Expansion & Acquisition Paterson Do It Best is part of a broader consolidation trend within Do it Best Group, highlighted by the acquisition of True Value and ongoing strategic partnerships. This presents sales opportunities in integrated product ecosystems, cross-brand promotions, and unified supplier programs across the expanded network.
Retailer-Exclusive Collaborations Recent partnerships with major suppliers such as Sherwin-Williams and Estwing indicate a focus on exclusive or co-branded product lines. A sales approach can target exclusive SKUs, private-label opportunities, and category exclusivity arrangements to differentiate independent hardware and building supply locations.
Technology Enablement The tech stack includes AWS Lambda, NetSuite, Epicor, and e-commerce/cart functionality, signaling readiness for digital procurement enhancements, ERP-integrated ordering, and data-driven merchandising. Opportunities exist to offer advanced procurement platforms, analytics, and supplier portal integrations.
Scale & Reach With nearly $6B in annual sales across thousands of independent locations and international distribution, there is substantial potential for scalable solutions such as supply chain optimization, bulk purchasing programs, and logistics services tailored to multi-location retailers.
Leadership & Growth New executive appointments like a Chief Operating Officer and strategic partnerships suggest a focus on operational integration and growth. This creates openings for enterprise-level services, advisory engagements, and implementation of streamlined vendor-management and store operations solutions.
