How It Works

Three Pillars Built for UAE Building Materials

Key account managers own the relationship with developers and distributor principals. Project-site reps handle construction-site visits and BOQ capture. Dealer reps run hardware-counter beats and artisan engagement. All three sit inside one app, with AED sell-out flowing back continuously from the cloud DMS.

Key Account Cadence for Developers + Distributors

Each account carries a head-office call calendar, spec review cycle and flagship distributor audit. Visit planning auto-shifts the moment a Dubai or Abu Dhabi developer calendar moves, so no spec review gets missed.

BOQ-Led Site Capture by Project Reps

Reps visit sites, log the build stage (foundation, block-work, roofing, finishing, handover), update BOQ progress and record contractor contacts through the field activity layer. The build stage itself sets the next visit cadence.

Hardware-Counter Sell-Out + Artisan Engagement

DMS data feeds the analytics layer for dealer-wise AED sell-out by SKU. Regional heads track range fill and artisan recommendation share. 1Voice AI answers a prompt such as "top five hardware counters by paint growth in Sharjah" in seconds.

Complete Platform

Attendance, Pipeline, Artisan Engagement, Expense

One cloud stack: GPS attendance by role, BOQ-to-dispatch pipeline, artisan engagement at hardware counters, card, digital-wallet or bank-transfer expense claims, and cement-depot delivery tracking across the UAE's emirates.

GPS Attendance by Role

Selfie AI plus geo-fence: site reps lock to construction sites, dealer reps to hardware counters, key account managers to developer head offices. Missed-visit alerts and productivity ratios all feed the workforce view.

BOQ-to-Dispatch Project Pipeline

Stages run from lead to site delivery with milestone alerts, architect or contractor contacts, competitor SKUs and an AED forecast value. Route planning reshapes itself around the build stage as it progresses.

Artisan Engagement + Order Capture

Reps log engagement with masons, painters, tilers, plumbers and electricians, and brand-share intent flows back to marketing. Orders book straight against the multi-tier DMS with AED pricing slabs and a live stock view for cement, tiles and paint.

Expense, Leave, Timesheets

File expense claims against visit days with card, digital-wallet or bank-transfer receipts. Leave management covers UAE public holidays, and timesheets export payroll-ready files for direct or contract reps.
