Growing your supply company has never been easier, grow your sales by licensing Smartbuild to contractors to sell more material without staffing up.
This video explains how to become a Smart Build distributor, walking through the setup process, features, and tools available to manage accounts effectively.
Key points include:
Becoming a Distributor:
- Distributors can set up accounts for contractors, allowing them to use Smart Build without independent setup.
- Distributors manage contractor pricing and accounts.
Account Management:
- The platform supports multi-level account management (e.g., suppliers with multiple locations, contractors under those locations).
- Admins can view and manage builders’ jobs, while builders only see their own jobs.
Child Control Feature:
- “Child-controlled” accounts allow decentralized management at lower levels.
- Up to three levels of hierarchy are supported, ensuring flexibility in managing large organizations.
Customization and Updates:
- Unique product additions for specific builders won’t be overwritten by parent account updates.
- Changes like adding or removing items (e.g., trims) can be pushed to builders while preserving unique customizations.
- Administrators can apply updates selectively based on whether accounts are child-controlled.
Pricing Management:
- Distributors can assign unique pricing to builders.
- Builders see only their pricing details, while the distributor manages additional markup at the supplier level.
New Features:
- Enhanced tools for managing framing rules and product updates across multiple accounts.
- A setup wizard allows global updates to be applied efficiently to builders.
The video concludes with an invitation for new distributors to join the network and be featured on their website’s map, showcasing their location and services.
