### How Building Supply Distributors Are Transforming Delivery Efficiency, Visibility, & Safety

For building supply distributors, scale often brings complexity. When reliable delivery is central to the customer promise, managing disconnected systems for routing, telematics, proof of delivery (POD), and mobile workflows creates blind spots. These gaps reduce efficiency, heighten risk, and make it harder to keep commitments.

Meanwhile, rising customer expectations, tighter delivery windows, and jobsite pressures are making on-time, in-full performance more challenging than ever. Legacy processes, whether paper-based or scattered across multiple platforms, only add to the risk of delays, [missed ETAs](/content/resources/knowledge-center/optimizing-building-material-deliveries-sites-why-timeliness-matters/index.html), and [costly claims.](/content/resources/knowledge-center/6-tips-reduce-claims-disputes-construction-and-building-material/index.html)

This webinar explores how building supply distributors are transforming their operations by uniting best-in-class technologies from [Descartes](/content/building-supply-and-construction-industry-center/index.html), [Geotab](https://www.geotab.com/), [Lytx](https://www.lytx.com/), and [Zebra](https://www.zebra.com/us/en.html). Learn how Descartes' extensive partner network supports a connected workflow that digitizes operations from dispatch to delivery, enabling teams to perform with greater precision, consistency, and safety.

> **The number one way building supply distributors differentiate from competitors is through reliable, repeatable deliveries that are on-time and in-full. Unified systems make those promises possible**.
