Klipboard's Role in Building Materials & Construction Products Manufacturing

At Klipboard, we understand that building materials manufacturing operates at scale under tight delivery timelines, variable demand, and cost pressure. In South Africa and across Africa, manufacturers must manage high-volume production, raw material availability, and reliable site delivery across distributed operations.

Our building materials ERP software supports production control, inventory management, and delivery coordination across complex supply chains. By integrating planning, stock management, and logistics within a single ERP platform, Klipboard helps manufacturers and distributors meet contractor schedules, manage demand variability, and maintain operational control.

The challenges you face

Manufacturing Challenges

We Understand the Challenges Building Materials Manufacturers Facing

You’re not just producing building materials; you’re managing raw materials, coordinating production, meeting construction timelines, and delivering to site. We work with building materials manufacturers and distributors supplying local and regional markets, so we understand the operational challenges you face:

  • Seasonal Demand and Production Planning: Construction activity fluctuates throughout the year. Balancing production capacity and inventory levels across demand peaks and troughs requires accurate forecasting and flexible planning.

  • Raw Material Management and Cost Control: Cement, aggregates, and other inputs drive cost and margin. Managing suppliers, monitoring consumption, and reducing waste is critical to maintaining profitability.

  • Delivery Coordination and Site Logistics: Materials must arrive on site when required. Coordinating deliveries across multiple locations, managing own fleets or third-party transporters, and handling site constraints demands reliable logistics control.

  • Product Variants and Specification Control: Multiple product sizes, strengths, and specifications add complexity. Ensuring the correct product is produced, picked, and delivered requires disciplined order and inventory control.

We've seen it, we've heard it - and we've built Klipboard Manufacturing to help you take control of it.
