Builders merchants in the UK are increasingly turning to big data to streamline operations, improve customer service, and boost profitability. This article explores how big data can transform builders merchant operations, with insights from iWeb’s 30 years of e-commerce experience.
Leveraging customer data for personalised experiences
Understanding customer behaviour is crucial for any business, and builders merchants are no exception. By analysing customer data, merchants can tailor their services to meet individual needs. For instance, tracking purchase history allows merchants to recommend products that customers are likely to need, enhancing the shopping experience.
Here at iWeb, our expert solution architects use advanced analytics tools to help builders merchants segment their customer base. This segmentation enables targeted marketing campaigns, which can significantly increase conversion rates. According to Adobe Analytics, personalised marketing can boost sales by up to 20%.
Optimising inventory management
Effective inventory management is vital for builders merchants. Overstocking ties up capital, while understocking can lead to missed sales opportunities. Big data helps merchants strike the right balance by predicting demand patterns based on historical data and market trends.
iWeb’s e-commerce expertise includes integrating advanced inventory management systems with Adobe Commerce. This integration ensures real-time inventory updates, reducing the risk of stockouts and overstocking. A study by Adobe Real-time CDP found that businesses using data-driven inventory management saw a 15% reduction in holding costs.
Enhancing supply chain efficiency
A smooth supply chain is the backbone of any successful builders merchant operation. Big data can identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the supply chain, allowing merchants to address issues proactively. For example, analysing delivery times and supplier performance can highlight areas for improvement.
The team at iWeb specialises in end-to-end ERP integration, including Epicor BisTrack ERP integration. This integration provides a comprehensive view of the supply chain, enabling merchants to make informed decisions. According to Adobe Experience Cloud, businesses that optimise their supply chain with big data can reduce operational costs by up to 10%.
Improving pricing strategies
Pricing is a critical factor in the competitive builders merchant market. Big data allows merchants to develop dynamic pricing strategies that respond to market conditions and customer demand. By analysing competitor prices, sales data, and market trends, merchants can set prices that maximise profitability while remaining competitive.
iWeb’s talented team uses Adobe Analytics to help builders merchants develop data-driven pricing strategies. This approach ensures that prices are always aligned with market conditions, leading to increased sales and customer satisfaction. A report by Adobe Target found that dynamic pricing can increase revenue by up to 25%.
Boosting marketing effectiveness
Marketing is essential for attracting and retaining customers. Big data enables builders merchants to create targeted marketing campaigns that resonate with their audience. By analysing customer data, merchants can identify the most effective channels and messages for their campaigns.
iWeb – an enterprise e-commerce agency, leverages Adobe Marketo Engage to help builders merchants optimise their marketing efforts. This platform provides insights into customer behaviour, enabling merchants to create personalised and effective marketing campaigns. According to Adobe Campaign, targeted marketing can increase customer engagement by up to 30%.
Enhancing customer service
Excellent customer service is key to building long-term relationships with customers. Big data can help builders merchants identify common customer issues and address them proactively. For example, analysing customer feedback can highlight areas where service can be improved.

For example, automating order processing can reduce errors and speed up delivery times.
