Manager, Business Systems
We're used to software vendors over-promising and under-delivering. With Canals, it worked much better than expected. The few issues we had were addressed immediately. Adoption by our users has also amazed us. We hope you continue to amaze us with your dedication to being the most responsive vendor we’ve ever worked with.


Cole Harrison
Vice President of Operations
Implementation was quick and painless, and benefits were recognized immediately. The team at Canals has been wonderful to work with and responsive.


Jerry Herring
E.V.P. of Sales & Marketing
As early adopters of artificial intelligence, we've seen our quoting get faster and smarter than ever, and it's definitely boosting sales. The technology is also a training and retention tool. I've had one of our guys say to me "I wouldn't work anywhere without this."


George Vorwick
President, CEO
Tasks that previously took hours of inside sales time now take minutes. We tried another solution and just couldn’t make it work. Canals’ AI application is the future of order entry. It's had a significantly positive impact on our business, and the more we use it the better it gets.


Jim Warshauer
President
The integration was done in just a few days, and our sales team started seeing the impact immediately. Instant gratification. The speed and quality they've brought to addressing our specific needs are like nothing else I've experienced in distribution software.


Dominic Desmond
Chief Operations Officer
The product and team have delivered on everything they've said, and it just keeps getting better. Whenever we've requested any kind of customization, they've listened carefully to our needs and implemented solutions in days. You guys make stuff happen.

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.
