For lumberyards & dealers · Effort: Medium
Let AI tell dealer reps which permits and quotes to chase today
The problem
Lumberyard reps lose jobs because open quotes go unanswered and new building permits from existing customers never get matched to an account until the order has gone elsewhere.
How AI helps
A dealer CRM connected to the ERP and local permit data matches each permit to the right customer and jobsite, flags big quotes with no follow-up and customers who've gone quiet, and lets a rep ask in plain English which accounts have active permits but no recent orders.
