Move more product without adding cost to every desk.
Building materials distribution runs on margin and velocity. ADBM builds dedicated teams that keep quotes moving, orders clean, and customers handled — so your onshore people sell instead of chasing paperwork.
- ▍Faster quote turnaround and order entry
- ▍Cleaner data across your ERP and CRM
- ▍Coverage that scales with season, not headcount panic
- ▍Customer service that actually knows the catalog
Distribution is a paperwork business pretending to be a sales business
Every quote that sits, every order typed twice, every customer left on hold is margin walking out the door. The fix isn’t working your team harder — it’s giving them a dedicated team behind them.
ADBM places full-time professionals who live in your quote desk, your ERP, and your phone queue. They learn your vendors, your SKUs, and your customers, and they stay long enough for that knowledge to compound. Your onshore reps stop doing data entry and get back to selling.
What changes in the first 90 days
You feel it first in turnaround time — quotes out the same day, orders entered clean, fewer things falling through. Then you feel it in your team: the people you were about to lose to burnout get their afternoons back. And you feel it in the P&L, because you added capacity without adding a full onshore headcount to every function.
Built for how distributors actually run
We don’t hand you a generalist and wish you luck. We recruit for building-materials aptitude, train on your systems, and manage retention so you’re not re-onboarding every six months. You direct the work. We carry the overhead.
Proof in distributors
A 12-person offshore team that feels in-house

10 offshore roles, 68% savings, faster response

A 9-person back office at 62% lower cost
A growing trade-and-supply distributor expanded purchasing, finance, and customer service offshore — nine full-time roles that made the back office faster and leaner at a fraction of domestic cost.
A project-management assistant that freed the leadership team
A fast-scaling lighting design and material-supply firm embedded an offshore project-management assistant — delivering projects faster while leadership stayed focused on nationwide expansion.
