Our mission: Enable small and mid-sized construction stakeholders a way to achieve higher profit margins and overall project success through superior materials management by transforming the way materials purchasing is handled in the construction industry.
We aim to bring order to the often chaotic process of purchasing materials through our innovative Purchasing-as-a-Service (PaaS). This service combines our expert personnel with our proprietary software to create a platform that emphasizes real-time transparency, accountability, and cost control.
Designed for those involved in both new construction and renovations, PaaS offers an effective alternative to traditional material purchasing methods by helping manage the significant costs of construction projects. It's particularly beneficial amid the challenges of inflation, supply chain disruptions, and material shortages, ensuring materials are delivered on-time and on-budget.
Our strategy is built on two key premises:
First, by controlling material inventory costs you gain control over the total cost of construction. Therefore, how you choose to manage your materials assets directly affects both labor productivity and profitability.
Second, there is a direct correlation between task progress and the actual quantity of material inventory installed for that task. PaaS objectively measures the exact installation progress of each subcontractor’s task — and reports the Percentage of Completion in real-time.
Our team of Purchasing Assistants utilizes our advanced software to oversee the procurement process meticulously. This involves deep product knowledge, pricing acumen, computer skills, and understanding of local regulations. We safeguard your project from common pitfalls such as incorrect purchases, overpayments, stock shortages, and theft, ensuring that deadlines are met and profitability is maximized.
Much like how Software-as-a-Service revolutionized software usage, Purchasing-as-a-Service revolutionizes material purchasing by enhancing the process, providing increased control, and improving accountability. Unlike traditional PropTech software solutions, PaaS requires no software purchases or training on your part; we handle everything to leverage profits on your behalf.
We've spent over five years developing this integrated platform to manage every aspect of materials management — from purchasing and quantifying to sourcing, secure delivery, and real-time reporting—throughout the construction lifecycle.
