I’m always thinking of new ideas, and how to solve problems that I see in everyday life. I also help manage and co-own a painting company here in Denver Colorado, so I’m daily ordering materials for projects and I had a thought… What if you had an online superstore/marketplace of construction product providers to provide a similar unified experience to construction products that consumers have with Amazon, Walmart, etc.

The platform would allow for:

One-click ordering across all marketplace products
Single easy to use portal
Summarized COGS reporting for contractors
Project cost tracker for materials
Unified invoices and receipts for easy tax accounting
The platform would tack on an ordering fee for using the platform, something like 2-5% of the order. Or even a flat rate $10 per order surcharge to keep things simple (excluding cc fees)
Vendors could sign up by themselves, adding their catalog of products to the marketplace
Example Vendors to make it End to End for construction contractors:
- Home Depot
- Lowes
- Ace Hardware
- Sherwin Williams
- Benjamin Moore
- Beacon Roofing Supply
- ABC Supply

With enough vendors on the marketplace, the process of ordering materials for most contractors could be simplified to a single click as well as simplifying the process of tracking receipts, vendors, and project costs.
