Your contractors are on job sites, not at desks. They need materials now — quoted accurately, available at will-call, delivered to the site. AI makes it happen.
Voice ordering for contractors. Instant project quoting. Will-call management. Job-site delivery coordination. All connected to your inventory and pricing.
Electrical distribution moves at the speed of construction. Your customers are electricians on job sites — they don't plan purchases weeks in advance. They're mid-project, realize they need 200 feet of 10/3 Romex and a panel upgrade kit, and they need it before the inspection tomorrow morning. Whoever can get them materials fastest wins the order.
Contractors consistently rank responsiveness as their top vendor selection criterion — speed and availability often matter more than price when choosing where to buy.
Your counter staff is slammed with calls from contractors who can't wait on hold. Project quotes — especially for commercial jobs with hundreds of line items — take hours to assemble, and by the time you send it, the contractor has already gotten a quote from someone else. Will-call orders sit in staging because nobody called the contractor to say they're ready. Job-site deliveries require manual coordination between sales, warehouse, and drivers.
Meanwhile, the big nationals are investing heavily in technology. They're offering mobile apps, real-time inventory, and instant quoting. You can't compete on their scale — but you can compete on relationships, local knowledge, and speed. That's where AI changes the game.
AI doesn't replace your team — it amplifies them. Contractors order by voice from the job site while your reps focus on the complex quotes and the relationships that matter. Will-call coordination is automatic. Your team wins on speed without burning out.
From call to confirmed order in under 90 seconds — no hold time, no manual entry.
Five pillars that transform how electrical distributors serve contractors and protect revenue.
AI handles routine orders and quote assembly. Reps focus on winning large project bids, building contractor relationships, and growing account penetration.
Track contractor accounts, job sites, credit limits, and preferred products. AI alerts you when accounts need attention or competitors might be gaining ground.
AI tracks project phases and contractor patterns. When a job typically needs a wire restock or breaker order, AI reaches out proactively — capturing the sale before they call someone else.
Construction peaks in spring and summer. AI helps you capture every order during the rush without overwhelming your team, and reactivate dormant accounts during slow months.
Make every electrician feel like your most important customer. AI ensures instant answers, accurate quotes, and proactive communication — whether they're a solo shop or a 50-person crew.
Not demos. Not promises. These are the workflows running in production at electrical distributors right now.
"I need a 200-amp panel, 20 15-amp breakers, and 500 feet of 12/2 wire to the Maple Street job site." AI processes the order, applies contractor pricing, checks inventory across branches, confirms delivery window, and creates the order — hands-free ordering from a ladder.
Contractors send a materials list by email, text, or photo — in any format. AI parses the list, matches products to your catalog, calculates contractor-specific pricing with job discounts, and generates a professional quote. What took hours now takes minutes.
Orders placed, picked, and waiting — but the contractor doesn't know. AI automatically notifies contractors when orders are ready via their preferred channel (text, call, email), sends reminders if not picked up, and helps manage counter traffic during peak hours.
Contractors need materials at the job site, not your branch. AI coordinates delivery scheduling, handles special instructions (gate codes, site contacts), optimizes routes, and sends real-time ETA notifications so crews know exactly when materials arrive.
AI learns contractor purchasing patterns and project timelines. When a contractor usually reorders wire at this point in a project, AI reaches out proactively: "Your Maple Street job usually needs a wire restock around now — want me to send the usual?" Captures revenue before they think to call someone else.
Contractors are notoriously slow to pay — they're waiting on their own receivables. AI handles polite, persistent collection calls, understands payment timelines, negotiates partial payments, and escalates to your team only when needed. Professional persistence without burning relationships.
