Short answer: When choosing tile dealer software in Ahmedabad, check that it shows stock for each design by batch, shade and grade, counts cartons and loose pieces, tracks the orders you place with factories and the orders buyers place with you, records the LR number and transporter on each dispatch, and holds price lists and payment terms per buyer. Ask to see each of these on your own designs in the demo, and ask whether it runs on Cloud or On-Premise.
Ahmedabad dealers often buy from Morbi factories and sell to builders, contractors, architects and walk-in buyers across Gujarat. This checklist sits under our general ERP and CRM buyer's checklist for Ahmedabad, with the tile-specific questions added.
Why do tile dealers need different software from other traders?
A tile is not one item. The same design comes in sizes, finishes and grades, and two batches of it can differ in shade. A dealer who sells a 2,000-box project order needs it from one batch. General trading software counts "items" and misses this.
The other differences:
Stock is in cartons and pieces. Broken cartons and loose pieces are normal in a showroom.
Orders go two ways. You order from factories and take orders from buyers, often for the same design.
Dispatch comes by road. The buyer wants the truck and LR number, not "it has left".
Rates depend on the buyer. Builders, contractors and retail buyers pay different rates.
What should you check when choosing tile dealer software in Ahmedabad?
Take these questions into every demo. Ask the vendor to show the screen, not describe it.
Design master. Can one design hold size, finish, category and an image, and be marked discontinued?
Batch, shade and grade. Can I see one design split by batch or shade and grade?
Cartons. Can stock show cartons and loose pieces?
Booked stock. Does stock reduce when I confirm a buyer's order, before it ships?
Factory order status. Can I see whether my order with a factory is ready, half-ready or not ready?
Dispatch. Is the LR number and transporter saved on the delivery?
Price lists. Can I keep separate rates for builders, contractors and retail?
Payment terms and dues. Are terms saved per buyer, with dues I can follow up?
Leads and WhatsApp. Do portal enquiries and WhatsApp chats land in one place?
Deployment and price. Cloud or On-Premise, price per user, and the one-time implementation cost.
What should I ask about stock and orders?
Ask for a live example, not slides. Pick one of your fast designs and one slow one.
Show me current stock, stock after orders and stock after confirmed orders for this design.
Show me which buyer orders are booked against it.
Show me stock in cartons and pieces.
Export it to Excel so my accountant can check it.
This checklist only covers what to ask in a demo. For the deeper read on tracking design stock and ageing, see our tile dealer stock guide.

What should a tile dealer in Ahmedabad check before buying software?
Check that it keeps stock by design, batch, shade and grade, counts cartons and pieces, books stock against confirmed orders, tracks factory order status and LR dispatch, and holds price lists and payment terms per buyer. Ask to see each on your own data.
Can tile dealer software track stock in cartons and pieces?
It should. Ask the vendor to show a broken carton. The SAS tile page lists Product Carton Management, which tracks cartons and pieces (checked 19 Oct 2026).
Do tile dealers and tile manufacturers need different software?
Not always. Both need stock by design and batch, orders and dispatch. The SAS tile page says traders and dealers use the same modules as manufacturers (checked 19 Oct 2026).
Should a tile dealer choose Cloud or On-Premise software?
Cloud suits dealers who want staff to work from the showroom, godown and phone without a local server. On-Premise suits those who want data on their own server. SAS offers both; ask about the one-time setup fee for On-Premise.
What does SAS cost for a tile dealer?
₹300/user/month on Premium (40% off ₹500, GST extra, billed yearly), with a separate one-time implementation cost. Confirm with SAS which tile modules are included for your setup.
