What runs the business today
- Standalone books and basic ERP
- Distributor orders over phone and WhatsApp
- Carpenter engagement run through local schemes
- Minimal digital marketing infrastructure
Data already being created
- Distributor and carpenter contact base
- Grade, thickness and price realisation history
- Timber and veneer input cost records
- Warranty and quality complaint notes
Where value leaks today
- Category is dominated by unbranded supply and price discovery is opaque
- Carpenter influence is decisive but untracked
- No pricing intelligence against regional competitors
- Little brand signal online in a category where trust drives choice
