SpecBooksManufacturers
Sell More. Know More. See What’s Selling, Where, and Why.
Your products are selected, quoted, and specified every day, long before a purchase order ever reaches you. SpecBooks gives brands and manufacturers visibility into that activity and the tools to act on it. See which dealers are quoting your line, find new dealers already selling your categories, and put accurate pricing, inventory, and product data in front of every buyer. From the first product search to the final order, SpecBooks helps your brand strengthen your dealer network, win more projects, and make decisions based on real market demand.
How SpecBooks works
SpecBooks is the platform that connects manufacturers, showrooms, distributors, designers, builders, engineers, homeowners and contractors across plumbing, lighting, appliances, decorative hardware, PVF, waterworks, and HVAC products.
SpecBooks takes trade partners from product discovery to specification, quote to project win, and submittal to closeout, all in one place. Powered by real-time content and pricing sourced directly from brands like you.
The scale of that activity is the data asset: more than 22 million enriched SKUs from 3,300+ manufacturing brands, roughly
7 billion in product value moving through the ecosystem each year, and 8 million+ products specified annually. Every search, comparison, specification, quote, and dealer interaction leaves a signal of real market demand, upstream of the purchase order.
Built for how manufacturers do business
Operations. Data. Intelligence. Commerce.
Everything your brand needs to support dealers, manage product information, understand demand, and grow sales, all in one platform.
Operations
Connect Once. Sell Everywhere.
Simplify how your products, pricing, and orders reach your dealer network. SpecBooks connects your ERP and internal systems to the platform your dealers already use every day, so your team spends less time on price sheets, support calls, and manual updates, and more time selling.
ERP & System Integrations
Connect your ERP to SpecBooks once, or upload net sheets. Two-way integration with SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks, Salesforce, and other ERP, PIM, and CRM platforms through the SpecBooks API eliminates duplicate entry and costly errors.
Dealer-Specific Pricing
Each dealer sees the pricing assigned to their account, including every rep-specific discount, right where they select and quote products. No more circulating pricing updates or outdated price lists.
Inventory Visibility
Show real-time pricing tiers, regional availability, and current inventory levels. Dealers confirm availability without calls or emails, and your team fields fewer support requests.
Next Gen EDI (coming soon)
Exchange purchase orders, confirmations, invoices, shipments, and inventory updates with your distribution network in real time and in both directions. This replaces slow batch files and manual EDI mapping.
Product Data
Your Catalog. Accurate Everywhere Your Products Are Sold.
Your products only win when dealers and specifiers can find them, compare them, and trust the details. SpecBooks enriches and normalizes your catalog, pricing, and specifications into clean, consistent data that flows to every dealer and specifier on the platform. You don’t need to maintain separate feeds for each partner.
How Your Product Data Works
One Feed to Every Dealer
Our dedicated data team sources, enriches, organizes, and maintains more than 22 million SKUs across 3,300+ brands, including yours. Your products stay accurate on SpecBooks without adding work for your team.
Sourced From You, Maintained by Us
Send us your catalog, price files, and submittals, or connect your systems directly. Our team keeps your records current as you launch new products, revise specifications, or discontinue models. No more chasing outdated PDFs or updating spreadsheets for every dealer.
Complete, Enriched Product Records
We standardize your SKUs, configurations, finishes, and variants. Then we enrich them with compliance details, images, cut sheets, warranties, and installation guides, so dealers and specifiers have everything they need to choose your products.
Product Data Requests, Handled
Missing a product, image, or spec? Showrooms and distributors can submit a request, and our data team will source the missing information and update your records across the platform.
Structured to Be Found and Sold
Your products are organized in a standardized taxonomy of categories, product types, product line and attributes. That structure powers filtering, side-by-side comparisons, AI recommendations, and quoting, so your products show up when dealers are assisting buyers.
PIM: Product Information Management (coming soon)
Manage, validate, and distribute your product information from a single source of truth across your entire dealer network.
Intelligence
See Demand Signals Before the Order. Act on It First.
SpecBooks Conduit turns real buying activity across the SpecBooks ecosystem into actionable insight for your sales, marketing, and product teams. Every search, comparison, specification, quote, and dealer interaction is a signal of real market demand, captured upstream of the purchase order. SpecBooks Conduit shows you where your brand is growing, where it’s slowing, and where new volume is waiting.
How SpecBooks Conduit Works
Dealer Network Insights
See your entire dealer network on one interactive map, from state level down to every location. Know which dealers are quoting more of your line, which are quietly slowing down, and which projects are in play, so your reps call the right dealers this week, not next quarter.
Find New Dealers
Identify dealers quoting your categories without carrying your products, filterable by state, price tier, and category. Conduit matches them to your brand by catalog mix, price segment, and category activity. It’s a ready-made prospect list your competitors are already working.
Brand Performance
Know exactly how your brand performs in the real market. Track buyer interest, pricing competitiveness, selection-to-conversion rates, category rankings, and average project value across the SpecBooks ecosystem.
Content Health Score
Spot and fix product content issues before they affect performance. Strengthen attribution and give dealers and specifiers everything they need to choose your products with confidence.
Real-Time Market Trends
Track top-performing products, pricing tiers, and your category market share. Forecast regional demand, uncover competitive adjacencies, see what sells alongside your products, and find high-demand, low-availability gaps to guide production, pricing, distribution, and time-to-market.
List Price Optimization (coming soon)
Move beyond material-cost pricing. Based on real quotes, see where you should be priced against comparable products, where demand supports higher prices, and where you can grow margin while protecting unit volume.
Commerce
Make It Easier for Your Dealers to Sell Your Products.
Put your entire catalog and your reps’ special pricing directly into the hands of your distribution network, on the platform they already use every day.
