Built for Blish-Mize dealers
Rundoo gives Blish-Mize retailers a single platform for POS, inventory, ordering, and vendor management, all connected to Blish-Mize's systems so the data moves itself instead of living in separate portals and re-keyed purchase orders. Founded in 1871 in Atchison, Kansas, Blish-Mize has spent more than 150 years delivering over 52,000 products to independent retailers, and Rundoo is built to work the way its systems expect across a heartland network spanning 13 states.
Your Blish-Mize workflows, built into Rundoo
Load the Blish-Mize catalog
Blish-Mize's full product catalog loads directly into Rundoo, including UPCs, descriptions, costs, retail pricing, and warehouse availability from the Atchison distribution center, so your inventory always reflects what Blish-Mize actually stocks instead of what you half-remember from the last paper catalog.
Order over EDI, with your pricing
Place purchase orders from Rundoo straight to Blish-Mize over a secure EDI connection with your store's pricing on the order, so your price labels come back correct and there's no separate portal, no re-keying, and no crossing your fingers that the numbers match.
Receive against the shipment
When Blish-Mize ships an order, the shipment notification loads automatically into Rundoo with line items, quantities, and costs ready to receive, so you select the shipment, confirm what showed up on the truck, and move on with your day.
Keep costs and prices current
Blish-Mize price changes flow into Rundoo automatically, keeping your member costs and retail prices accurate without anyone opening a spreadsheet or wondering whether last week's update actually got applied.
Keep your catalog clean
When Blish-Mize updates a product, changes a UPC, or discontinues an item, Rundoo picks it up automatically, so your catalog stays clean without the kind of manual cleanup that eats an entire Tuesday afternoon.
Built for hardware retailers
Rundoo is purpose-built for independent hardware stores, with workflows for the counter, inventory, purchasing, customers, and accounting.
Blish-Mize dealers on Rundoo
Independent hardware, lumber, and building materials stores across Blish-Mize's heartland network run their counters on Rundoo.
Trade shows
Blish-Mize hosts Customer Buying Markets twice a year in Kansas City, bringing together hundreds of independent hardware, lumber, and building materials retailers from across their 13-state territory for buying deals, vendor introductions, and the kind of industry conversations that only happen when you put a few hundred hardware people in a room together with Kansas City barbecue.
Rundoo is a Platinum Plus sponsor of Blish-Mize's markets, and we're on the show floor demoing the platform, presenting to Blish-Mize's sales representatives, and talking with store owners who are ready for software that actually talks to their distributor. If you're heading to a Blish-Mize market, come find us at the booth. We'll show you what AI-powered ordering looks like when it's connected directly to Blish-Mize's systems, and you can tell us about the hinge your customer swears they bought last spring.
Referral program
Blish-Mize participates in the Rundoo Referral Program. When Blish-Mize's reps refer an independent supply store that goes live with Rundoo, the rep receives a $500 thank-you, plus $50 as soon as that store has a qualified conversation with us, and the store gets 25% off their one-time implementation fee.
