EPOS software for independent plumbing merchants
Plumbing and heating turns on availability. Half the counter conversation is whether you have it, when you can get it, and whether it is the right part. PlanIt EPOS keeps promises visible so nobody has to remember them.

What it handles
How PlanIt EPOS works for plumbing merchants
Each of these is a working part of the platform, not a roadmap item.
Customer accounts
Credit accounts for the installers who buy every day, with statements, allocated payments and aged balances you can act on.
Quotations
Price a bathroom or a boiler swap as a quote, send it, and convert it to an order when the customer confirms.
Click & collect
Take the order, reserve the goods, and mark it ready. The customer gets a message; the counter sees exactly what is waiting and who it belongs to.
Special orders
Order-in lines are tracked from customer request through to purchase order, delivery and collection, so a promised part is never a note on the desk.
Purchasing
Raise purchase orders directly from outstanding customer orders and low-stock suggestions, then book the delivery in against the order.
On a normal day
Three situations this was designed around
Software for trade is judged on the awkward moments, not the demo path.
An installer needs a part you do not stock
It is raised as a special order against their account, placed on a purchase order, and marked ready for collection when it arrives — with the customer told automatically.
A bathroom quote turns into an order
The quote converts to a sales order with every line and price intact, stock is reserved, and the balance sits on the customer’s account until collection.
A trade counter goes quiet at 4pm
Reporting shows which fittings moved this week and which have not moved for ninety days, so shelf space follows demand.
Questions
Plumbing merchants: common questions
How are special orders handled?
A special order line is raised against the customer, linked to the purchase order it will be fulfilled by, and tracked through delivery to collection. The counter can see at a glance which customer orders are waiting on which supplier delivery.
Can customers pay a deposit and collect later?
Yes. Part payments are supported: the balance sits on the customer’s account and the remaining amount is settled on collection.
Does it work for a merchant with a showroom as well as a counter?
Yes. Quotations, reservations and click & collect cover the showroom side, while the trade counter runs the fast till workflow. Both draw on the same stock and the same customer records.

We will run the demo using your product types, your pricing structure and your account terms — so you are judging it on your own business, not a sample one.
