Never lose track of an account or deal

Building materials suppliers manage dozens — sometimes hundreds — of contractor accounts, each with unique pricing agreements, purchase history, and multiple contacts. Nutshell keeps every relationship organized in one place so your reps always know exactly where things stand.

When a contractor calls to reorder or follow up on a quote, your team instantly sees the full account history: who they’ve spoken to, what was discussed, what pricing was offered, and when you last reached out. That context turns routine calls into stronger relationships.

  • Complete account profiles: Purchase history, negotiated pricing, and contact details all in one record
  • Multi-contact linking: Connect contractors, project managers, and procurement contacts to a single deal
  • Full communication timeline: Every call, email, and note logged automatically

Keep long sales cycles moving automatically

Building materials deals take time — and follow-ups get dropped when reps are managing large account lists. Nutshell’s sales automation keeps your pipeline moving with scheduled email sequences, task reminders, and automatic deal advancement, even when your team is heads-down on other accounts.

Set it up once and let Nutshell do the follow-up work for you.

  • Automated email sequences: Drip campaigns that pause automatically when a prospect replies
  • Task & activity reminders: Never miss a critical follow-up step
  • Automatic pipeline advancement: Move deals forward when milestones are hit

Quote faster and win more bids

In building materials, the supplier who responds first often wins the job. Nutshell’s built-in quote builder lets your team create and send professional proposals directly from the CRM — no switching tools, no delays, no lost emails.

Track when a contractor opens your quote, follow up at exactly the right moment, and close with built-in e-signature support.

  • In-CRM quote builder: Build and send quotes without ever leaving Nutshell
  • Proposal tracking: See when a contractor opens your quote
  • E-signature support: Close deals without the paper chase

Turn your pipeline data into more revenue

Your sales data tells a story — but only if you can read it. Nutshell’s reporting suite gives sales managers and reps a clear view of what’s working, what’s not, and where the next opportunity is hiding.

  • Sales & loss reports: See exactly where revenue is coming in and where deals are falling through
  • Funnel reports: Identify which pipeline stages are stalling and fix them fast
  • Custom reports: Build the exact view you need, filtered by territory, product, rep, or source
