Collaborate on jobs to\u00a0<\/span>streamline estimating, ordering and project management<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

At Buildxact we talk a lot about building. Construction. Remodeling. Perhaps even more importantly, we talk about the people involved throughout the process – builders, trades, <\/span>dealers<\/span>,\u00a0consumers, even coaches and accountants!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we chat with our builders and our\u00a0<\/span>dealers<\/span>, the main thing they want, no they\u00a0<\/span>need<\/span><\/i>, is time. How they would choose to spend that time differs \u2013 some might spend it getting new business\u00a0and\u00a0talking with existing customers,\u00a0others might spend it with the family,\u00a0or at the golfing range. But\u00a0what rings true is that\u00a0time is an important commodity.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what if we were to tell you we\u2019ve found a way to save builders and\u00a0<\/span>dealers<\/span>\u00a0a ton of time?\u00a0What if there was a way to streamline\u00a0an\u00a0everyday\u00a0activity\u00a0completed\u00a0for every job? Well,\u00a0we have,\u00a0and\u00a0there is!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rework cycle\u00a0challenge<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Since the beginning of time, builders have contacted their\u00a0<\/span>dealers<\/span> with a list of items to quote. Some might even send plans so the d<\/span>ealer<\/span>\u00a0can do the takeoffs\u00a0for them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge has been that the plans may change, or the measurements were incorrect, an item was missed, or prices were not up-to-date. All of this results in multiple phone calls and emails back and forth to arrive at the final dealer quote.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Integrated up-to-date supplier price catalogs<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Today Buildxact launches Supplier Integration. A new feature that brings builders and dealers together to collaborate on jobs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Builders can now view their\u00a0<\/span>dealer’s<\/span> price\u00a0catalogs\u00a0automatically\u00a0integrated\u00a0into their workflow on Buildxact.\u00a0With up-to-date pricing on hand, builders can\u00a0work on\u00a0estimates\u00a0at a time that suits them, sending\u00a0a\u00a0quote to their customer in hours,\u00a0rather than days or weeks.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The benefits of [my deale<\/span>r\u2019s<\/span>] price list offered through Buildxact, it stops all those phone calls in between and waiting for prices and quotes,\u201d said John\u00a0<\/span>Peros<\/span>, director at\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Peros<\/span> Built.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dealer <\/span>recipes will also save builders time and money by removing the need for those last-minute trips to the local\u00a0<\/span>dealer<\/span>\u00a0for missed items\u00a0that\u00a0weren\u2019t included in the customer quote.\u00a0<\/span>Recipes<\/span> group\u00a0together SKU\u2019s\u00a0(or items)\u00a0to create a\u00a0packaged component. For\u00a0example,\u00a0a door,\u00a0door jambs, hinges,\u00a0and\u00a0lockset\u00a0could make up a door recipe.\u00a0With one click,\u00a0the\u00a0recipe\u00a0adds all the items to an estimate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Better yet, <\/span>dealer’s<\/span> price catalogs will simplify builder’s accounts payable and increase profit margins. With d<\/span>ealer<\/span> items automatically appearing as an option in estimates, builders are likely to order more items from their main dealers<\/span>\u00a0f<\/span>or ease in delivery, management, and invoicing \u2013 fewer invoices, fewer headaches! With the latest pricing and all items captured in the quote (i.e., no unexpected expenses from last-minute\u00a0<\/span>dealers<\/span>\u00a0trips), builders can be confident\u00a0in\u00a0their profit margins for each job.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our research shows that the likelihood of winning a job increases the earlier a quote is received. Integrated\u00a0<\/span>dealer<\/span>\u00a0catalogs\u00a0and recipes\u00a0equals\u00a0time saved, more jobs won, and better profits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if a builder needs a quote for an item not in the price catalogs, they can easily collaborate with their <\/span>dealers<\/span>\u00a0in Buildxact to quickly turn around a customized quote. Stay tuned for more on this one!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Place orders online anytime<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once builders have won the job, they simply click the items needed to order in Buildxact and submit to their\u00a0<\/span>dealers<\/span> online. With the product codes included in the purchase order (from the dealer’s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>catalog), <\/span>dealers<\/span>\u00a0have the information they need to accurately\u00a0fulfill\u00a0the order. Easy, fast, and accurate, this process enables\u00a0builders\u00a0to place orders early to secure stock.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Collaboration for the win<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

With the launch of Supplier Integration, builders and <\/span>dealers<\/span> can connect on Buildxact to collaborate on jobs. And we are talking a true collaboration here, the relationship forming kind. From those chats we had with builders and d<\/span>ealers<\/span> came the realization that\u00a0there is a shared\u00a0unified\u00a0goal \u2013 both aim\u00a0to win more work, both require\u00a0efficiency in quoting\u00a0to do so,\u00a0and both benefit from the other’s success!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Connect\u00a0to take advantage of\u00a0Supplier Integration<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

With <\/span>dealers<\/span> already listed in Buildxact, builders can connect now to integrate price catalogs and recipes into their workflow. Generate customer quotes in a fraction of the time, be confident on price, and secure\u202fin the knowledge nothing has been missed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
