ContractorSupplyBid.com Takes the Digging Out of Green and Construction Industry Sales Processes
As demand and costs for construction and related materials continues to increase; many contractors and suppliers are finding it more and more difficult to connect. Using our new “Conexx System” on (www.contractorsupplybid.com) contractors materials requests are automatically distributed to building materials, landscape, masonry and related suppliers instantly. With a staff is comprised of construction and technology professionals the system has been designed to allow ease of use by those that are or are not technology savvy.
Braintree, MA (PRWEB) February 16, 2005 -- Landscape and construction materials pricing can vary widely. This is primarily due to transportation costs, product deficiencies, overstocked and discontinuations. In recent months and years some construction materials have been out of stock for months at a time. The inconvenience this places on the contractor when either looking to purchase specified materials or complete a project is overwhelming. Having an estimating department is all but a dream for many contractors and for those that do it becomes costly to utilize their talents searching for or just ensuring the best pricing for materials.
Using our system allows a contractor to instantly source materials from a wide variety of vendors locally and nationally. Using our online platform RFQ’s can be placed anytime day or night. Once the request is entered it is sorted and distributed to all possible suppliers for pricing.
For suppliers looking to expand their business and reach a targeted audience the options are few online. The construction marketplace online has been dominated by a slew of free link sites. As with many other advertising options it is all too easy to become lost. Our system works within the suppliers capabilities. New suppliers are asked to provide a product listings and what states or regions they are looking to service. They are also given an opportunity to receive all requests in a category, allowing the opportunity to provide pricing on alternate products, a fairly common practice within the industry. When a request is generated from a contractor for a product they carry in a region they supply, they are automatically notified by email.
“It is crucial that we develop a platform that is easy to navigate and utilize for all parties involved, the response has been an overwhelming yes so far. We spoke with a wide variety of contractors and suppliers in order to incorporate what they felt were needed. We are making looking at new ideas daily to incorporate new ideas.” said Bill Mendon Operations Support Manager.
The business landscape has changed forever, we are positioned to accommodate the sales and procurement needs of the green and construction industries. Our staff has worked hard through the development and implementation of the site. The experience of building a system like this from the ground up allows each staff member the opportunity to interact more efficiently with our clients and their needs and adapt the system to them when needed.
