“Building supplies distributors need a way to cut through the chaos that comes from high expectations and complex operations,” said Satish Natarajan, DispatchTrack co-founder and CEO. “Unfortunately, there hasn’t historically been an easy way to make that happen, and the result has been that it can sometimes feel impossible to get the right items to the right place at the right time—and then get paid for it in a timely manner.
