Beacon Roofing unveils new ecommerce platform
Beacon Roofing Supply has launched a major upgrade to its ecommerce platform that is aimed at pro customers.
The residential and commercial roofing and building products distributor has introduced Beacon Pro+, which features enhancements to its ecommerce platform.
New features include automated order workflows, Beacon Track delivery notifications, and a strategic integration with project management software, JobNimbus. The platform is available online and as an app for download to smartphones and tablets.
“We are dedicated to helping our customers save time, managing their work more efficiently and enhancing their business,” said Eric Swank, executive vice president and chief commercial officer for Beacon Roofing Supply. “Beacon Pro+ is the industry’s most robust online platform tailored to the needs of the professional contractor. These enhancements help Beacon’s hardworking customers gain a competitive edge by providing 24/7 access to the functionality and information that enables them to work smarter and faster in today’s competitive environment.”
An automated order workflow enables customers to create a customized process for ordering and approvals. This streamlines the ordering process and allows contractors and their sales teams to purchase with confidence.
The integration of JobNimbus will provide customers access to live pricing and the ability to send material orders directly to their Beacon Roofing Supply location from the JobNimbus platform. Launching in the first quarter of 2019, this partnership combines the project management capabilities of JobNimbus and Beacon’s set of digital tools, Beacon said.
Also launching in the first quarter of 2019 is a Beacon Track feature that allows customers track deliveries from their smartphone or computer. Customers will be able to request text or email alerts when their project is scheduled or delivered. Detailed pictures of the delivery will also be provided to validate that everything has arrived accurately and on time.
Based in Herndon, Va., Beacon Roofing Supply is publicly traded and operates 552 branches in all 50 states and 6 provinces in Canada.
