Business Criticality

Beholden to end customer expectations and complex product requirements, building materials distributors can’t afford to delay digitizing their commercial process.

By becoming easier to do business with, you’ll get ahead of the competition and match customer expectations. Delivering quotes and customer-product pricing precisely when the buyer needs them is critical, so you can stop simply managing raw material details and start managing value.

Vendavo is the market leader in working with Building Materials distributors to modernize their quote-to cash processes and accelerate digital commerce capabilities that deliver a superior customer experience with greater profitability.
