What LBM distribution data does SupplyBuilder provide?

SupplyBuilder's distribution data tool gives building product manufacturers access to LBM distribution data across 15 product categories — filterable by location, territory, and operating company. Capabilities include channel revenue analysis by geography, distributor and dealer competition breakdowns, territory management, and addressable channel revenue within a configurable radius. The tool is built specifically for the two-step distribution model used across the lumber and building materials industry.

What is the two-step distribution model in building products?

The two-step distribution model is the primary distribution structure for lumber and building materials (LBM). Manufacturers sell to distributors (step one), who then sell to dealers and contractors (step two). SupplyBuilder's distribution data tool is built to analyze demand and competitive dynamics within this model — helping manufacturers understand channel revenue potential and identify gaps at both the distributor and dealer level.

What is product distribution analysis for building product manufacturers?

Product distribution analysis for building product manufacturers evaluates how a product moves through the distribution channel — identifying which distributors and dealers carry a product, where geographic coverage gaps exist, and where revenue potential is underserved. SupplyBuilder's LBM distribution data tool delivers this analysis by location, region, or operating company across 15 product categories.

How does SupplyBuilder support distributor channel analytics?

SupplyBuilder maps distribution locations, channel revenue, and competitive presence across a manufacturer's target geography. Users define territories by country, region, or operating company; set a radius from 25 to 200 miles; and view addressable channel revenue broken down by product category — enabling data-backed distribution strategy, partner identification, and acquisition targeting.
