Tile, Flooring & Building Materials Distribution Solutions
Your ERP Special Ops Team: Helping Tile, Flooring & Building Materials Distributors Get More from Their Business Systems
Tile, flooring, and building materials distributors blend showroom sales, contractor projects, and complex logistics. MindHarbor delivers ERP integration, automation, and Digital Intelligence solutions that help you track true cost, manage variants, and improve project visibility.
Tile, flooring, and building materials distributors operate in a project-driven environment where pricing accuracy, product variation, logistics coordination, and inventory visibility directly impact margins and customer satisfaction.
MindHarbor helps tile, flooring, and building materials distributors modernize ERP and connected systems — integrating data, automating workflows, and applying Digital Intelligence to improve cost visibility, operational control, and decision-making across complex distribution operations.
Solving the Real Challenges Building Materials Distributors Face
Across tile, flooring, and construction supply distribution, we consistently see challenges such as:
-
Complex product variants (size, color, finish, dye lot, packaging).
-
Imported goods with landed cost and freight variability.
-
Showroom sales combined with contractor and project workflows.
-
Multi-UOM pricing and unit conversions.
-
Sample tracking, breakage, and returns.
-
Delivery coordination, routing, and jobsite logistics.
-
Limited visibility into true margin at the SKU and project level.
Our work focuses on making ERP systems reflect how building materials businesses actually operate, not forcing teams into generic workflows.
