You supplied the shell. Who supplies the fit-out?
You supplied the shell. Who supplies the fit-out?
Acto follows your customers through the construction phases, matches quotes against orders and flags when roofers, drywall installers or contractors buy part of their demand elsewhere.
Acto is a partner of Eurobaustoff
Signals your sales team sees every morning
Example: Contractor Hartmann accepted the shell quote. Sand-lime bricks and mortar were delivered, insulation and sealing from the same quote were not. Acto suggests following up before the site reaches the next stage.
Example: Shell deliveries to a developer ended six weeks ago. Comparable projects now order drywall and screed, and no request has come in here.
Example: Roofer Brüggemann has not picked up small materials at the counter since February, while tiles still arrive by drop shipment. The high-margin stock business is moving away, and Acto flags it before the whole customer leaves.

Which companies in the building materials sector is Acto suitable for?
Acto is ideal for classic full-range suppliers, specialized dealers (e.g., roof, wood, tile), and building elements traders who manage a broad assortment and many B2B customers.
How does Acto help increase cross-selling across trades?
Acto recognizes when customers buy products for the structural shell but haven't yet requested the logically following products for the interior fit-out (drywall, screed, windows), and generates corresponding prompts.
Does Acto distinguish between drop shipment, stock and trade counter business?
Yes. The three types of business have very different margins. Acto assesses them separately, so stable drop-shipment revenue does not hide a decline in stock or counter business.
