The CPE integration in Bouwflow, from webshop to building site
With Bouwflow, the products and your prices from the CPE webshop land straight in your calculations, purchase orders and stock. The roofing and facade items arrive with their article number and your purchase price, and Bouwflow keeps those prices current every day. Nobody retypes article numbers or prices by hand.
What is CPE?
CPE is a Belgian wholesaler in roofing and facade materials, active since 1988 and part of the Tectum Group. The company serves professional roofers, facade specialists and contractors, and supplies everything for flat roofs, pitched roofs and ventilated facades.
With around ten branches across Belgium, from the distribution hub in Genk to Melle, Sint-Niklaas, Schoten, Kontich, Turnhout, Pelt, Bekkevoort, Vichte and Herstal, and its own webshop at shop.cpe.be, CPE supplies leading brands such as Eternit, Koramic, Velux, VM Zinc and Soprema, alongside its own premium brand BossCover. Roofers and facade specialists order the materials for their site there and pick them up at a nearby branch or have them delivered to the site.
