Easy and efficient

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.

Co-Owner, Atlantic Plumbing Supply

The product speaks for itself. I think it sells itself, honestly.

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.

Continuous Improvement Leader

It's so fun working with your engineers

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

Everyone says they love Canals

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.

Paul Kennedy

Canals is the real deal

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.
