Real challenges. We understand.

Common challenges for bearing distributors

Thousands of part numbers, factory-specific prices and look-alike suffixes make it easy for sales, stores and accounts to fall out of sync.

Part number chaos

A factory sends 40 part numbers. Finding price and stock takes half a day.

Each factory pays a different price

Regular factories have their own agreed rates, and no one remembers which.

Half the PO has gone

No one remembers what is still owed, and the factory calls on the day the line stops.

A C3 went instead of a C4

The shutdown kit was one seal short, and the line stays down while you send the right one.

Where bearing businesses can make more money

You can be a bigger company. You only need to systemise.

Knowbuild gives you an enterprise-grade system at SME prices.

  • Search any part number across brands in seconds.
  • Previous order rates shown before quoting a regular customer.
  • Stock Breach and Purchase Alert for every part.
  • Every item scanned against the order before dispatch.

Who this is for

Authorised distributors of bearings, housings and accessories for industrial customers.

Ball bearingsRoller bearingsHousingsSleeves & seals

One order, one record

From first inquiry to final payment, every team works on the same order

Here is how an order moves through KnowBuild, using a paper mill’s shutdown order as the example.

Inquiry Manager

Inquiry

A maintenance head emails a list of part numbers. It goes to the right salesperson.

Lead Manager

Lead

The need is real. The plant and its people (who specifies, who pays) are saved.

View Offers

Offer

Bearings, housings and belts are quoted at today’s price, with previous rates checked and a follow-up date.

Opportunities

Opportunity

The plant is serious. The deal now counts in your sales forecast and your purchase plan.

Confirmed Orders

Order Confirmed

The PO comes in and a Delivery Order is made. The warehouse sends what is in stock and tracks the rest.

Order Closed

Order Closed

Delivered and fully paid. Until then, the amount due stays against the salesperson.

KnowBuild keeps Tally for your final accounts. It runs the day-to-day business: quotes, stock, dispatch and collections.

From enquiry to payment

Know exactly where every order stands.

  • Salesknows which version the customer approved.
  • Storesknows which part number to pick.
  • Purchaseknows which back-order the factory PO fills.
  • Managementknows what has been collected.

Without a connected system

  • Part numbers known only by a few people
  • Quotes built from old price sheets
  • Wrong suffix leaves the warehouse
  • Back-orders tracked in notebooks
  • Overdue invoices noticed only when cash is tight

With KnowBuild

  • Every part number searchable by anyone on the team
  • Every quote at today’s price, with version numbers
  • Warehouse scans every item before dispatch
  • Back-orders linked to factory POs, balances always visible
  • Receivables visible, with reminders that go out on time

Frequently asked questions

We stock thousands of part numbers. Can KnowBuild handle that?+

Yes. Every part is saved once with its code, brand, price, discount limit and stock. Your team searches by part number, name or code and sees everything in one line.

Each factory has its own agreed price. How do we keep track?+

Before quoting, your team sees the previous order rates for the same customer and for customers in the same segment, so the price stays consistent.

Our warehouse team can’t tell a C3 from a C4. Will they ship the right part?+

Yes. Every suffix has its own product code, and shutdown sets are saved as kits. At dispatch, the system lists every item to pick and checks each scan against the order, rejecting anything that doesn’t match. Your team doesn’t need bearing knowledge.

Do we have to stop using Tally?+

No. Keep Tally for your final accounts. You can start with Sales OS next to Tally to fix inquiries, quotes, follow-ups and payments, and move stock, purchase and dispatch onto KnowBuild when you are ready.

Can we deliver a PO in parts?+

Yes. Send what is ready. Every part delivery is recorded against the order, and the balance is shown until the last item is delivered.

How do we start?+

With a 5-user pilot on the one area that hurts most, usually quote-to-order or order-to-delivery. You grow from there once it works.
