We provide a streamlined marketplace where SMEs can come together and purchase construction materials at scale. Here, SMEs have access to discounted prices at manageable volume levels without the hassle of back-and-forth calls and emails.
Here are some of the problems SME construction firms often face...
Procuring raw construction materials involves a lot of phone calls, text messages, and back and forth communication. Goods delivered might be in the wrong quantities and/or incorrect specifications, leading to lost sales and wasted time re-ordering. There is also a lack of visibility on the actual delivery date and time resulting to long waiting times, and coordination with employees to handle inbound orders.
Prices of hundreds and thousands of SKUs are cataloged in several pages of paper, which are difficult to collect information from, update and maintain. Inquiring customers are made to wait as employees search through stacks of paper for a simple price quote. Despite this, many SME companies keep stacks of notebooks to record weekly changes in prices, as current business software solutions require special training and are optimized for desktop.
Construction materials go through many retailers before ending up with the end user, resulting in retailer margins adding up around 33% to the original selling price before reaching the end user. There is also an opportunity to bypass the minimum order quantities serving as barriers to more affordable bulk prices.
Leveraging the power of technology, we offer the following solutions for the problems above...
