Challenges in building materials trade

Challenges in building materials trade largely involve the need to handle large volumes of items and customer agreements. A building materials merchant is expected to offer a customer up to one million different items from many suppliers, with margins calculated and prices set, ready to go.

Managing items involves not only pricing but also the ability to make use of the intelligence that industry councils and others continually work to develop, most recently with Vilma. In short, this means receiving and using the intelligence in suppliers' item files within the ERP system, thereby handling the large volume of items in combination with many customer agreements and discount schedules.
