Software for Paints
Shade-based paint trade with tinting machines, pack sizes and batch shelf life.
Paint retail revolves around a tinting machine that turns base product into thousands of shades on demand. Stock is really base and colorant rather than finished shades. Pack sizes multiply the catalogue, batches carry shelf life, and a customer returning for a matching top-up expects the same shade months later.
What gets in the way
- Stock is base and colorant, but customers buy shades
- Tinting formula must be recorded so a shade can be reproduced later
- Multiple pack sizes multiply the effective catalogue
- Batch shelf life limits how long stock can be held
- Contractor credit and discount structures differ from retail
What the software handles
- Base and colorant stock with tinting consumption
- Shade formula recorded against the customer for repeat matching
- Pack-size level pricing and stock
- Batch and shelf-life tracking
- Contractor pricing and credit separate from retail
What changes
- Repeat shade matched from a recorded formula
- Base and colorant consumption reconciled to shades sold
- Shelf-life stock rotated before it expires
