Hardware distribution with in-store robotics and direct logistics
Hillman is a manufacturing-classified distributor moving ~1,200 field sales and service staff through home improvement, hardware, and farm-fleet retail channels. The tech stack reveals dual operational modes: legacy ERP (Oracle, SAP, AS/400) and warehouse automation (Manhattan WMS, CNC, forklift systems) supporting physical logistics, paired with modern retail tech (Shopify, Salsify, HubSpot). Active hiring skews heavily toward sales (74 roles) and operations (25), with junior-level velocity accelerating — typical of field-driven, labor-intensive distribution scaling.
Hillman Solutions provides hardware, protective gear, and robotic solutions (key duplication kiosks, tag engraving) to retail and farm-fleet chains across North America. The company operates a dedicated in-store sales and service team and maintains a direct-to-store shipping network. Core product categories span fasteners, screws, work gloves, jobsite storage, and self-service kiosk systems. Founded in 1964 and publicly traded, Hillman has built competitive advantages through logistics density and vendor relationships with major retailers.
Oracle, SAP, and AS/400 for core ERP; Manhattan WMS for warehouse management; AWS for infrastructure; Tableau and Power BI for analytics; Shopify and Salsify for retail integration; HubSpot and Salesforce Marketing Cloud for sales and marketing.
