Foundation Building Materials Modernizes Business Operations with RingCentral’s Cloud Communications Solution

RingCentral, Inc., a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact center solutions, announced that Foundation Building Materials (FBM), a leading construction materials distributor for the commercial construction and residential building trade, has selected RingCentral Office® as its cloud communications solution, including team messaging, video meetings, and a cloud phone system, to enable more than 3,600 employees to work from anywhere.

With operations spread out across over 180 locations in North America, FBM was looking to centralize its business communications into one solution, moving away from its multi-vendor legacy systems. FBM also needed a more reliable solution that provided greater mobility and multi-modal communication capabilities for staff—both office workers and drivers—to work productively from anywhere.

“Reliability of service was a key factor for us, as we are a 24/7 shop and customers need to be able to reach us at all times,” said Wasi Ahmed, CIO of Foundation Building Materials. “Since onboarding with RingCentral, we have experienced zero outages and our drivers are accessible no matter where they may be on their routes. We’ve also been able to resolve one of our biggest pain points—billing. Prior to switching to RingCentral, billing was a nightmare, with having to account for multiple providers. It was impossible to forecast budget appropriately, not to mention the vast difference in the quality of service you would receive. With RingCentral, we only need to think about one communications vendor for all our needs across messaging, video, and phone for the entire company.”
