Your team's help is making the transition from submitting wire quotes, using the old Eclipse method to a more robust Canals interface, easy and efficient. Thank you and your team very much for all the hard work on this. We really appreciate it.

When you consider the cost of hiring a person who would be completely dedicated to sales order entry–and you multiply that cost across every branch, and you assume they can do so quickly and without error–you see how minimal the cost of Canals is.

You can just see the wheels in their head turning and it's like, "Why didn't I think of that?" They never say no. It's always, "Yeah, we can do that."


Jennifer Cianciarulo
Vice President Customer Experience
One of the questions someone asked during a recent town hall was, "We're not losing Canals, are we?" Nope, we are not losing Canals. Canals is a fixture. It is going to be here.

As DSG has expanded to serve customers across electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and waterworks, technology has always been a key enabler of our growth. Canals is now our gold standard for how technology can continue driving the business forward. It not only increases productivity so we can grow more efficiently, but also improves the customer experience and employee-owner experience. There’s a lot of hype when it comes to AI, but Canals is the real deal, the best-in-class product delivering real results that matter.


Tammy Paters
Director of Pricing
The team always works on the enhancements we request. They're super easy to partner with.

Canals is built to connect with common construction accounting systems, and has a proven track record of complex ERP integrations with suppliers. Implementation is fast with minimal IT lift. Dozens of integrations are pre-built for quick and easy setup, and our dedicated implementation team is there to support at every step of the way.
Canals for contractors was built by and for construction industry veterans who know the challenges of your day-to-day work in and out. Its design is based on the observed behaviors of these teams and their in-depth feedback. Crews submit requests they already communicate, whether that’s a voice note, a text, or a photo of a handwritten list.
Canals was created to remove the painful parts of your job that cost time and money you don’t have: tedious and error-prone manual data entry, chasing down answers to “where’s my stuff?” and managing thousands of emails a week. Instead of a patchwork of spreadsheets and sticky notes, Canals offers automations that give real-time visibility, eliminate re-keying, and help your business scale.
Canals was designed to simplify the complexity of the construction industry. Large buyouts, blanket purchasing orders, release management, and multiple document formats are all handled natively, so no matter your volumes or project complexity, Canals is here to simplify.
