Building materials and data transformation go hand in hand

Sleiderink Bouwmaterialen has been a trusted name in the construction industry for decades. As an independent family business with locations in Denekamp and Oldenzaal, it not only supplies high-quality timber and building materials but also provides personalized advice that goes beyond standard solutions.

As data becomes increasingly the driving force behind smart business operations, Sleiderink is taking the lead in an industry where innovation often lags behind. From gaining insights into customer needs to optimizing internal processes, Sleiderink leverages the power of data to stay one step ahead. For both customers and themselves.

Sleiderink does not view data as a byproduct, but as the key to growth. By setting up a robust data infrastructure, the company enables data-driven decisions – decisions that lead to better customer experiences and more efficiency in operational processes. The goal? To prepare every aspect of the organization for the future. 

From raw numbers to a strategic edge. By seamlessly integrating data from GA3, GA4, and Magento into an innovative data warehouse, Sleiderink looks far beyond traditional metrics to truly understand customer behavior and fine-tune workflows. Microsoft Fabric has proven to be the perfect partner in this digital acceleration. This all-in-one solution centralizes resources, reduces costs, and opens the door to advanced analytics and AI innovations. A crucial step for an industry where margins and sustainability are becoming increasingly important.

The first dashboards, built with Power BI, are already providing sharp insights for product management, marketing, and internal sales. Best of all, the Sleiderink team isn't just using these tools; they are mastering them independently, securing a valuable long-term investment. With Microsoft Fabric, Sleiderink is fully prepared for a future where artificial intelligence is a daily tool to work faster, smarter, and more sustainably. Innovation never stops, and neither does Sleiderink.

The result is an organization that doesn’t just react, but consistently stays ahead of the curve. Sleiderink's journey toward a data-driven future is already visible in a number of impressive results:

Better customer and process insights thanks to a well-designed data infrastructure that integrates data from sources like GA3, GA4, and Magento.
