Real challenges. We understand.
Common challenges for power tool distributors
Many brands, quarterly price lists and kit orders make it easy for sales, stores and accounts to fall out of sync. Most power tool distributors we meet recognise at least three of these.
No one knows what is really in stock
Hundreds of tools, accessories and spares across brands. Stock sits in Excel or in the storekeeper’s head.
Old price lists on new quotes
Brands revise price lists and schemes often. Quotes go out at old rates and the margin goes before anyone notices.
A kit is promised, then a charger is missing
Kits are packed from loose items, and no one knows how many complete kits you can sell today.
Dealer credit drifts
Dealers and contractors pay in parts, and overdue invoices age quietly until cash is short.

Keep dealer credit under control
Many dealers, many small orders
You supply hardware and tool dealers across a region. The win is quick quotes, complete orders, and not supplying more to dealers who haven’t paid.
- Credit limits and dues visible before every order.
- Payment reminders on WhatsApp, escalating to your sales team.
- Repeat orders quoted from saved prices and previous rates.
- Every dealer inquiry answered, with reminders if no one replies.
Who this is for
Distributors who supply hardware and tool dealers across cities and districts.
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 fabricator’s tool order as the example.

Frequently asked questions
We carry hundreds of items across many brands. Can KnowBuild handle that?+
Yes. Every tool, accessory and spare is saved once with its code, price, discount limit and stock. Your team searches by name, model or code and sees everything in one line.
Can we sell kits and combos?+
Yes. Save a kit once with its parts. KnowBuild shows how many kits you can sell from the parts in stock, and reduces each part from stock when the kit is dispatched.
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.
Brands change their price lists often. How do our quotes keep up?+
Update the price once in KnowBuild. Every new quote and every revised offer uses today’s price, and every offer keeps its version number.
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.
