Specification-Driven Quoting
Custom quoting applications built on clean product data handle sizes, colors, variants, and specification rules, so reps produce accurate quotes and orders without rekeying or calling the plant.

Building Materials Analytics & Software
Quote Faster, Price Smarter, Deliver Heavy Loads Right
Building materials manufacturers and distributors sell complex catalogs through contractors, dealers, and big-box retailers. Our team builds the product data, quoting tools, channel analytics, and delivery planning that keep that complexity from slowing sales or eroding margin.
What We Deliver
Where We Make the Difference
A single product line can come in dozens of sizes, colors, and specifications, sold at trade, dealer, and project prices with rebates layered on top. Heavy, bulky loads make every delivery costly. We clean up product and pricing data first, then build the tools and analytics your sales and dispatch teams rely on.
Contractor and Dealer Analytics
Trade pricing, contractor rebate programs, project registrations, and dealer sell-through sit in one data model, showing which channel partners and programs actually grow profitable volume.
Heavy-Load Delivery Planning
Route optimization and delivery analytics account for truck capacity, weight limits, jobsite windows, and unloading equipment, reducing partial loads, wasted trips, and missed delivery times.
Project Pipeline Tracking
Project tracking, architect and specifier relationship data, and bid history analytics show sales teams which jobs to pursue and why past bids were won or lost.
Our Approach
How We Deliver Building Materials
Step 1: Untangle Products and Pricing
We map your product hierarchy, price lists, rebate programs, and channel structure, then design a data and application blueprint that reflects how you really sell.
Step 2: Build Quoting and Pricing Tools
Quoting applications and pricing data models are built and tested against real products and representative orders before a single rep uses them.
Step 3: Connect Customers and Dealers
EDI links to big-box retail customers, dealer portals, and contractor ordering platforms are built and validated so orders arrive without rekeying.
Step 4: Equip the Field
Mobile tools for outside sales and delivery drivers connect to your core systems, putting pricing, stock, and delivery status in their hands on site.
Can you build a quoting tool that handles our product configurations?
Yes. We build quoting applications around your actual specification rules, variants, and price lists, and connect them to your ERP for order entry. The first step is usually cleaning product data, because a quote is only as accurate as the catalog behind it.
How do you tell whether a rebate program is working?
We join rebate accruals and payments with sales, pricing, and cost data by contractor, dealer, and region. That shows net margin after rebates and whether a program changed buying behavior or simply paid for volume you would have won anyway.
Do you work with both manufacturers and distributors?
Yes. Manufacturers usually start with catalog, quoting, and channel analytics, while distributors often start with delivery planning and branch inventory. The data model lets both views share product and customer definitions.
