Pay-On-Delivery (POD): Revolutionizing Efficiency at the Construction Site

A New Way to Buy Materials and Tools Without Leaving the Job Site

In construction, time is money, and efficiency is the key to success. That's where Pay-On-Delivery (POD) comes in – a game-changing mobile sales solution that delivers construction materials and tools directly to workers at construction sites. Our unique service ensures that workers no longer need to leave the job site to get more items critical to completing tasks, thereby significantly enhancing productivity and profitability.

Understanding the Challenge

At the heart of many construction projects lies the unpredictable need for materials to keep a project going. Items like solder, butane, nails, and screws are often under or overestimated, leading to unexpected shortages. These shortages can bring work to a halt, necessitating emergency runs to stores for items that might cost less than $20 but result in far greater expenses in lost labor and travel costs.

The Ultimate Convenience Store on Wheels

POD is your local home center on wheels. We understand that minor items can have major implications on project timelines and budgets. That’s why we bring the most frequently needed items right to your jobsite. Our skilled delivery personnel are more than just drivers; they are experienced contractors armed with a deep understanding of your needs and the expertise to advise and assist on the spot.

Beyond Just Deliveries

We don't just stop at delivering small items the job site. Our service extends to taking orders for larger items like lumber and drywall, scheduled for delivery at your convenience. Our mobile, hand-held technology facilitates on-the-spot ordering and payment, streamlining the process to a mere few minutes.

Efficiency, Convenience, and Expertise

The inventory on our trucks is meticulously organized in racks and bins, ready to be delivered at your request. Our field sales/drivers, backed by sophisticated software and experienced purchasing managers, ensure accuracy and satisfaction in every order. This level of service, blending product knowledge with field experience, is unparalleled in the construction industry.

Cost-Effective Solutions

We understand the value of your time and budget. Our pricing is competitive, with a nominal convenience fee that is easily offset by the savings in time and transportation costs. Payments are flexible, accommodating both worker and owner preferences.

Our commitment is to keep your project moving, reducing downtime, and ensuring that you have what you need, when you need it.
