Home Depot Integrates Distribution Networks for Pro Customers

Home Depot is integrating its SRS and GMS distribution networks with its own stores, sales teams, digital operations, and delivery network. This move allows the company to pursue larger professional customers and capture more of their spending.

The 90% completion rate of SRS Distribution sales through Home Depot's QuoteCenter platform in the past 12 months is a clear indication that this strategy is taking shape. The acquisition of GMS expanded the distribution network into wallboard, ceilings, steel framing, and related construction products.

Home Depot plans to open 40-50 additional SRS locations during fiscal 2026, giving it multiple routes to reach professional customers. This includes stores, outside sales representatives, QuoteCenter, SRS branches, GMS locations, specialty distribution businesses, and digital channels.
