Hardware distributor

A distributor of hardware and materials, with physical stores and a base of trade customers who order frequently and need up-to-date prices, stock and lead times.

In 2023, the starting point was the catalogue: an organised product base fed by the ERP, instead of PDF catalogues maintained by hand.

The approach

On top of the catalogue came the website with an online shop, in 2024, and the B2B portal for trade customers, in 2025, with carts, returns and prices by product family and customer type. Sales opportunities started being recorded on the same platform.

Orders, reservations and picking are now managed with a direct link to the company's sales system.

Today

In 2026 management reports were built on the ERP data: article and quantity selection, stock per store, purchases by supplier, scheduled orders and pricing decision support.

Information that used to be scattered across catalogues, the ERP and spreadsheets now serves online sales, trade customers and purchasing decisions at the same time.
