Tile shop software: samples, room quotes & trade accounts
Tile shops: samples ordered, rooms quoted online. Sell more floor, count fewer boxes.
Customers asking how many boxes they need, samples walking out the door with no follow-up, tilers ringing for stock at 6am and a shade that doesn't match the last pallet. We build tile shop systems that quote rooms, chase samples, look after trade customers and track stock by batch. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for tile shop quoting or ecommerce software?
A tile shop serves two very different customers off the same pallets. Homeowners want to browse at night, take samples home, see it in a room and know how many boxes to buy. Tilers and builders want their pricing, a straight answer on stock and the same shade as last week. Most shops juggle that with a POS, a spreadsheet, a sample book on the counter and a phone that never stops.
Wollopit builds custom tile shop software around how your showroom and warehouse actually run. Room quotes calculate boxes with wastage and get saved so customers come back and buy. Samples get ordered online and followed up automatically. Trade accounts see their pricing and live stock by batch. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole tile shop, on one system.
These are the systems tile shops ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Room quotes
Measure the room. The boxes work themselves out.
Customers or staff enter room sizes and the quote builds itself with the right number of boxes, wastage and every add-on a tiler needs. Quotes are saved so the customer can come back next week and buy without starting again.

- Wastage by layout: straight, herringbone, diagonal
- Rounded up to full boxes
- Adhesive, grout, trims and sealer added
- Waterproofing for wet areas

Samples & follow-up

Every sample is linked to a customer, whether they ordered online or grabbed it from the counter. Follow-ups go out on their own with the quote, the matching grout and a nudge to book a visit.

- Counter samples logged in seconds
- Sample limits per customer
- Postage via Australia Post or StarShipIt

04How it changes
Before and after
A bathroom tile choice, wolloped.
Here's how one couple's bathroom could go. Every tile shop is different, so we map yours first.
Before
- Couple visits on Saturday and staff work out boxes by hand
- Samples go home in a paper bag with no name attached
- Quote scribbled on a pad and lost by Monday
- Nobody follows up so they buy somewhere else
- Their tiler rings for a top-up and gets a different batch
After
- They browse at home and see the tile on a bathroom floor
- Samples ordered online and posted the next day
- Room quote saved with boxes, grout and adhesive included
- A follow-up email brings them back to pay
- Their tiler tops up in the trade portal from the same batch

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your tile shop: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time at your counter, in the warehouse and on the phone with your trade customers, then work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your range, quotes, samples, trade pricing, batch stock, deliveries, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, like the room calculator, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things tile shops ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers work out how many boxes they need themselves?
Yes. The room calculator takes their measurements, adds wastage for the layout and rounds up to full boxes. It can add adhesive, grout and trims too so the quote is complete.
Can customers see tiles in a room?
Yes. We can add simple room visualisers so customers see tiles on a floor or wall before they order samples.
Can you track stock by batch and shade?
Yes. Stock is tracked by batch and the batch is saved against every order, so when a tiler needs a top-up you know exactly which batch to send.
Can tilers and builders get their own pricing?
Yes. Each trade account gets its own pricing, terms and order history, with live stock and two-tap reorders.
Do we have to switch our POS or online store?
No. If Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, Lightspeed or your stock system is doing its job, we build around it. If something's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
How much does a tile shop system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like a room calculator or sample ordering can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most tile shops we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
