Published purpose

TOOLBX is building a three-sided marketplace connecting builders, suppliers, and trades to coordinate material procurement for construction projects. This technology will solve three key problem areas for the construction industry: a) Communication around order procurement, b) Sharing order & delivery information, and c) Pricing and payments. This project solves several key barriers to material procurement: - No way to passively track project and procurement updates. - No way to update existing systems automatically when updates occur. - No way to search, cost-code, and export invoices digitally. - No way to re-order similar material quickly. - No way to visualize, understand and predict business needs in real-time.
