Building material distributors
Building material distributors: your WhatsApp orders, invoiced and collected automatically.
Cement bags, rebar, and timber packs. Big orders, long payment terms, and balances that need tracking in Rand across 60 and 90-day terms.
What does a building material distributor's day on WhatsApp look like?
Your customers order by project. Orders are large, payment terms are long, and each customer carries a running balance.
Orders come with site addresses: "200 bags cement, 50 lengths 12mm rebar, delivery to Site B." Each one needs routing.
Payment terms run 60 to 90 days. You chase payments that are always "coming next week" while new orders keep arriving.
Running balances across dozens of accounts, each at a different stage of ageing. No single view of who owes what.
Credit limits per customer. You approve large orders against limits you track in your head or a spreadsheet.
How does Wasrio handle building material orders?
Customer sends: "200 bags OPC 50kg, 50 Y12 rebar 6m." Wasrio handles it end to end.
Order read from WhatsApp
Products, quantities, and delivery site are extracted from the customer's free-text message by Wasrio.
Customer pricing applied
Each line priced per that customer's rate. The balance is checked against their credit terms.
Invoice generated
A VAT-compliant invoice is created and sent on WhatsApp. The balance updates automatically.
Delivery scheduled
Multi-site delivery routing handles different project addresses per customer.
What do building material distributors need that generic WhatsApp tools do not have?
Building material distribution runs on credit terms, project-based delivery, and balances that age for months. A tool built for retail or marketing does not cover it. Wasrio was built for this type of operation.
- Large order values with long payment terms (60 to 90 days)
- Running customer balances with ageing views across all accounts
- Project-based delivery tracking to multiple construction sites
- Credit limit management per customer account
- Heavy-SKU catalogues with weight, length, and dimension variants
- Automated follow-up on aged balances with payment links
Send us your customer list and your outstanding balances. We will show you the ageing view and follow-up schedule Wasrio builds on a live call.
