How It Works

Three Pillars of Saudi Building Materials DMS

Building materials distribution in Saudi Arabia turns on three things: clean tier flow from the distributor down through retailers and wholesalers to the hardware counter, a graded product master with port reconciliation on imported finishes, and project-sales control that keeps contractor jobs and open-market trade on one platform, built to work across the Kingdom's long inter-city routes and summer heat.

Distributor to Retailer Order Routing

Orders flow from the field rep, the retailer portal, or a contractor site straight into the order queue. The channel class (distributor, hardware retailer, wholesaler, project-direct) sets SAR pricing and credit terms, and stock moves from the Riyadh warehouse to Jeddah or Dammam branches without rekey.

Graded SKU Master and Port Reconciliation

A graded SKU hierarchy for cement, reinforcement bar, tiles, paint, and roofing with batch and shade-lot logic. Imported consignments cleared through Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam reconcile against GRN at each warehouse. Project stock stays ring-fenced from open-market retail allocation.

Project Sales, Site Delivery, SAR Settlement

Channel-class pricing with slab schemes on cement bags and paint volume. Site delivery slots track each contractor job by route distance and delivery window, built around the Kingdom's summer heat and long inter-city hauls. Breakage returns with photos, and mada, SADAD, and bank-transfer receipts auto-post to the ledger.

Complete Platform

Orders, Graded SKUs, SAR Pricing, Site Delivery, GRN & Returns

A single cloud runs the whole building materials loop, from a graded SKU master through to breakage credit notes. Built for cement, TMT steel, tile, paint, and hardware distribution across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and the Kingdom's other construction hubs.

Secondary Order Capture

Order automation for distributors, hardware retailers, and open-market wholesalers. Credit-limit gating blocks orders above SAR exposure caps, and contractor-direct orders route to project pricing. Offline capture keeps counters working across the Kingdom's long routes between cities.

Port Consignment Reconciliation

Imported tile, sanitaryware, and finishing consignments cleared through Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam reconcile against GRN entries at Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam warehouses. Batch, shade-lot, and manufacturing-date capture at receipt. FIFO dispatch on cement and adhesive lines with limited shelf life.

SAR Pricing and Project-Sales Schemes

Pricing trees per channel: hardware retailer, wholesaler, project-direct, and modern-trade retail. Slab schemes in SAR with cement bag rebates, paint volume bonuses, and contractor incentives, timed to the sharp demand spikes around Ramadan and Hajj and Umrah season.

Site Delivery and Project-Sales Tracking

Project-sales records track each contractor by site, BOQ stage, and outstanding ledger. Delivery slots account for site access, offloading crews, and the Kingdom's summer heat windows across long inter-city routes. Tile and sanitaryware returns capture photos for credit-note routing.
