THB Streamlines Supply Chain and Improves Project Delivery with The Build Chain

"Before joining The Build Chain, the company's procurement process was inefficient. The slow and manul process of having to contact merchants had led to the company relying heavily on pre-existing quotes and agreed rates from suppliers. Without realising, the company had been overpaying for materials..."

“The Build Chain allows us to contact multiple suppliers in the space of minutes, providing rates quickly and easily accessible through their online portal. Not only does The Build Chain offer THB financial gain, but also allows the company to engage with local suppliers, streamlining our supply chain, and helping to improve the delivery of our projects.”

David Broughton, Commercial Director

  • One enquiry received three quotes in 15 minutes, with the quickest arriving in 3 minutes and 49 seconds
  • 14 of the 18 quotes were delivered within two hours

The construction industry has seen substantial increases in prices over the last few years so every penny counts towards making projects commercially viable.

We work with Contractors of all types to provide efficient solutions...

The construction industry has had its challenges recently with price inflation and product availability.

Our vision is to deliver efficiencies in supply chain solutions by effectively sourcing local suppliers, competitive pricing and product availability. The platform allows users to drive enquiries online – filtering by stock, location and availability. This ensures contractor enquiries only reach relevant suppliers which improves the buying process and optimises true value.
