Websites for electrical and plumbing wholesalers: your products on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first
You already keep your products up to date for the national wholesalers' apps. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to score 100 on Google's own test, where an electrician or plumber finds the product, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.
What it is like now
- Contractors price a job at night and you are closed.
- Your counter staff know the stock; the website knows nothing.
- The nationals have an app and you have a phone number.
What we build for trade wholesalers
- Full catalogue with technical data sheets, live branch stock and account pricing
- Quote builder for job lists, saved and turned into orders
- Collection slots and delivery tracking
- Account statements and invoices online, so the phone stops ringing about them
What it looks like in practice
Contractors price a job at night and the wholesaler is closed; the nationals have an app. We build a full catalogue with technical data sheets, live branch stock and account pricing, a quote builder that turns a job list into an order, collection slots and delivery tracking, and account statements and invoices online so the phone stops ringing about them.
What a website costs for electrical and plumbing wholesalers
Most trade wholesalers need the Platform tier, from €20,000, delivered in 10 to 14 weeks, paid 40 / 40 / 20, or 12 monthly payments. That includes your products fed from your own system, a page per product, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, 100/100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.
After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, backups, updates, monitoring, unlimited content edits and two hours of development a month, cancel any month. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €350 and the free audit names them.
Typical ticket for a product in your trade is €100 to €10,000 an order; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the national wholesalers' apps covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.
Questions trade wholesalers ask
- Contractors need data sheets and certificates.
- Attached to every product and searchable, with the manufacturer's sheet kept up to date from their feed.
- Can a job list become an order?
- Yes. Build the list, price it against the account, save it, order it in one click when the job is won.
- We need collection slots so the counter is not swamped.
- Slots per branch with a cut-off, and an SMS when the order is picked.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers
- Where is the work actually done?
- Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
- Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
- You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
- What happens on day 31?
- The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
- Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
- You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote.
- What does Google's own speed test say about it?
- 100/100 at launch on every build we ship, or you do not pay the final instalment. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site, right now.
