One Platform for Building Material Distribution
Cement, tiles, sanitaryware, paints, plywood, hardware — a building materials business is really ten catalogs, three seasons, and a hundred delivery sites running at once. Trade Node puts every brand, every dealer, and every site delivery into one controlled flow.
- Multi-brand catalogs
- Site-wise deliveries
- Scheme & incentive tracking
The problems this trade lives with
- Ten brands, ten price lists, one notebook: Each company revises prices on its own schedule. Keeping dealers updated across brands and SKUs means constant circulars — and constant billing errors when someone misses one.
- Site deliveries nobody can trace: Material goes to project sites, not shops. Which vehicle went to which site, who received it, and which challan covers it lives in drivers' memories and paper PODs.
- Schemes promised, schemes forgotten: Quarter-end dealer schemes drive sales, but tracking who reached which slab is a spreadsheet ritual that ends in disputes and delayed credit notes.
- Season decides everything, data arrives late: Demand swings with construction season, but sales and stock reports come at month-end — too late to buy right or push the right brand.
How Trade Node runs it
- Every brand's catalog, one live price list: Maintain brand-wise, SKU-wise price lists with instant updates to all dealers. When a company revises rates, one change reaches everyone — correctly.
- Deliveries tied to sites, not just parties: Orders carry delivery site details, dispatches record the vehicle and receiver, and the paper trail — challan, invoice, e-way bill — stays attached to each drop.
- Schemes that track themselves: Define slab-based dealer schemes once. Trade Node tracks every dealer's progress against targets automatically, so quarter-end settlements take minutes, not meetings.
- Live sales and stock, brand by brand: See which brand, which SKU, and which dealer is moving today — not at month-end. Buy and push with current data during the season, when it matters.
- Credit discipline across every counter: Dealer-wise limits and live outstanding stop the quiet build-up of exposure across dozens of accounts — enforced at order time, automatically.
Why one platform
- Multi-brand is our default, not a workaround: Trade Node is built for distributors who carry many companies' products with separate pricing, schemes, and margins — not for single-brand storefronts.
- From godown to construction site: The platform follows material to the site — vehicle, receiver, documents — because in this trade, delivery is only done when the site confirms it.
- Complete, not cobbled together: Pricing, orders, schemes, dispatch, billing, credit, and reports in one system — instead of one app for billing, one for stock, and WhatsApp for everything else.

Frequently asked questions
Can Trade Node handle multiple brands with different price lists?
Yes. You can maintain separate brand-wise catalogs and price lists, update them independently, and publish changes to all dealers instantly — with party-wise negotiated rates on top where needed.
How are deliveries to construction sites tracked?
Orders capture the delivery site, and each dispatch records the vehicle, quantities, and receiving details, with invoices and e-way bills attached — giving you a complete site-wise delivery trail.
Can I run dealer incentive schemes on the platform?
Yes. Define slab or target-based schemes and Trade Node tracks each dealer's progress automatically from their actual purchases, making settlements fast and dispute-free.
