Operational Intelligence for
Building Materials Distributors
We build the data infrastructure, dashboards, and AI intelligence layer that replace your Excel dependency — on top of the ERP you already run.
Real-Time Operational Dashboards
Your team shouldn't wait until Friday to know what happened Monday. We build dashboards your purchasing, operations, and finance teams open every morning.
- Purchasing dashboards: Inventory levels, reorder points, exception management across all warehouses
- Operations dashboards: Warehouse performance, fulfillment metrics, transfer tracking
- Finance dashboards: COGS, landed cost analysis, PO tracking, budget vs. actual
- Real-time data refresh — not weekly Excel exports
- Browser-based — no software to install, accessible from any device
Modern Data Pipelines
Your ERP has the data. We build the infrastructure that gets it out — automatically, accurately, and continuously.
- Automated extraction from SAP, NetSuite, or similar ERPs via ETL/ELT integration
- Cloud data warehouse with Bronze/Silver/Gold architecture
- Bronze Layer: Raw data exactly as it comes from your ERP
- Silver Layer: Cleaned, validated, and standardized
- Gold Layer: Business-ready metrics and KPIs your team actually needs
- 0.00% data variance — our validation standard
- No manual exports, ever
Proactive Inventory Alerts
Stop finding out about problems after customers call.
- Stockout prediction factoring in overseas lead times (90-120 days) and domestic suppliers (3-5 days)
- Safety stock monitoring with automatic exception flagging
- Multi-warehouse visibility — see inventory across all locations in a single view
- Transfer tracking — know what's moving between warehouses and when
- Automated alerts before thresholds are breached
Built on your data foundation
AI-Powered Intelligence
Most companies can't do AI because their data isn't clean. We solve the data problem first — then add an AI layer that transforms how your team makes decisions.
- Demand forecasting — AI predicts what you'll need, when, and from which supplier based on historical patterns and lead times
- Reorder optimization — automatically calculate optimal reorder points factoring in overseas lead times, safety stock, and seasonal demand
- Margin intelligence — identify which products, customers, and channels are driving margin versus eroding it
- Natural language queries — ask your data questions in plain English: "What's my stockout risk this month?" and get instant answers
- Anomaly detection — AI watches for patterns your team would miss: unusual pricing trends, supplier reliability shifts, and inventory movement anomalies
The AI layer requires a clean data foundation. That's why every engagement starts with the data pipeline and dashboards — then we add intelligence on top. No shortcuts.
What we don't do
- We don't replace your ERP. We make it more useful.
- We don't do SAP customization projects. We build an intelligence layer on top.
- We don't build chatbots or AI toys. We build production systems your team runs on daily.
- We don't sell software licenses. You own everything we build.
- We don't subcontract. Vinh architects and builds your system directly.
