  • Processes orders 24/7, including after hours

02 / SALVAGE

Surplus Inventory Recovery

Overstocked lumber, returned roofing, discontinued HVAC components — most distributors sell this at deep discounts or write it off. GrainFly Salvage lists your surplus across multiple marketplaces automatically, recovering real revenue with minimal staff time.

  • Photo and basic details — 2–3 minutes per item
  • Lists across online sales sites, industry platforms, and your webshop
  • One dashboard for messages, pricing, and re-listing

Built for the building products industry

We don't build generic software. Every GrainFly product is designed around the specific workflows, systems, and constraints of building products distribution.

60%+

of contractor orders still arrive via email, text, or phone — and require manual entry into ERP systems.

3–7%

of a typical distributor's annual inventory becomes surplus — most of it sold at a steep discount or written off entirely.

2–4%

error rate for manual order entry, leading to mis-picks, returns, and damaged customer relationships.

24/7

GrainFly Intake processes orders around the clock — no more next-morning backlogs from after-hours submissions.
