Key people at TOOLBX.
TOOLBX develops an AI and digital experience platform specifically for independent building suppliers. The company provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to modernize operations, including customer portals, accounts receivable management, and e-commerce functionalities. Its technology assists suppliers in establishing a robust digital presence and streamlining interactions with their professional customers through intuitive online interfaces.
The company was founded in 2017 by Erik Bornstein, who brought over 15 years of experience within the building materials industry. Bornstein identified a critical pain point in the sector: the inefficiency of traditional, manual processes that often required skilled workers to divert time from core construction tasks for administrative and procurement activities. This direct insight into industry frustrations motivated the creation of a solution to digitize and simplify these workflows.
TOOLBX primarily serves independent building material dealers and lumber yards, empowering them to compete effectively in a digitally evolving market. The platform enables these businesses to offer self-serve options to their clients, enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. The company’s vision is to help building material suppliers thrive by providing the digital infrastructure necessary to meet modern customer expectations and optimize business processes.
