These problems are quietly eating into project profit and collection efficiency
With multiple sites running in parallel, progress, material usage and worker attendance are all reported verbally on site. Management can't see project status in real time, and overruns and delays happen often.
Material demand is forecast by experience, so purchasing brings both surplus and shortage. Overstock and work stoppages waiting for materials coexist, hurting project rhythm and cash flow.
Sales follow-up records live in personal WeChat; when a salesperson leaves, they take customers with them. Dealer credit, rebates and collection ledgers run on Excel, with a high error rate.
With many material specs and frequent price swings, manual quotations are slow and prone to omissions, and long waits for price comparisons hurt deal conversion.

Gantt charts for multi-site tasks; construction progress, material usage and worker attendance reported online from mobile — management sees every project's status in real time.

A real-world building materials digitalization practice
Questions you may have about the building materials solution
It suits building materials manufacturers (tiles, coatings, doors and windows, steel, etc.), general and sub-contractors in construction, decoration and fit-out companies, as well as building materials dealers and traders. Whether you are a manufacturer focused on supply chain or a construction firm focused on project progress control, Hoobang offers a matching solution.
It solves four problems: opaque project progress, imprecise material procurement, customer follow-up scattered in WeChat, and slow quotation. After go-live, project managers can report site progress and material consumption from their phones in real time, the sales team's customer follow-up records are fully archived, and management can check the profit-and-loss status of every project at any time.
It can integrate with mainstream finance and ERP systems such as Yonyou and Kingdee, syncing project settlement data to the financial accounting module. If you already have an inventory system, it can also be integrated via API or scheduled data sync to avoid duplicate data entry.
The system supports cloud deployment (private cloud or Hoobang-hosted cloud). Personnel at multiple job sites can operate anytime via mobile App/mini-program; all data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access scope is controlled by role permissions, and a project lead can only see the sites they are responsible for.
The standard customer CRM + quotation modules go live in 2-4 weeks; a full solution including project management, supply chain and dealer management takes 4-8 weeks. Cost is tailored to the scope of requirements — please call 400-003-2253 for a consultation.
