The Desco integration in Bouwflow, from webshop to building site

With Bouwflow, the products and your prices from the Desco webshop land straight in your calculations, purchase orders and stock. The plumbing, heating and ventilation 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 Desco?

Desco is a Belgian family business and a wholesaler in plumbing, heating and ventilation, and one of the market leaders in its sector. The company has been around for more than sixty years and serves both the professional installer and the private customer, with branches and showrooms spread across Belgium.

Its range counts more than 15,000 articles, from bathrooms, taps and boilers to ventilation, water treatment, roofing products, renewable energy and installation material. Installers order the materials for their site through the Desco webshop at desco.be and pick them up at a nearby branch or have them delivered.

Integration

How does the Desco integration work in Bouwflow?

The Desco integration works like our other webshop connections. You switch it on in Bouwflow with your Desco account, and from then on the products and prices from the Desco webshop come into the software where you already manage your sites, calculations and orders.

Supplier and material management in Bouwflow
  • You activate the Desco integration in Bouwflow under Settings, Webshops, with the details of your own Desco account. That way your price agreements with Desco keep applying.
  • Bouwflow pulls the products and your purchase prices from the Desco webshop into your material management, with their article number and description. Nobody has to retype references.
  • Your purchase prices stay current every day. Bouwflow refreshes the Desco prices, so your calculations and quotes stay realistic.
  • You keep managing your orders in Bouwflow. Based on your material requests, Bouwflow creates one purchase order per supplier, and on delivery you book everything into your stock.
  • As you book it in, Bouwflow compares what you ordered, received and were invoiced. Differences stand out right away, so your post-calculation matches the real material cost of the site.
