The Buildex Connect platform
One platform connecting manufacturers, hardware shops and the capital that moves between them.
Buildex Connect is the platform Buildex Interiors is building to move from product supply to infrastructure for Kenya's construction material market — connecting what a manufacturer produces to what a builder buys at a local hardware, and financing the stock in between.
How the chain connects
Manufacturer
Lists verified products
Buildex Interiors
Supplies and delivers
Hardware shop
Stocks and sells
POS & wallet
Captures the transaction
Every transaction feeds the next credit decision, stock recommendation and market insight.
Walk the build
Every section, and who it is for
The prototype covers four audiences and three businesses. Each link opens the real screens with seeded data — nothing here is a mock-up image.
Manufacturer onboarding
A manufacturer applying to sell on Buildex Connect
Nine steps from sign-up to a live listing — account, phone, company, directors, KYB documents, then verification against BRS, KRA and IPRS.
Manufacturer dashboard
A manufacturer already trading on the platform
What a verified supplier runs day to day: their catalogue and price bands, the enquiries coming in, regional campaigns and what their listings actually did.
Buildex Admin
Buildex staff: operations, risk, commercial and support
The internal console — verification decisions, supplier standing, listing moderation, enquiry oversight and one activity trail across the whole platform.
The marketplace
A hardware shop buying materials
What a hardware shop sees: search by product, supplier or delivery region, compare quantity price bands, then send a quote request.
Suppliers & vendor bills
Buildex finance and procurement
Buildex Interiors' own purchase ledger — the mills, hauliers and clearing agents it buys from, what is owed to each, and which records are incomplete.
Three businesses, one chain of data
Each part is useful on its own. Together they capture the whole chain — from what a manufacturer produces to what a consumer buys — and every transaction improves the next decision.
