.

Stock is split between shop, godown and site

Packs sit on the shop shelf, in the godown and on a delivery that has gone out. Three counts exist, so the figure quoted at the counter is rarely the real one.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Enquiry at the counter

    A homeowner, painter or builder asks for a product and a colour. The counter reads out stock by brand, pack size and base, and works an estimate from the wall area.

  2. 2

    Shade selection

    The buyer picks a shade from the fan deck or a sample. The code, the product and the finish are saved against the customer and the site address.

  3. 3

    Tinting on the machine

    A dispensing job opens for the base pack and shade. The colourant goes in, the pack goes on the shaker, and the operator marks the job done.

  4. 4

    Billing

    A GST invoice lists each pack, its shade and the rate for that customer type. Payment is cash, UPI or card. It can also go to the painter account.

  5. 5

    Delivery to site

    Packs for a site leave on a challan with the vehicle and the person carrying them. What was signed for is matched back against the invoice.

  6. 6

    Follow-up and claims

    Repeat orders quote the saved shade code. Purchases that qualify for a company scheme go into the claim register and are followed to the credit note.

Modules

What is inside.

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

Stock by shade, base and pack

Count every item by brand, product, finish, base type and pack size, with shelf or godown location and a reorder level for each.

Learn more

Tinting machine jobs

Open a dispensing job for each pack tinted, holding the shade code, base pack, formula reference, operator and shaker time.

Learn more

Tinter and base stock

Watch colourant canisters and base packs as dispensing consumes them, with levels that fall as jobs are marked done.

Learn more

Shade code history

Keep the shade, product and finish bought by each customer and site, so a repeat order is matched rather than guessed.

Learn more

Quantity estimates

Work litres and sundries from wall area, number of coats and the product chosen, and save the estimate against the enquiry.

Learn more

Counter billing and rate slabs

Raise GST invoices with pack, shade and the rate slab for retail, painter or builder, and take cash, UPI or a card.

Learn more

Painter and contractor accounts

Hold a running account for each painter and contractor, with their rate slab, invoices, payments, cheques and sites worked.

Learn more

Company schemes and claims

Record slab, target and painter schemes, mark the purchases that qualify, and follow each claim to the credit note.

Learn more

Depot orders and receiving

Raise orders on the company depot or distributor, receive packs against them with batch numbers, and keep the supplier ledger.

Learn more

Site delivery and challans

Send packs to a site on a challan, note the vehicle and carrier, and match the signed copy back to the invoice.

Learn more

Returns, leakage and tinted packs

Log leaking tins, damaged packs, old batches and tinted packs nobody collected, so each one is settled or sold off.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

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

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    The godown counts each item by brand, product, finish, base type and pack size, with shelf location and a reorder level for every line.

  • Point of Sale Billing

    Counter staff raise GST invoices by pack and shade, apply the retail, painter or builder slab, and take cash, UPI or card.

  • Price Lists and Schemes

    Each customer type has its own rate slab on the counter bill, so a painter and a walk-in buyer are priced differently for the same pack.

  • Purchase Order Management

    Orders to the company depot or distributor are raised in the system, packs are received with batch numbers, and the supplier ledger stays current.

  • Sales Returns and Credit Notes

    Leaking tins, damaged packs, old batches and uncollected tinted packs are logged, so each is either settled with the supplier or sold off.

  • Contact & Account Management

    Every painter and contractor has a running account holding their rate slab, invoices, payments, cheques and the sites they have worked.

  • Credit Limits and Control

    The same painter and contractor accounts show invoices, payments and cheques side by side, so the counter knows what each one owes.

Services

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For owners

Read sales by brand and product, stock value in shop and godown, painter credit outstanding, scheme claims pending and tinted packs lying unsold.

For counter staff

Look up stock by pack size, give an estimate, raise invoices at the right rate slab and open a tinting job.

For the tinting operator

See the dispensing queue, the base pack and shade for each job, and the canisters running low.

For godown and delivery staff

Receive depot stock against orders, record batch numbers, pick packs for a challan and bring the signed copy back.

For accounts staff

Post painter payments and cheques, watch overdue accounts, and tally scheme credit notes against the claims put up.

Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A hardware shop that keeps a few tins of distemper and no tinting machine may not need this.
  • A painting contractor who buys paint rather than sells it should look at Painting Contractor Management Software.
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.

Your brands, products and pack sizes

The companies you deal in, their products and finishes, the base types and every pack size go in the way the shelf is arranged.

Rate slabs and credit practice

What retail buyers, painters, contractors and builders each pay, and how long credit runs, follow the practice the shop already has.

Tinting machine and shade cards

Which machine is on the counter, and which shade cards you work from, is settled while the system is being set up.

Accounts and balances migrated

Painter and contractor lists, their sites and their present balances come across from the register or software you use now.

Messages and payments

Invoices, statements and scheme notes reach the painter by WhatsApp, by SMS or by mail. Counter payments come by UPI or card.

Hosting across shops

GullySystem runs the hosting, so a second shop shares one painter list and can see what the other holds. Our staff load circular rate changes when asked.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Is this only for paint dealers?

Yes. Stock, tinting, painter credit and scheme claims are built around a paint counter. A hardware or building material shop should look at the Building Material Trading product.

Can stock be kept by base and pack size?

Yes. Each brand, product, base type and pack size carries its own count and shelf location, and anything below its reorder level shows on the owner screen.

Does it record tinting machine jobs?

Yes. Each dispensing job saves the shade code, the base pack, the operator and the time, and it reduces base and colourant stock when marked done.

Will it talk to the tinting machine itself?

No. The machine runs the company software, and the job is recorded here with its shade code and base. Any link to that software is checked before it is offered.

Can a customer shade be found again later?

Yes. The shade, product and finish sit against the customer and the site, so a repeat order is raised from the saved code.

How are painter and contractor accounts handled?

Each one has a rate slab and a running balance, with invoices, payments, cheques and the sites they are working on listed together.

What happens to tinted packs that are not collected?

They are held as a separate list with the shade and the date tinted, so the counter can offer one to the next buyer looking for that colour.

Can company scheme claims be tracked?

Yes. Qualifying purchases are marked against the scheme and the claim is followed to the credit note. What a company allows is for the company.

Can the figures reach Tally?

Not built in. Sales, purchase and credit figures stay readable here. A Tally export can be quoted once your accountant confirms the ledger layout.

Do we need this for a small single-counter shop?

Perhaps not yet. With no tinting machine and no credit, a register may still do. A free technology audit will say so plainly.

Wondering what it costs? Six questions give you a written scope and the buckets any quote should separate.
