Regional building-materials distributor digitizing operations with low-code automation
mobau Wirtz & Classen operates a 22-location building-materials wholesaler across western Germany, now mid-transformation on Microsoft 365 governance and process automation. The tech stack—Power Platform, Power BI, Apache Superset, SQL—reveals a shift away from manual workflows toward self-service analytics and low-code apps. Hiring is sales-forward (13 of 22 roles) but with meaningful data and engineering hires, signaling intent to build internal capability rather than stay purely operator-led.
Founded in 1996, mobau Wirtz & Classen is a privately held, family-owned distributor of construction materials across the Heinsberg and Mittlerer Niederrhein regions. The group operates 22 locations and serves builders and contractors with full product scope from foundation through roofing. Alongside regional sales, the company is investing in digital workplace infrastructure—knowledge management platforms, intranet development, and process documentation—while simultaneously rolling out business-intelligence solutions and low-code automation to reduce manual order and logistics work.
