What should building material suppliers look for in ERP software?
Building material suppliers should look for ERP software that connects contractor sales, customer-specific pricing, inventory, purchasing, pickup and delivery, finance and reporting in one system. It should also support multiple locations, integrations with the wider technology stack and workflows that can adapt as the business grows.
For LBM businesses, the important question is not simply whether an ERP can process orders. It is whether it can keep pricing, inventory, purchasing and fulfillment connected from the first customer quote through to pickup or job-site delivery

Built around the way building material suppliers work
Building material suppliers need to keep sales, inventory, purchasing and delivery tightly connected while serving contractors across a broad range of products and order types.
GenetiQ brings those processes together so teams can work from the same information from initial quote through to fulfillment.
Keep contractor quotes and orders moving
Building material orders can change quickly. inventory may already be available, need sourcing from another location, require purchasing or need to be prepared for pickup or delivery.
GenetiQ keeps the sales and operational information connected so teams can see what needs to happen next without relying on separate systems or manual handoffs.
Manage quotations, pricing and customer orders while keeping follow-ups and next actions visible.
Check available inventory, coordinate purchasing or use inventory elsewhere in the business to support the order.
Keep fulfillment connected as materials are prepared for customer pickup or scheduled for delivery.
Manage complex product ranges and pricing
Building material suppliers often manage large product ranges, multiple suppliers and different pricing arrangements across customer accounts.
GenetiQ helps keep product information and pricing structured so sales, purchasing and operations teams can work from consistent data.
- Organize products clearly
- Manage customer and supplier pricing
- Keep control as your range changes

Connect inventory, purchasing and branch inventory

GenetiQ connects inventory and purchasing so teams can make better use of inventory across the business and make more informed replenishment decisions.
