Remarcable growth playbook

Diagnosis

Remarcable is doubling revenue, connects over 250 MEP contractors to more than 1,300 distributors, and moves over $1 billion of material a month. Its hiring shows the next step: a new go-to-market for distributors led by a Senior Product Marketing Manager, more AEs and BDRs for contractors, and a Data Scientist for Remarcable Intelligence and customer reporting.

The website has not caught up: the supplier page is titled for contractors, the Distributor, Mechanical and Plumbing links lead nowhere, every story is electrical, numbers disagree, and the homepage fails Core Web Vitals.

This playbook gives distributors a home page, fixes the numbers and links, builds trade pages and proof, then turns distributors into a channel, offers a free invoice check, and builds a price index from the order data.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Distributors: Remarcable already connects 8,600 branches, and a distributor product with its own page, proof and packaging can both earn revenue and send contractors its way.

Biggest Risk

Selling to distributors could make contractors question neutrality, while Kojo and distributor portals compete for the same orders; the message must stay supplier-neutral and contractor-first.

Start here

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

  1. 1

    Give distributors a page of their own: the supplier page still sells to contractors

    Rewrite the supplier page title and headline for distributors, and fix the footer link.

  • 01

    Remarcable is hiring a Senior Product Marketing Manager to build a new go-to-market for distributors, and it already connects over 1,300 distributors and 8,600 branches. But the page a distributor finds is titled "Supplier Tools for Contractors", leads with "Trusted by 40% of the top 50 US electrical contractors", shows no distributor result, and offers one action besides a demo: refer a contractor. The "Distributor" link in the footer goes nowhere. A branch manager or distribution owner has no page that speaks to their business.

    Change the title and headline today and watch distributor traffic in Search Console.

    Why it works

    Rebuild /solutions/supplier as the distributor home before the new PMM starts writing launches: a title and headline in distributor language (counter time, order accuracy, contractor loyalty), the real network numbers, the ERPs it connects to (SAP, Epicor, Eclipse), a short "how a PO reaches your counter" walk-through, one distributor quote, and a "Talk to our supplier team" form that asks for ERP, branch count and trade. Point the footer "Distributor" link to it, and use it as the landing page for NAED and distributor outreach.

    The distributor launch needs a page to send people to, and the PMM post itself names the proof distributors want: orders handled, disputes avoided and hours back at the counter.

    Ready to use

    ChecklistDistributor page launch list

    [ ] Title and H1 in distributor language

    [ ] One distributor quote or number
    [ ] Distributor form: ERP, branches, trade
    [ ] Footer "Distributor" link fixed

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Contractor messaging gets diluted

      Keep contractor and distributor pages separate, each with its own proof.

    • Distributors worry about neutrality

      Say plainly that Remarcable is supplier-neutral and pro-distributor, as the job post does.

    Evidence

    • HiringSenior Product Marketing Manager, Supplier (posted October 13, 2026, Omaha or Vancouver): "We're building for distributors" and the role is "on the core team for this new go-to-market"; "the products, the positioning, and the go-to-market programs are all still being written". The PMM will define the ideal distributor, write positioning "from a blank page, in partner language", shape pricing and packaging, run beta and early-access launches, build the first sales playbook, and "turn early customers into proof" with "the numbers distributors care about: orders handled, disputes avoided, and hours back at the counter"; work with "industry groups such as NAED". The post says Remarcable "connects over 250 MEP contractors to more than 1,300 distributors and over 8,600 integrated branches, with more than $1 billion in material moving through the platform every month" and is "doubling revenue year over year".Source
    • Your websiteSupplier page (/solutions/supplier): the page title is "Supplier Tools for Contractors"; the headline proof is "Trusted by 40% of the top 50 US electrical contractors"; it lists EDI, API and OCR integration, "SAP, Epicor, Eclipse, or a custom homebrew system", a catalog of "over 300,000 items", in-order messaging and a supplier dashboard; the only call to action besides "Request demo" is "Contractor referral", a third-party form. There are no distributor results, quotes or customer names on the page.Source
    • Your websiteFooter on every page (checked October 22, 2026): under "Who we serve", the "Mechanical", "Plumbing" and "Distributor" links point to "#" (nowhere), as do "Vendor Managed", "Shipment Tracking" and "Analytics" under Solutions and Platform.

    • Your websiteSitemap (179 URLs, checked October 22, 2026): 97 blog posts, 18 integration pages (all accounting and project-management systems such as Sage, Vista, Spectrum, QuickBooks, Procore, BuildOps; none for distributor ERPs), 9 team pages, 2 partner pages; it also lists five /draft-pages/ URLs that robots.txt disallows, plus pilot and thank-you pages. No comparison pages apart from "excel-vs-procurement-software".Source
  • 02

    The PMM post says Remarcable connects over 1,300 distributors and 8,600 branches; the pricing FAQ says the supplier network is "400+". The field page says the catalog has over 175,000 products; the supplier page says over 300,000. Buyers who compare pages, and AI assistants that summarize them, see conflicting facts.

