Ecommerce solutions for Builder's Merchants

Helping builder's merchants who want to further their digital footprint & grow online.

DIY (B2C) & Trade (B2B) Customers

tradeit can cater for both audiences and tailor what the customer sees accordingly. Allow trade users to self-serve online by seeing credit limits, view/pay invoices, see their unique pricing and much more.

Complex Product Set

Capability to sell complex products like timber, bricks, block paving and artificial grass online, including products sold to cover an area.

Click & Collect / Reserve

Offer same day Click & Collect and/or Click & Reserve at any of your branches.

Branch Stock Checker

Show customers 'live' stock levels online of every product at every branch. Buffer levels for each can be controlled in the admin system to provide some allowance for sudden in-branch purchases, more popular items, or busier branches.

Tailored to Location

tradeit can adjust site content like pricing, stock availability, product set, offers, and more based on a user’s location or proximity to branch, meaning they see everything related to their nearest branch rather than a global view.

Multi-address Delivery

Allow customers to split orders to multiple delivery addresses meaning they can send materials to multiple sites from a single online order saving huge amounts of time on admin. Can also split items by availability (ship those in stock now and those on back order when available) or fulfilment type.

Fulfilment types

Offer customers a vast range of delivery options such as same day, next day, or 2-3 day, alongside Click & Collect/Reserve. By combining fulfilment types on an order you can even drop ship products direct from your suppliers.

Local Delivery

Route online orders to the nearest trade counter and fulfil them from branch stock. Delivery areas can be assigned to a branch and different costs associated with each relevant delivery type. Stock can even be moved between branches to fulfil orders
