Doors, frames, hardware, and security systems distributor with 90+ U.S. locations
Cook & Boardman is a 1,000+ person distributor of doors, frames, hardware, and electronic security systems operating 90+ locations across the U.S. The tech stack reflects a hybrid model: construction-focused tools (Procore, Bluebeam, Revit, AutoCAD, Plangrid) dominate the project layer, while back-office runs on Salesforce, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, and QuickBooks. Hiring velocity is accelerating with construction roles leading (70 open), followed by engineering (42) and security (27)—signaling expansion in both installation capacity and integrated solution delivery. Pain-point data shows acute pressure on margins, production deadlines, and work-in-progress cleanup, typical of a distributor scaling complex, engineered projects.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead, Fiber Lead

The company serves commercial, healthcare, hospitality, education, government, industrial, and multi-family segments through direct locations and an online portal.
