Streamlining Material Procurement for Architects, Carpenters, and Builders

Banner IMG

Overview

Client’s Business Goals

Gatherco, an Australia-based architecture and interior design material company faced the critical challenge of building an end-to-end material sourcing platform to facilitate bulk purchase of interior design architects by carpenters, and builders without delays and in an efficient manner.

Problem Statement

Gatherco grappled with several challenges

The current material sourcing process involved navigating a fragmented supply chain. Wholesalers, manufacturers, and retailers operated independently, resulting in redundancy, communication gaps, and suboptimal pricing.

Architects and builders spent valuable time scouring multiple platforms, catalogues, and suppliers to find the right materials. This manual effort hampered productivity and delayed project timelines.

Transparency regarding product availability, pricing, and quality remained elusive. Because of this lack of transparency, often builders struggled to make informed decisions, often compromising on either cost or quality.

The absence of seamless product discovery and payment solution prevented buyers to grab cost saving opportunities such as cost comparison and exercising cost negotiations.

Solution

A Holistic Approach to Efficiency

ENCODEDOTS designed a user-friendly showroom section, categorizing products by family, format, color, and material. Architects could seamlessly explore products, eliminating traditional complexities in bulk purchasing.

When users selected a product, they accessed comprehensive details: finish, size, thickness, edge, quantity, and pricing. Transparency empowered informed decisions.

Users can now manually provide requirement details, receiving transparent market-rate-based quotations. Builders can choose to accept or negotiate before placing an order.

Following purchases, users earn credit scores based on subtotal, ensuring benefits applicable to future orders. ENCODEDOTS integrated a secure payment gateway for seamless and safe transactions.
