Masonry, Brick, and Block Store
Utilize industry specific software for seamless operations and customer satisfaction
Customers want to be certain that you offer a great product range at good prices but also provide flexibility around how and when they purchase. Using outdated manual processes can prevent you from providing a modern customer service experience that will win you more business.
Inventory automation is unavoidable
The old way of relying on notebooks and clipboards will hold you back. Masonry, brick, and block stores now need a real-time view of available products, even when pallets and loads are split. Let technology work for you so you can focus on serving your customers.
Plan for seasonal trends with data insights
Most contractors work on projects that require supplies within a short timeframe and demand fluctuations may be more common than you think. Using historical data, you can look at past sales trends and predict what and when you’ll likely sell certain products in the year ahead.
Keep your team engaged and contended
It can be tough to attract skilled workers, like stonemasons, to work in a store. So, when you find them, you don’t want to bog them down with time-consuming, paper-based processes. By digitizing your business you will keep them focused and happy by doing what they do best.
