Renovation Supply E-Retailers

RenoRun Makes Building Supply Deliveries More Speedy and Convenient

— September 22, 2020 — Art & Design
RenoRun is an online building supply retailer that consists of contractors serving other contractors. Aiming to make building supply orders and deliveries more seamless and convenient, the brand is described as "a technology company, a retail company and a construction materials company" all at once.

"We harness the power of data and technology to streamline building supply, with the convenience of online shopping. We’re proud to be a concept born in Canada and we couldn’t be more grateful to the customers who believed in us from the beginning and continue to rely on our dedicated staff. Together we’re building a better industry with every material run," said RenoRun CEO Eamonn O'Rourke.

In addition to a streamlined e-commerce website, RenoRun also features an accompanied mobile app, allowing for the customized and simplified sourcing of materials, a high quality material selection, flexible delivery times and last minute deliveries when needed.
Trend Themes
1. Contractor-focused E-retailers - E-retailers focused on serving the needs of professional contractors with quick and convenient delivery of building supplies can disrupt the traditional retail industry.
2. Mobile App-based Material Sourcing - The integration of a mobile app for customized and simplified material sourcing can revolutionize the construction industry and provide a competitive edge to companies adopting this technology.
3. Technology-driven Streamlining - The use of data and technology to streamline building supply orders and deliveries can transform the construction industry and create new opportunities for innovation in this field.
Industry Implications
1. Building Material Retail - The traditional building material retail industry can benefit from adopting technology and data-driven processes to better serve their customers and compete with emerging startups like RenoRun.
2. Construction Services - Construction service companies who incorporate streamlined e-retailers into their supply chain can improve service quality and efficiency while gaining a competitive edge in the market.
3. Logistics and Delivery - The development of last-minute delivery services and customized delivery options for building supplies can create new opportunities for logistics and delivery companies looking to innovate and meet the evolving needs of the construction industry.
