Construction Materials — Materials move on trust. The risk is in the ledger, the yard and the site handover.
What's costing you today
The same contractor buys through several sites and LPOs, so the real exposure is only clear when a payment is already late.
Weighbridge tickets, site signatures and partial offloads live on paper or in WhatsApp threads, and disputes are settled from memory.
Batch, shade, grade or specification mismatches on repeat orders — whether cement, paint, tiles or steel — come back as returns or claims.
The run, in construction materials terms
- 1Order in
Site orders, LPOs and counter sales captured against the project and the contractor, not just the outlet name.
- 2Credit check
Total exposure across every site and LPO for that customer checked before release — including retention and ageing.
- 3Fulfilment
Loads planned by weight, volume and vehicle capacity, with batch, grade or shade matched to the earlier order on the same project.
- 4Delivery
Weighbridge, site acknowledgement and partial offloads recorded at the point of delivery so disputes have evidence.
- 5Invoicing
Invoiced on the delivered quantity and agreed project terms, with part-deliveries and retention handled cleanly.
- 6Payment & reporting
Payments matched against projects and retention, with exposure and margin visible per contractor and per site.
Your people stay in charge of the judgement calls — the pricing exceptions, the customer relationships, the tough credit decisions. Disti iQ carries the rest of the run.
What changes
- ↗Credit exposure seen per contractor, not per invoice
- ↗Delivery disputes closed with evidence, not argument
- ↗Fewer batch, grade and specification returns on repeat project orders
