The construction industry runs on tight schedules and precise coordination. A single delay in material delivery can cascade into missed deadlines and rising costs. This is why frequent fulfillment models are gaining traction among building material distributors and contractors alike.
For Canadian suppliers, frequent fulfillment isn’t just about speed—it’s about creating a reliable, scalable system that keeps projects moving. With Buildix ERP, distributors can implement subscription-based fulfillment models that align perfectly with contractor needs. This blog explores how frequent fulfillment strengthens contractor relationships and positions suppliers as indispensable partners in the supply chain.
The Problem with Infrequent Fulfillment (200–250 words)
Traditional delivery models often result in:
Bulk Orders: Large shipments that tie up cash and take up valuable site space.
Irregular Supply: Contractors scramble when unexpected shortages arise.
Wasted Materials: Overstocked materials may get damaged or go unused.
Administrative Complexity: Each order generates multiple POs, invoices, and delivery notes.
For contractors working on multi-phase projects, this reactive approach creates uncertainty and inefficiency.
