The Challenge

A leading steel and cement manufacturer with a market capitalization of over USD 27 billion sought to modernize its technology strategy. Despite a strong distribution network, the client lacked: 

  • Visibility into primary and secondary sales 

  • A digital channel to generate demand from homeowners, architects, and contractors 

  • A unified platform for distributors to place and manage orders 

The goal was to create a mobile-first experience that could drive lead generation and evolve into a full-fledged commerce platform.
