The problem it solves
When product and price information lives in different places — one list for sales, another for the website, a spreadsheet for the supplier — things drift out of sync and customers get quoted the wrong number. And most “product catalogues” fall over the moment you need wholesale tiers, account-specific pricing or accurate cost. Zulu’s Product Database is one catalogue with genuine pricing depth that feeds sales, stock, quoting and your website.
What it does
Catalogue
- SKU and vendor SKU, descriptions, rich imagery, variants under a parent product
- Categories, brands and tags, with a queryable taxonomy
- A web URL per product for the connected store
Pricing that handles real businesses
- Retail price plus a special (sale) price that takes precedence when set
- Seven wholesale tiers you can rename to match your business (Trade, Distributor, VIP…)
- Quantity price breaks — automatic discounts at volume
- Client-specific price books — custom pricing per customer
- CostPlus automatic markup pricing
- Cost intelligence — purchase price, weighted-average cost and latest-landed cost, maintained by the system (4-decimal precision for accurate conversions and COGS)
- A full audit trail of every price change
Use cases
A distributor sets tiered wholesale pricing and account-specific price books, with landed cost driving true margin. A retailer runs time-limited specials across the catalogue. An importer relies on weighted-average costing for valuation. A small shop adds a product in seconds with just a name and price.
How it connects
The Product Database underpins Inventory (cost and stock), Point of Sale, Quoting, Invoicing and the Website — change a price once and it’s right everywhere, for every customer tier.
