Credit management built for building materials manufacturers and distributors
Building materials companies average 45–75 days DSO. Most of that is preventable.
Whether you manufacture adhesives, tile, or installation products — or distribute them — your AR team is managing complex trade credit relationships with contractors, dealers, and national accounts. Credit Pulse automates credit decisions, monitors your portfolio in real time, and helps you extend credit confidently without adding headcount.

The credit challenges specific to manufacturers and distributors.
LONG CYCLES
Long payment cycles, short visibility.
Net 30, 60, and 90 terms are standard in building materials — but most AR teams have no early warning when a customer starts to slip. By the time collections gets involved, the damage is done.
SPREADSHEETS
Credit decisions stuck in spreadsheets.
Manually pulling trade references, cross-checking bureaus, and reviewing aging reports one account at a time doesn’t scale. It slows onboarding and creates inconsistent decisions across your portfolio.
MULTI-ENTITY
Multi-entity complexity.
Distributors who’ve grown through acquisition often have multiple credit policies running in parallel.
Standardizing them without disrupting operations is harder than it looks.
