Margin intelligence
Every customer priced below where they should be, with the dollars attached.
Sorted biggest first, with the corrected price sheet one click away.
For independent distributors
There's money stuck in your building. We build the software that gets it out.
We read the data your business already produces, find where the money's leaking, and build the exact tool that stops it.
Diagnostic: flat fee · Build: fixed price, agreed before work starts

The leaks
You already know something's leaking. Here's what it usually looks like.
-
Stale pricing
The 2019 price
Copper moved in March. Lumber reprices weekly. Part of your price file never caught up.
You're now paying that customer to buy from you.
-
Dead stock
The top shelf
Valves bought for a 2022 job that fell through, counted at every inventory since.
It's not inventory anymore. It's money you already spent, sitting where nobody can use it.
-
Slow quotes
The quote that sat
A contractor emailed an RFQ Tuesday morning. By Thursday he'd bought from the supply house across town.
And he'll start there next time, too.
-
Order entry
The retyping job
Your best inside person spends half the day retyping emailed POs, line by line.
That's sales wages spent on data entry.
-
Aging AR
The invoice nobody chased
An invoice at 74 days. Not disputed, not shorted, just nobody's job to call.
It gets less collectable every week it sits.
None of it shows up in a standard report. It shows up once a year, as a bottom line smaller than it should've been. That's the money we go find.
Tell us which one sounds like your building →The proof
The proof is a working product, not testimonials.
Every screen below is the real product, running on realistic demo data. And every one ends in something you can act on: a price sheet, a transfer file, a quote.
Ask Distill
Type a question the way you'd say it out loud.
Plain English over sales, inventory, vendors, and quotes; say "build a dashboard of…" and get one.
Dead stock
What's been sitting, how long, and what it's worth moving.
Every dying SKU matched to the branch that still moves it, transfer file built. Cash off the shelf now.
Purchasing
Reorder suggestions built from what actually moves.
Days-of-supply math and carton rounding, not a min/max somebody set in 2018.
Quoting
A contractor's emailed parts list, priced before he's back in the truck.
Paste the request as it came in; it comes back priced for that customer, ERP-ready.
What we build
Distill is the starting point. Your mess is the job.
One pain, one tool that kills it.
The chore
The build
Your inside person retypes emailed POs all day.
A PO-reading agent that drafts the order for your person to check and post.
Vendor cost files land in an inbox and sit there.
A cost-file updater that flags which prices need to move, and by how much.
Quotes take hours because someone's digging through history.
A quote assistant that puts last price, current cost, and target margin on one screen.
Old invoices age because chasing them is nobody's job.
An AR chaser that drafts the reminder and tells you who to call today.
You bought another supply house. Now there are two price books and two inventory files.
One merged price book and one stock list, reconciled and ready to load.
Something else entirely.
If the fix is software, we'll scope it. If it isn't, we'll say so on the call.
You don't need a 12th system. You need the leak fixed.
The engagement
How an engagement works. Every term in writing.
We price the work, not the seat count. You'll have one fixed number before anything starts.

Flat feeyour whole exposure
The diagnostic
One export from your system, as-is; your ops person pulls the file. We hand back a written report: where the money's sitting, in dollars, by customer, product, and branch.

Fixed pricequoted before work starts
The build
Half up front, half when it works in your hands. Shipped in weeks, transition support included.

Month to month
The retainer (optional)
For changes after handoff, priced to scope. Leaving is one email, and nothing turns off.
What you own when it's done
The code. The data. The logins. The docs.
No per-seat fees, ever.
Fixed price · agreed before work startsThe difference
You've bought software before. Some of it nobody opened after month two.
We built this business around not being that.
Ferguson has a data team. The roll-ups buying up your competitors have data teams. Now you've got one too, and we only work your side of the counter.
- Keep your ERP. We read the exports it already produces. Nothing gets migrated.
- Nobody has to adopt anything. The diagnostic is a written report, not a rollout.
- One team accountable. The people who scope your build write it and answer when it breaks.
- Weeks, not quarters. If a build can't ship in weeks, we won't sell it to you.
- You own it outright. If we part ways, everything keeps working.
Who you're talking to
The people on the call are the people who build it.
A small senior studio, one industry: independent distributors. We built the platform on this page to prove the work, and we cap the client list. You talk to the engineers who wrote your software.
adhyyan.chhabra@gmail.comThe fine print
The questions an owner would ask.
- Q.01 Do we have to change our ERP? Is this an IT project?
- No. We work from a few exports and an hour of someone's time, spreadsheets included. No migration, no server install, no connector project sitting between you and the answer.
- Q.02 Our data's a mess. Half the fields are wrong or blank.
- That's normal, and cleaning the file is part of the job. Send it as-is; if it's too broken to read, we tell you that plainly before anything else happens.
- Q.03 My guys won't touch new software. They barely use what we have.
- The diagnostic isn't software your team has to adopt. It's a written report to you, and anything built later is built around how your people already work.
- Q.04 What happens with our data?
- A few read-only exports; nothing connects to your ERP and nothing writes back. We sign an NDA first, there's no reselling and no training on it. Want to start smaller? Send one branch.
- Q.05 What happens to our software if Distill goes away?
- You'd still own everything: code, data, logins, docs any developer could pick up tomorrow. That's in the terms, not a promise on a call.
- Q.06 Other vendors promise margin points. What do you promise?
- Nothing up front. Promised points are marketing; the diagnostic computes your number from your own transactions, and you keep the findings either way.
- Q.07 What if you look at our numbers and there's nothing there?
- Then you get a clean bill of health, in writing, and you stop wondering. That's worth knowing too. It's a small industry and our name's on the work.

- You walk us through how orders and quotes move today, and we show you Distill on realistic data.
- If we can help, you'll know what the diagnostic covers and costs. If we can't, we'll say so.
