Pressure points

Key Challenges for Building Material Suppliers and Distributors

Automation brings structure to project based work where enquiries, deliveries, and claims are deeply linked.

Unstructured Enquiries and BOQs

Enquiries, BOQs, and drawings arrive by phone, chat, and email with details scattered across formats and people, which makes follow ups and approvals difficult to track.

Stock Mismatches and Allocation Confusion

Material availability across godowns and brands is not always clear, which leads to over commitments, urgent substitutions, and last minute sourcing pressure.

Complex Bulk Dispatch and Site Deliveries

Planning loads, routes, and delivery slots for multiple sites is hard when dispatch instructions live in informal notes and calls.

Vendor and Principal Dependency

Suppliers depend on brand principals or upstream vendors for material and approvals, but updates and delays are not always visible to sales and logistics teams.

Scattered Communication with Contractors and Builders

Site engineers, contractors, and builders call or message multiple people for updates, which creates duplicate work and confusion about the latest status.

Limited View of Service Quality and Account Health

Leadership has little structured visibility into claims, delays, shortages, and feedback across projects, accounts, and branches.
