ERP for trading industries

ERP for trading industries, configured the way you trade

Square Loop is built for trading, and trading looks different in every industry. Define your own item attributes, units of measure, price lists and approval rules, all without custom code.

Tiles, Ceramics & Sanitaryware

ERP for tile and sanitaryware businesses

Tiles are bought by the square metre, stored in boxes and quoted by the square foot. Square Loop converts between them automatically and can dispatch on full boxes, so you never break a carton by accident. Search thousands of designs by size, finish and thickness. Offer alternatives on one quotation with option groups, hold stock for a project before the order is signed, and track samples sent to architects and contractors until they come back or turn into a sale.

Key features

  • unit conversion (sq m / box / sq ft)
  • pack-based delivery
  • item attributes
  • quotation option groups
  • sample tracking
  • referrer (architect/contractor) tracking
  • project price lists
