Building Materials & Distribution
One System for Sales, Stock, Dealers, Credit and Distribution.
An ERP for building material manufacturers and distributors that keeps dealer accounts, multi-location stock, schemes, credit exposure and dispatch under one set of controls.
16 modules across 3 functional areas, scoped to what your operation actually needs.
Context
Why building materials businesses need this built properly.
Distribution businesses lose margin quietly. A scheme applied twice, a credit limit crossed, stock lying at the wrong godown, a claim settled without a record — none of these are dramatic, and together they decide the year.
Beyond Papers builds building materials ERP systems that put dealers, pricing, stock, credit and logistics on a single ledger, so territory performance and receivables are managed with numbers rather than relationships alone.
What We Hear
The problems that bring businesses like yours to us.
These come up in almost every discovery conversation in this sector. If several of them are familiar, the system below is designed to address them directly.
Stock spread across locations
Godown, branch and in-transit stock are tracked separately, so availability is confirmed by phone rather than by system.
Credit limits enforced inconsistently
Orders are released to dealers over their limit because the outstanding position is not visible at the point of sale.
Schemes calculated manually
Quantity discounts, seasonal schemes and dealer incentives are computed in spreadsheets and disputed at settlement.
Territory performance unclear
Sales are known in total but not by territory, dealer category, product or salesperson.
Claims and returns unrecorded
Damage claims and returns are settled through adjustments that never form an auditable trail.
Logistics costs unallocated
Freight is treated as a general expense rather than being attributed to the orders that caused it.
End to End
One record, from first contact to final settlement.
Each stage hands its information to the next inside the system. Nothing is re-entered, and at any point the current position can be answered without walking the floor.
