We don’t fear complexity; we organize it. We transform fragmented, messy systems into a highly organized, efficient, and sophisticated operation.
Unified Commerce for Hardware & Home Improvement
Serve DIYers and pros from one unified platform that connects ecommerce, stores, marketplaces, and job-site delivery.
- Real-time inventory and delivery promises reflecting branch availability
- AI-native product discovery that understands specs, compatibility, and projects
- Modular platform: start with OMS, ecommerce, or microservices
Trusted by leading home improvement and building supply retailers who run omnichannel fulfillment and pro channels on KIBO:
Where technical catalogs, pro buyers,
and tight timelines collide
Hardware buyers expect you to have every SKU, every size, and every delivery option, while your tech stack still thinks in simple products and one-channel orders.
- Complex attributes, specs, and fitment make products hard to find when search and navigation aren’t tuned for tradespeople.
- Split orders across stores, DCs, and vendors create spiraling costs when routing rules can’t balance margin, SLA, and capacity.
- Pro accounts, quotes, and job-site deliveries live in separate systems, so buyers never see a single, accurate view of pricing or availability.
KIBO gives hardware retailers and distributors a unified platform for ecommerce and order management, so every cart, quote, and delivery promise is backed by real inventory and orchestration.

FAQs
Can we support both consumer and pro buyers on one platform?
Yes. KIBO supports guest checkout, accounts, quotes, POs, and price lists in the same Commerce and OMS platform, so you can serve DIYers and pros without duplicating systems.
Does KIBO integrate with our existing ERP, POS, and WMS?
Yes. KIBO is API-first with pre-built integrations and connector patterns for ERPs, WMS/3PLs, and other systems.
How does KIBO handle complex routing and transfers?
Order Routing (included in the Inventory Promising module and KIBO Order Management / OMS) lets you balance cost, lead times, capacity, and business rules across DCs, stores, and vendors. Transfers and multi-step flows are supported via routing and fulfillment configuration.

Is there AI‑powered search?
