When the Independent Builders Merchant Group (IBMG), the largest builders’ merchant in the South of England, set out to bring 12+ sub-brands and 180 branches under one technology umbrella, they weren’t just looking for a supplier. They wanted a long-term strategic partner who could deliver a truly unified IT infrastructure.
This is where BDR Group stepped in.
The Challenge: A Complex IT Landscape
Rapid expansion meant IBMG had inherited multiple legacy systems across its sub-brands. To keep pace with growth and future acquisitions, IBMG needed:
- A single, secure cloud infrastructure.
- Unified communications across more than 2,000 employees.
- Standardised connectivity with a scalable SD-WAN solution.
- A reliable managed services framework to tie everything together.
In short: a partner who could simplify complexity and create stability.
