WMS For Builders Merchants And Construction Supplies

Timber sold by the metre, aggregate by the tonne, half your stock outside in a yard and a trade counter competing with delivery orders for the same pallet. Most warehouse systems were not built for this.

What Makes It Different

Awkward Stock, Two Demand Streams, Several Branches

Building supplies break most of the assumptions a warehouse system makes. Stock is heavy, bulky and often stored outdoors. It is sold in units it was not bought in. And it moves between branches constantly.

Yard And Racking Together

Outside storage and racked stock in one system, with locations that match how the yard is actually laid out.

Sold By Length Or Weight

Timber by the metre, cable by the reel, aggregate by the tonne — picked and recorded in the unit you sell in.

Branch Transfers

Stock moving between branches scanned out and in, so the branch figures actually reconcile.

Trade Counter And Delivery

Two demand streams pulling from the same stock without one starving the other.

Own Fleet And Carriers

Route-based despatch for your own lorries alongside parcel carriers for the smaller lines.

Multi-Branch Stock

See what is where across every branch before telling a customer it is out of stock.

Reality

Built For How The Yard Actually Works

A system that assumes every item sits in a bin on a rack will not survive contact with a builders merchant. Locations have to reflect bays, racks, outside storage and the bit behind the shed that everyone knows about but nothing records.

Branches

Stock Figures That Reconcile

Multi-branch operations lose stock in transit more often than anywhere else, because a transfer is often two pieces of paper and an assumption. Scanning it out and in turns that into a record.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can you handle stock sold by length, weight or volume?

Yes. Items can be bought in one unit and sold in another, with conversion handled at picking so the picker works in the unit that makes sense on the floor.

What about outside storage and yards?

Yard locations are treated the same as racking. The layout reflects your site rather than assuming everything sits in a bin.

Do you support branch transfers?

Yes, scanned out of one branch and into the other, so the two sets of figures reconcile rather than drifting apart.

Can trade counter and delivery orders share stock?

Yes, with rules that stop one demand stream stripping the other. That is generally the first problem merchants want solved.

Which ERP do builders merchants usually run?

Many of our merchant customers run GenetiQ, previously Intact iQ, which has served the sector for over thirty years. We have a two-way integration with it, alongside Acumatica and SAP Business One.

Do you handle our own delivery fleet?

Route-based despatch for your own vehicles works alongside parcel carriers for smaller items, from the same despatch process.
