Electrical Supply Distributors
You carry 40,000 SKUs.You price them 40,000 different ways.
Every branch has its own pricing habits, its own reorder points, its own way of quoting jobs. The catalog is the same, but the margins aren't. We embed with your team, map your entire operation from purchasing through counter sales to jobsite delivery, and deploy AI specialists that fix what's costing you money. No consultants with slide decks. Real operational change, from week one.
The Problem
Where the money
is going.
Cost
Pricing Inconsistency Across Branches
Counter staff in one branch quote wire at full list price. Twenty miles away, another branch gives the same contractor 18% off because he's been coming in for years. Nobody knows what the actual margin is on any given transaction until month-end. Multiplied across thousands of daily line items, the leakage is enormous.
Process
Dead Stock & Slow Movers
Branches order based on what moved last quarter, not what's moving now. A code change makes an entire shelf of breakers obsolete overnight. Slow-moving specialty items sit for 18 months because nobody tracks days-on-hand at the SKU level. Writedowns hit the P&L every year like clockwork.
Risk
Quoting & Bid Support
Contractors need project quotes with hundreds of line items turned around in hours. The process is manual. Someone pulls up the catalog, checks stock across branches, applies a pricing tier that may or may not be current, and emails a PDF. Lose the bid and you lose six months of repeat orders from that contractor.
Knowledge
Counter Expertise Walking Out the Door
Your best counter reps know which wire gauge pairs with which conduit for a hospital panel upgrade. They know that a contractor ordering 200 feet of MC cable probably also needs bushings and straps. That knowledge lives in their heads. When they retire, the new hire has a catalog and a search bar.
How We Work
Three steps. Hands on.
We embed with your team, map your operation, find what no one could see, and deploy specialists that fix it. You get a dedicated team, not a login.
Map
We start with a structured discovery. Our team interviews every counter rep, branch manager, purchasing lead, and delivery driver across your locations. We connect to your ERP, pricing engine, and inventory systems. The result is your Blueprint: a complete, live map of how your distribution operation actually runs, from vendor purchasing through warehouse picking to contractor delivery.
Uncover
We analyze everything we mapped. Our platform finds the pricing gaps between branches, the SKUs sitting dead on shelves, the quoting bottlenecks costing you bids. We validate every finding with your team before acting on it. Not a one-time audit. Always running, always finding more.
Execute
Every finding comes with a concrete plan and a deploy button. We build AI specialists that handle the fix end to end. Normalize pricing rules across branches, flag slow movers before they become writedowns, accelerate bid turnaround. You approve, they run. We stay with you to make sure they deliver.

From day one.
Week 1
Discovery
We talk to every branch.
AI-led conversations with every employee. Counter reps, warehouse staff, branch managers, delivery drivers. Not surveys. Real conversations that capture the pricing workarounds, the stocking instincts, the contractor relationships no system records.
Month 1
Blueprint + First Savings
Your Blueprint is live. Agents are saving money.
A complete, verified map of how your electrical supply operation works, from vendor negotiation through branch inventory to contractor delivery. The first opportunities are identified, and AI specialists are already in production.
Ongoing
Continuous Returns
Savings compound. Every quarter.
Yield keeps finding inefficiencies, deploying specialists, and compounding savings. Pricing tightens as market conditions shift. Dead stock flags get smarter with every inventory cycle. The platform pays for itself and keeps going.
FAQ
Common questions.
Our branches set their own pricing multipliers and we've never been able to standardize them. What's different here?
Pricing multipliers drift because nobody has visibility into what's actually happening at the transaction level. We start by mapping every branch's actual pricing behavior across thousands of line items. Not the published tiers. The real numbers. From there, we surface where branches are leaving margin on the table and where aggressive discounting is winning business worth keeping. You decide which rules to tighten and which to leave alone.
We tried a dead stock reduction program last year and branch managers just transferred slow movers between locations. How do you prevent that?
Transferring dead stock between branches is the classic move. It makes the originating branch look better and pushes the problem downstream. We track inventory at the SKU level across every branch simultaneously, so transfers don't hide the problem. The system flags items by actual days-on-hand regardless of which shelf they're sitting on. Liquidation or return-to-vendor recommendations happen before the item crosses the writedown threshold.
Our counter reps handle 80 transactions a day and won't adopt anything that slows down the point of sale workflow.
Counter speed is everything in electrical supply. A contractor waiting in line is a contractor thinking about your competitor. We don't add steps to the transaction. We surface relevant information inside the existing workflow. Product pairings, margin alerts, stock availability at other branches. The rep sees it without clicking away from the sale. If it slows them down, it's not working and we change it.
We have six branches with six different reorder points for the same wire and conduit SKUs. Can you reconcile that without ignoring local demand patterns?
Forcing a single reorder point across branches is how you end up with a commercial-heavy branch running out of 3/4-inch EMT while a residential-heavy location sits on a two-year supply. We map each branch's actual demand curves individually. The system recommends reorder points based on local pull rates, lead times from your specific vendors, and seasonal patterns in each market. Branches in new construction areas look different from retrofit-heavy markets, and the model respects that.
