Building Materials & Construction Supply ERP Solutions & Systems Integrations

Your ERP Special Ops Team: Helping Building Materials and Construction Supply Distributors Get More from Their Business Systems

From lumber, roofing and drywall to steel, hardware and fasteners, building materials distributors need systems that keep sales, purchasing, inventory and delivery working together.

MindHARBOR builds custom ERP integrations, applications, automation and reporting tools around the way your business operates. We help connect your systems, reduce manual work and give your team clearer information for everyday decisions.

Support the Way You Quote, Stock and Sell Materials

Construction supply orders can involve different units of measure, customer agreements, delivery schedules and project requirements. Those details need to carry through from the initial quote to fulfillment and billing.

We can help you:

Simplify conversions between purchasing, stocking and selling units.
Support cut-length calculations and material handling requirements.
Connect quotes, contract pricing and customer orders.
Manage project references, staged releases and partial shipments.
Reduce repeated entry between spreadsheets, applications and ERP.

Simplify Vendor Pricing and Purchasing

Supplier price changes and inconsistent files can consume hours of staff time while creating opportunities for errors.

We build tools to import, validate and organize vendor information, flag exceptions and support controlled updates to your ERP.

Custom purchasing workflows can also help with:

Replenishment recommendations and purchasing approvals.
Branch inventory balancing and transfer requests.
Supplier lead-time and open purchase order visibility.
Freight, surcharge and landed-cost information.
Identifying discrepancies before they affect customer pricing.

Connect Contractor Quotes, Orders and Account Information

Make it easier for employees and customers to find the information they need.

Custom portals and integrations can bring together quotes, product availability, customer pricing, order history and account information. Connect online requests to your existing workflows so your team spends less time rekeying information and answering routine status questions.

We can also support document access, approval steps and notifications tailored to your customer relationships.

Improve Warehouse, Dispatch and Delivery Coordination

A change to an order or delivery schedule should reach the people responsible for fulfilling it.

We connect ERP systems with warehouse, routing, dispatch and delivery applications to improve coordination between sales, operations, drivers and customers.

Depending on your systems and requirements, that can include:

Delivery scheduling and shipment status updates.
Visibility into backorders and incomplete orders.
Proof-of-delivery and document exchange.
Customer notifications and exception alerts.
Tracking delivery charges and their impact on margin.

Get Better Visibility Across Products, Customers and Branches

Bring operational and financial information together in reports your team can use.

MindHARBOR develops dashboards, reporting tools and data connections to help you investigate pricing inconsistencies, monitor purchasing activity, identify slow-moving inventory and understand profitability.

See where margins are changing, which orders need attention and where manual processes are slowing the business down.

Put AI to Work on Practical Business Questions

AI can help employees find information, summarize activity and identify exceptions when it has access to the right data and appropriate controls.

We help evaluate practical uses for AI within your operation, including questions about orders, inventory, purchasing and sales performance. Access can be matched to approved users, roles and data sources.

Start with a defined business need, then build around the information and workflows required to support it.

Connect Your ERP and Business Applications

We help distributors using Epicor BisTrack, Prophet 21 and other ERP platforms assess integration needs and build connections around available APIs, approved data access and supported interfaces.

Our work can connect ERP with:

eCommerce and customer portals.
Supplier files and EDI services.
CRM and quoting applications.
Warehouse and delivery platforms.
Accounting and document management tools.
Reporting, analytics and AI applications.

Each project starts with your systems, access requirements and operational goals.

Keep Moving as Your Technology Changes

Whether you plan to extend your current ERP, move to SaaS or replace an application, the connections between systems need attention.

MindHARBOR helps with data preparation, migrations, reporting changes and integration updates so your team can plan the transition around daily operations.

We work for you.

Fix. Build. Bridge.

Custom Solutions. Not Products.
