Plumbers merchant software that helps you maximise sales

Maximise sales with the right alternatives & kits

Our ERP software for plumbing and heating merchants' can suggest alternatives for items that may be discontinued or out of stock. With product comparison data on screen, both customers and users have all the details to make the right choices. Additionally, you can create bespoke kits on the fly, saving time by bundling those parts needed for a successful outcome.

  • Reduce a one-hundred product order down to a single line via the creation of a custom kit.
  • Include question prompts and create bespoke kits for your customer, helping you capture more sales and improve service.

Optimal performance depends on seamless communication between the warehouse and the trade counter and everything in that regard has improved massively since we started using KCS plumbing software.

Plumbers merchant software that gives you complete batch control

See, track and control every batch

It’s important that batch-numbered plumbing and heating products are sold with the correct test certificates. Our software removes the time and expense of manual administration by tracking these items automatically. As a result, you can allocate staff resources where you need them most and get on with running your business.

  • Receive automatic prompts that notify you about any missing certificates or files.
  • Know what belongs to which batch and examine items controlled by background batch controls at any point.

Profitable purchase order features to achieve growth

Smart buying decisions are key to profitability. You don’t want to hold too much stock, but you also need to ensure you meet demand. Our software helps predict your inventory needs based on past sales and seasonality factors. Also, you source products only when there’s demand, with features for back-to-back, direct, and drop-ship orders to help maintain a healthy profit margin.

  • Predict your future stocking requirements based on your past performance and seasonality factors.
  • System-generated recommended stock orders together with back-to-back linking of sales to purchase orders.

Plumbers merchant software that helps you avoid over or under stocking

Avoid over or under-stocking

It’s vital to satisfy customer demand while protecting profit margins. But customer and market trends aren’t always predictable. However, you can avoid the pain of any over or under-stocking scenarios through the use of our smart restrict and replenish feature. That way, your customer is taken care of while your margins are protected.

  • Shield your last item and arrange for replenishment from an incoming order.
  • Ensure customer satisfaction by arranging for orders to be picked up in-store or delivered.
