Tile merchant software that delivers the goods

As a tile merchant, we know that once you lose the quality, you lose the work. That's why we’ve created software for tile merchants so you can offer your customers a better experience with your business whilst ensuring ease of use, precision and control. It’s easy to place orders with the required measurements, track your stock in real time, and optimise warehouse management. But there’s so much more. With one click, you have all the tools you need.

Tile-specific sales order processing


Your ERP system must help you meet customer’s needs. That's why our industry-specific software for tile distributors gives you a bespoke sales order process screen that allows you to order tiles according to square metre coverage or any other metric. Also, with rich data fields, intuitive operation, and photographic displays, you get the right item the first time.

  • The quick & easy sales order interface management provides instant search access to every record type.
  • Deliver great customer service and maximise sales with promotions, alternatives & complementary products.
  • Give repeat customers a tailored service by identifying previous sales preferences, including batches sold.

Profitable & confident stock control


Satisfying customer demands while optimising your stock levels, cash flow and profit margins isn’t easy. That’s why our software makes it easy to see how your stock is selling or holding its value. Plus, you can easily rebalance stock levels, with sophisticated inter-branch logistics helping you handle replenishments and move stock where you need it.

  • See your entire stock holding in real-time - whether it’s sitting in warehouses or in-store, ready for sale.
  • Confidently forecast with analysis on any item, including its performance, batch detail, and business cost.
  • Set your own min/max levels for each item, so you never run out of stock, and always sell at a profit.

Instead of sales staff working out tile shipping requirements by hand, they simply input the length and width into K8 Trader to instantly learn how many tiles and boxes they need. It’s a very intelligent system, yet so simple in how it helps us maximise sales.

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 tile distribution 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 upon your past performance and seasonality factors.
  • System-generated recommended stock purchase orders together with back-to-back linking of sales to purchase orders.
  • Enjoy a fully comprehensive ordering system with menus that allow you to see all aspects of your supply chain.

Powerful batch control helps you meet customer demand


Moving and selling different batches no longer needs to be confusing. Our tile business management software knows what products belong to which batches. That way, you can pick up and examine an item controlled by background batch controls at any point. And you’ll receive system prompts about any files that might be missing with any particular batch.

  • Batch numbers can be auto-allocated for ease of use, and you assign them via simple word searches.
  • However you assign controls, our software tracks all sales so you can see who bought a batch.
  • Even better, you can run a trace to see the origin of any particular batch.
