Maximize sales with the right alternatives and kits
Our software is designed to provide powerful functionality that suggests alternative products for any items that may be discontinued or out of stock. With product comparison data available on the screen, both customers and users can easily access all the necessary information to make the right choices.

See, track & control every batch
It is crucial to ensure that plumbing and heating products with batch numbers are sold along with accurate test certificates. With our software, you can avoid the hassle and cost of manual administration, as it automatically tracks these items. This enables you to allocate your staff resources where they are most needed and focus on running your business smoothly.
- Receive automatic prompts that notify you about any missing certificates or files.
- Know what products belong to which batches, so you can always see an item controlled by background batch controls.
