Keep your pipework flowing with ERP Software that plumbs precision
Purpose-built software for Plumbers’ Merchants.
You stock hundreds of small fittings, valves, and some bulky high-ticket equipment. Combine that with service-level expectations, fluctuating commodity prices, and multi-channel sales: plumbing wholesale needs real-time pricing, dynamic stock, and flexible ordering.

Our role in your industry
Klipboard’s role in the Plumbers’ Merchant Industry
From local branches to national suppliers, we empower plumbing distributors to master their operations.
We help them unify and manage inventory across van, online, and physical channels. This includes controlling min/max stock, tracking volatile commodity prices, supporting complex trade account pricing, and driving efficiency at the counter.
The challenges you face
We understand the challenges you’re facing
You’re not just moving plumbing materials - you’re managing customer expectations and orders, your supply-chain, complex quoting, fluctuating pricing, rebates, and operational pressure all at once. Having worked closely with Plumbers’ Merchants for decades, we understand the reality you’re facing:
- SKU diversity & small parts: Fast-moving inventory with complex categorisation.
- Commodity price fluctuations: Copper, brass, plastics – margins need protection.
- Trade account pricing: Volume-based and job-specific deals.
- Mobile counter & van integration: Sales happen anywhere – your ERP must be accessible.
- Order mix complexity: Multi-line, multi-location fulfilment is the norm.
We’ve seen it, we’ve heard it - and we’ve built our range of Klipboard ERP solutions to help you take control of it.
