Timber merchant trade ordering & cut list software
Timber merchants: trade orders without the phone tag. Cut lists in, orders out.
Cut lists faxed or texted, trade prices looked up by hand and deliveries booked on a whiteboard. We build trade ordering systems for timber merchants.
Looking for timber trade ordering software?
Builders and tradies want to send a cut list and get it delivered. We build ordering systems that take cut lists, apply trade pricing and book deliveries.
Wollopit builds project portals, compliance registers, quoting tools and websites for timber merchants around how your sites actually run. We connect the systems you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so the office and the site finally see the same numbers.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your timber merchant: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, 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.
07Questions
FAQ
Things timber merchants ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it connect to our POS or ERP?
Usually, yes. We integrate with common trade POS and accounting systems so stock and orders stay in sync.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your timber merchant. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can it work alongside the software we already use?
Usually, yes. We connect to your accounting, project and rostering tools and only replace what's holding you back. If something should go we'll explain why before anything changes.
Will it work on site with bad reception?
Yes. Field tools can save everything on the device and sync when the phone finds signal again, so nobody loses a docket or a photo.
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 timber merchants 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.
