Building MaterialsWhat stands in the way

Building materials are specified by one person, bought by another and delivered to a third. Suppliers lose orders when prices and stock need a phone call, and when a specifier cannot find the data sheet at the moment of decision.

01The pressure

Where suppliers lose orders and specifications

Five problems that are common in this industry, and what we build against each one.

01

Orders taken by phone and fax

Trade customers call in orders, and staff type them into the system.

What we build

B2B ordering portals

We build ordering with customer prices, quick reorder, delivery booking and order history.

02

Product data that is hard to find

Specifiers search for technical sheets, certificates and details across old pages.

What we build

Product catalogs

We build catalogues with technical data, downloads and comparison, organised the way specifiers search.

03

Quotes prepared by hand

Project quantities are priced in a spreadsheet and sent days later.

What we build

Quote systems

We build quoting from project lists, with rules for volume and delivery and conversion to an order.

04

Dealers working from old lists

Merchants use outdated prices and stock information.

What we build

Dealer portals

We build dealer access to current prices, promotions, marketing material and orders.

05

Stock that cannot be checked

Customers order, then learn of a back-order.

What we build

Inventory views

We build stock and lead time by depot, shown at the point of order, with alternatives when an item is short.

02All in one studio

Everything we build for building materials

Design, engineering and AI in one team, so the website, the apps, the back office and the agents are made to work together.
