Architecture and interior products distribution. Multi-year partnership; now a recognised category leader in the segment.
01The context
A respected distributor with category-leadership ambition.
The client had strong principal relationships and architect networks but the operating discipline to scale into a category leader needed structured installation - dealer productivity, architect-specifier tracking, SKU rationalization, and sales-MIS rigor.
02The diagnosis
The constraint was discipline, not ambition.
All the raw inputs of a category leader were present. What was missing was the operating rhythm to compound them - dealer-level productivity dashboards, architect specification tracking, SKU rationalization and a sales-MIS cadence the leadership team owned.
03What we installed
The interventions, in order.
- Dealer productivity dashboards — Performance per dealer tracked weekly. Underperformers identified, top performers celebrated.
- Architect-specifier tracking — Specification pipeline tracked end-to-end - from designer brief to project win.
- SKU rationalization — Long-tail SKUs reviewed against contribution; portfolio simplified.
- Sales-MIS cadence — Weekly review on five lead indicators became the leadership team's operating rhythm.
04The outcomes
Numbers, not deliverables.
