Building materials revenue depends on projects where architects specify, contractors bid, wholesalers distribute and distributors deliver — all influencing the same job simultaneously. Yet most CRM systems are account-driven and opportunity-based, with no model for the multi-stakeholder, phased reality of construction sales. Sales teams often struggle with: Fragmented project information across systems Limited visibility into stakeholder influence Manual coordination across specification and bidding phases Poor transparency into substitution risk Reactive instead of structured sales execution Traditional CRM Lead account-driven ↓ Prospect no project context ↓ Opportunity one contact, one deal ↓ Order pipeline ends here Who it tracks Account contactArchitectSpecifierContractorWholesaler ✕Fragmented project info ✕No stakeholder visibility ✕Manual bid coordination ✕Blind to substitution risk ✕Reactive execution VS VS Baucore ✏️Specification Phase Specified ↓ 📋Tender & Bidding In Bid ↓ 🏆Award Awarded ↓ 🔧Execution & Order On Site Who it tracks ArchitectSpecifierContractorWholesalerDistributor ✓Full project timeline, one source of truth ✓Stakeholder influence mapped per project ✓Structured cadence across all bid phases ✓Substitution risk flagged automatically ✓Guided next-best-actions for every rep ## A Project-Centric Sales Platform Built for Building Materials Baucore extends Salesforce with a data model designed specifically for project-based sales environments.

Baucore combines deep building materials industry expertise and implementation with Salesforce architecture. ![Steel beams](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1530569673472-307dc017a82d?auto=format&fit=crop&q=80&w=800) ### Industry-Specific Focus Built exclusively for manufacturers, rep agencies and distributors in construction — not adapted from a generic sales tool. ![Architectural glass](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1486406146926-c627a92ad1ab?auto=format&fit=crop&q=80&w=800) ### Project-Based Methodology Sales organised around projects — the actual driver of demand — so every activity ties back to where revenue is won or lost. ### Salesforce-Native Architecture Runs natively on Salesforce, so there is no separate system to maintain and your existing data, users and security model carry over. ![Sustainable wood](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1504307651254-35680f356dfd?auto=format&fit=crop&q=80&w=1200) ### Integrated System Design ERP, DMS, CRM, email and project data providers fully connected to create a single source of truth. ![Brick wall](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1558618666-fcd25c85cd64?auto=format&fit=crop&q=80&w=800) ### Long-Term Enablement Training, adoption and optimisation after go-live — because value comes from teams using the system, not just from deploying it. ### Autonomous AI Agents Baucore doesn't just get configured once and go stale. Agents keep watching, matching, and drafting long after go-live — the platform gets smarter with every project, not just at implementation. We Know Your Business ## Covering the Entire Project-Based Sales Lifecycle We understand the project sales lifecycle from first specification through final delivery.
