Quote it. Allocate it. Deliver it. Service it.
From the enquiry to the delivery note, for builders merchants and hardware suppliers. Every site supplied is a record with its loads on it. Built by Zorah, run through the Arabella panel.
From the inbox to the morning screen, one order at a time.
An enquiry lands
A materials schedule for 42 units, a roof for an office block, in the inbox with the account it belongs to.
Quoted off the schedule
Bricks by the thousand, cement by the bag, sheeting by the metre, at that account's tier. Accept it and the order exists.
Ordered and allocated
Stock reserved by yard, back-orders flagged, the loads planned.
Stock by yard
Every pallet and pack, where it is, what is committed, what to reorder.
Supply that keeps up
A purchase order to the cement works or the brickyard, received line by line against the orders it serves.
Every site supplied
One site: the client, the area, the loads delivered and signed for.
The programme
Deliveries and inspections due, who is going.
The morning screen
Deliveries due, orders in flight, quotes gone quiet, debtors ageing.
Everything else the counter runs on.
Every account with its orders, quotes, terms and what it owes.
What building materials suppliers usually ask.
01Can it quote off a bill of materials?
Yes. A contractor's schedule is read into lines against the catalogue, by the thousand, the bag or the metre, priced at that account's tier.
02How does it handle deliveries?
Each order is allocated from a yard and planned as loads. The site is a record with every delivery signed for on it.
03Does it replace our accounting?
No. Invoices post to Sage or Xero and payments come back. Quotes, orders, stock and the sites live here.
04We work through Arabella's panel. What changes?
Enquiries from the panel arrive already scoped and your quotes go back through the same record, so the client sees one number and one contact.
05How do we start?
A demonstration on your own business: your catalogue, a live enquiry and a site you deliver to. If it earns its place, a plan follows.
Partner once, sit behind every contractor on the panel.
Arabella puts your category in front of contractors, developers, estates and bodies corporate. Zorah runs the system that takes the enquiry to the delivery and the service visit. Start with a demonstration on your own catalogue; a plan follows only if it earns its place.
