Wholesale trade of painting supplies and floor coverings

The pressure to digitalize is growing

The big players on the market have been doing it for a long time: they have consistently digitalized their processes. They avoid cost-intensive and time-consuming manual processes wherever they can. Their strength is their efficiency.

Make your processes more digital and efficient

Digitalization opens up immense advantages for you. The time of paper-based processes is over when it comes to the wholesale trade of painting supplies. Carrying slips of paper around the company belongs to yesterday. If you want to survive on the market tomorrow, you’ll have to be digitally prepared for the future.

Logistics need more transparency

Painting companies are becoming more demanding. A wholesaler of painting supplies can only deliver an order on time if he can easily track where his goods are at the moment. With an outdated paper economy, you’d be fighting a losing battle.

Ensure permanent availability

Digitalize your logistics and accelerate your processes. Today’s tradesmen demand that paint wholesalers have a perfect grip on issues such as storage, permanent availability, and high delivery intervals.

Order picking for a growing variety of products

When it comes to wholesale, the range is growing – from paint supplies to carpet sales. Many wholesalers of paint supplies now also stock floor coverings. Some even have construction-industry chemicals, because painters now also fill and plaster walls.

Simplify all your processes

With gevis ERP for wholesale trade, you book the process digitally and automatically. From the order entry, to the assembly order for the “paint master”, to the delivery. In the same way, you record every batch, every roll and every cut for floor coverings.

Business projects and special purchases

Business projects are a major revenue generator. The industry is lowering the purchase prices more and more frequently: through special purchases (SEKs). There is currently a strong shift toward a downstream reimbursement at the end of the project.

Secure the margins - motivate the sales force

You need to take this hidden margin protection into account. You can do this with our gevis industry solution. Even without making SEKs internally transparent. You’ll thereby retain the motivation of your sales team.

Highly efficient, end-to-end digitalized processes

Your advantages

From inventory management to order entry, and order picking to delivery: you’ll implement a digital, continuous and highly efficient process.

All relevant data such as price groups and shades of color are entered directly into the order – and thus in the master data. They’ll immediately be available for the next order.

You can record and maintain price groups directly when you enter the order. This will be noted on the item. Of course, you can also enter the price groups on the item itself.

You can now separately record the color hues and bases that are in stock. This means that you’ll always have an overview of which colors a customer has reserved and which bases are still available.

Quantities can be recorded when sold – based on their dimensions. gevis ERP converts this directly into linear meters and square meters to identify the appropriate roll.

You’ll be able to see exactly which batches and even which individual rolls are still available c/o your inventory view.

gevis ERP allows you to maintain a minimum stock level directly on the flooring items – so you’ll always have a roll with a minimum length in stock.

When order picking carpets, you can confirm each cut and allowance line individually – and change the roll if necessary, though not the batch.

Upon receipt of goods, you can quickly and easily register each new roll and record the quantity – depending on the manufacturer – in linear meters or square meters.

Our gevis industry solution provides you with everything from a single source, without interface problems or programming efforts. We’ll even take over the operations in the cloud for you.

Wholesale trade of painting supplies: Cloud means the future

In the past, business-critical systems were always operated on-premises, i.e. directly on site, in your own server room. But the future of your IT systems lies in the cloud. Digitalization and stepping into the cloud are closely aligned with each other. Today, paint wholesalers sometimes choose hybrid operating models: some of the systems remain on-site, while others are already running in the cloud. Our gevis industry solution opens up all the options for you – and it will grow with the requirements of your business.

Our cloud-based system for the wholesale trade of paint supplies and floor coverings is very quick for you to use. There are no more long delivery times for new hardware, and no more large server racks in the basement. Plus, the servers in our Microsoft Azure Cloud have an unmatched availability of 99.99 percent and more.

Advantages

  • Quickly ready for use and productive
  • Almost no more outages
  • Own infrastructure and server rooms become unnecessary
  • Fire protection, air conditioning and access security - no longer an issue

Scalability

Unlike your hardware in the server rack, you can add capacity to the cloud at short notice. The cloud operation scales with your requirements.
