BuyMaterials introduces building materials marketplace
Posted: Wednesday, January 24th, 2024
BuyMaterials.com has just launched in London and the Southeast, with plans to expand across the UK this year. Linking buyers directly to over 100 local merchants and offering universal Trade Accounts with 30-day terms. The marketplace, accessed via the website (www.buymaterials.com) or the mobile app, allows trades to build a list of everything needed for a job and receive quotes automatically from their network of merchants. You can then place your order, with one click ordering via your Universal Trade Account, and keep track of all quotes and orders in one place. Rob Lovell, CEO of BuyMaterials, said “After spending years in the UK Construction industry, I couldn’t believe the amount of time that we spent contacting merchants for quotes, comparing, and following up quotes... and the amount of paperwork and emails! “It seemed like madness, and so inefficient. It also takes up a load of time for the merchants, with around 25% spent on producing and chasing up quotes. With the market so fragmented, it felt like the ideal time to launch a marketplace which makes life easier for everyone – tradespeople and merchants alike."