    Smallest test

    Fix the "400+" in the pricing FAQ today.

    Why it works

    Agree one current figure for each claim (contractors, distributors, branches, catalog items, monthly material volume), store them in one place in the CMS, and use that field on every page, the pitch deck and the press boilerplate. Add an "as of" month.

    Consistent numbers build trust with finance buyers and stop AI summaries quoting the old, smaller figure.

    Remarcable announced in July that it is "now built for mechanical and plumbing contractors" and the homepage calls it "Built for MEP Contractors", but the footer links for Mechanical and Plumbing point nowhere, and all eight customer stories are electrical.

    Publish the mechanical page this week with the footer link fixed.

    Why it works

    Publish /mechanical and /plumbing pages: the trade's problems (pipe, fittings, valves, duct, long-lead equipment), the features that answer them (side-by-side pricing, hold-for-release, 4-way match, the Stratus prefab beta), a quote from a mechanical customer, and links to the AHR and SMACNA content. Link them in the menu and footer.

    Trade-specific pages rank for trade-specific searches and give AEs a link to send to each contractor type.

    The referral page invites customers to refer "an electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or HVAC contractor" for a Yeti Cooler, and the form offers Electrical, but the terms say the referred contractor "must work in plumbing, mechanical, or HVAC".

    Defer one testing script and re-run PageSpeed.

    Why it works

    Inline the critical CSS, load fonts with swap, defer every script that is not needed for the first view, and load testing and visitor tools after interaction. Re-test in PageSpeed and watch the field LCP.

    Contractors often open the site on a phone at the jobsite; a faster first view keeps them and helps search.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Broken tracking

    Distributors trust other distributors, and measured counter time is the clearest value story.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Distributors will not share numbers

      Use ranges and let them approve the copy.

    The supplier page says Remarcable connects to "SAP, Epicor, Eclipse, or a custom homebrew system", but all 18 integration pages are accounting and project-management systems. A distributor checking whether its ERP is supported finds nothing to read.

    Publish one ERP page and link it from the supplier page.

    Why it works

    Publish one page per distributor ERP: what syncs (price files, stock, PO acknowledgments, invoices, ship status), how long setup takes, what the distributor's IT team must do, and a contact for the supplier success team.

    IT and operations leaders search for their ERP by name, and the pages answer the first objection in a distributor deal.

    Interview one mechanical purchaser this month.

    Why it works

    Ask the mechanical and plumbing contractors who helped build the catalog for a story each, with the numbers they track (hours saved on ordering, invoice errors caught, double buys avoided under hold-for-release).

    Peer proof is what convinces a trade that software built for another trade fits theirs.

    Why it works

    Build a short calculator: annual material spend, number of purchasers, POs a month, invoice error rate. It estimates hours and dollars at risk (overcharges, double buys, re-keyed POs) using customer averages, and passes the answers to the AE.

    An estimate in the buyer's own numbers starts the discovery call where the AE wants it.

    Put a QR sheet on one counter.

    Why it works

    Give integrated distributors a co-branded kit: a one-page "order from us through Remarcable" sheet, a counter display with a QR code, and a tracked referral link per branch. Report back to the branch on referred contractors' order volume.

    Distributors gain easier orders from their contractors, so their reps have their own reason to recommend Remarcable.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Distributors favor some contractors

      Keep the program open to every branch customer.

    Why it works

    For each region, list the integrated branches, then the contractors that buy from them (from public trade association lists and the distributors' own referrals), and open with "your supplier is already connected". Sequence them by trade and size.

    Run three checks by hand.

    Why it works

    Offer a free check: a prospect uploads one month of supplier invoices and POs, Remarcable runs them through its matching and returns a short report of price, quantity and tax gaps. The AE reviews it with the CFO.

    Money found in their own invoices is the strongest reason to buy, and it shows the AI working.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Data security concerns

      Use SOC 2 controls and delete files after the review.

"Customers routinely see double-digit profit improvements".Source

    Superintendents say the field "fell in love" with Remarcable, but the iOS app has only 7 ratings. Field users are the people most likely to praise it, and a stronger rating helps when contractors check before buying.

    Why it works

    Smallest test

    Test one package with three distributors.

    Why it works

    Define two or three packages by branch count and features (order intake, quote and PO messaging, dashboard, analytics), price them per branch, invite 20 distributors to early access, and publish the packages after the pilot.

    Clear packages make the distributor product easy to buy and to forecast.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Charging distributors hurts neutrality

      Keep the core connection free and charge for added value.

    Evidence

    • HiringSenior Product Marketing Manager, Supplier (posted October 13, 2026, Omaha or Vancouver): "We're building for distributors" and the role is "on the core team for this new go-to-market"; "the products, the positioning, and the go-to-market programs are all still being written".

    Publish one chart for copper wire.

    Why it works

    Publish an aggregated monthly index for 20 common items (wire, conduit, pipe, fittings), by region, with commentary. Never show any one distributor's prices. Offer it by email and share it with trade associations.

    Original data earns press and links, and makes Remarcable a monthly habit for buyers who are not yet customers.
