Territories are won contractor by contractor
Supply sales are won locally: reps need to know every contractor in a territory and reach the busy ones first. Directory lists are long and flat. They don't say who is growing, who does the kind of work you supply, or which contractors already have an account with you.
Ripple builds the territory map for you: every contractor around a branch, researched from its own website, scored against the kind of account you want, with the ones you already serve left out.

How Ripple helps
Map each branch’s territory
Start a ripple scan at a branch and push outward ring by ring. Ripple tracks which towns and trades it has searched, so no part of a territory is skipped.
Leave out existing accounts
Scans skip companies already on your call list, so new-account lists only show contractors you haven't signed.
Prioritize by the work they do
Crew size, services, service area and recent projects come from each contractor's site, scored against the account you want.
Send reps out with a reason
Each lead comes with reasons to call and an opener that mentions the contractor’s recent work.
What a call brief looks like
Reason to call
Posted three deck and addition projects this summer, all inside your delivery area.
Opener
“Hi Marco, it's [your name] from [your company]. I saw the two-level deck you built in Guelph this summer, so I'm curious: where are you buying your lumber and hardware right now?”
FAQ
Questions from suppliers and distributors
Can I plan sales territories around my branches?
Yes. Start a scan at a branch and choose a radius, or run a ripple scan that pushes outward one ring at a time. Each scan shows how much of its area has been searched, and Find more picks up where it stopped.
Will Ripple show contractors we already sell to?
Not if they're on your call list: scans skip companies you already have, so new-account lists only show contractors you haven't signed yet.
Which trades can I search for?
Any business type Google Maps lists: general contractors, renovators, roofers, framers, concrete and masonry, landscapers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC and more. Each scan picks its own business types.
