PACOA

Rundoo, the AI-first platform for independent supply stores, partners with PACOA (Paint Applicators Corporation of America), the Northeast's leading independent wholesale distributor of paint, hardware, lumber, janitorial, and building supplies, bringing modern, unified software to PACOA's network of retailers across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

Why this matters

PACOA has been a family-owned operation out of Port Washington, New York for over 40 years, built on a simple idea: independent dealers deserve a wholesale partner who knows their business and picks up the phone when they call. Their dealers carry a wider range of categories than most hardware distributors, and that edge gets harder to hold when the owner is reconciling purchase orders all evening instead of planning tomorrow's endcap.

Rundoo fills that gap with a single system that brings POS, inventory, ordering, receiving, price changes, and item maintenance together in one place. PACOA does not currently offer a direct integration with any POS systems, including Rundoo, so these workflows are managed inside Rundoo rather than synced automatically between the two systems. If you'd value a PACOA connection, let your PACOA rep know!

PACOA hosts their Spring and Fall Dealer Markets at Queens College in Flushing, New York, bringing independent paint, hardware, and building supply retailers across the Northeast together for buying, networking, and the kind of hallway conversations that only happen when you put a few hundred store owners and their favorite reps in one gym. At the Spring 2026 Dealer Market, Rundoo presented to PACOA's full sales team, ran demos across two days, and created over a dozen new opportunities, and PACOA's reps have become some of our most enthusiastic advocates.
