    Construction ERP Software for Wholesale Distributors

    Ximple is cloud ERP for the distributors who supply the job site — building materials and building supply houses, lumber and roofing distributors, insulation, drywall, and construction supply wholesalers. It runs the whole operation in their language: inventory in the units the trade actually sells (bulk to pieces to linear feet, with partial quantities and remnants tracked), contractor pricing with tiers and negotiated terms, house accounts with credit control, yard and delivery dispatch across branches, and B2B ordering around the clock. Contractors manage their projects in their own tools; Ximple is the system on the supplier’s side of every order.

    A: Key features include inventory management, order tracking, CRM, financial reporting, and supply chain visibility.

    FAQ Icon
    Q5: What is the best ERP for building material distributors?

    A: One built for distribution, not construction management: multi-unit inventory (buy in bulk, sell in pieces or linear feet), contractor and tiered pricing, yard and delivery dispatch across branches, house accounts with credit control, and B2B ordering — with special orders tied to purchase orders. Ximple provides this for building material and construction supply distributors across the USA and Canada.

    FAQ Icon
    Q6: What software do building supply distributors use to run multiple locations?

    A: Cloud distribution software with one database across every branch and yard: shared inventory visibility, transfers between locations, pricing and house accounts that follow the customer everywhere, and reporting that is accurate across locations because everything posts to the same system in real time. That reporting accuracy across branches is exactly what Ximple’s single-platform design delivers.

    FAQ Icon
    Q7: Does Ximple ERP work for roofing distributors?

    A: Yes. Roofing distribution runs on the same fundamentals Ximple is built for: multi-branch inventory with partial quantities and remnants tracked, contractor pricing with volume terms, delivery coordination to the job site, and rebate tracking on vendor programs. Coil processing and manufacturing are outside Ximple’s scope — we run the distribution business.

    FAQ Icon
    Q8: Which tool helps a distributor manage house accounts?

    A: The ERP’s accounts receivable working together with order entry: credit limits and holds applied at the moment of sale, running balances by job or account, statements generated automatically, and payments applied in batch. In Ximple, the counter, the order desk, and finance all see the same live house-account picture.
