Could this become the Amazon for builders?
With a vision to make the lives of builders easier Snaffle Solutions have created an online marketplace dedicated to making it easier for builders to buy their products and create extra sales for traditional suppliers in the industry.
Suppliers of building materials can upload their entire product range onto the e-commerce platform allowing customers to compare prices, browse an unlimited range and place orders to be fulfilled directly through suppliers own warehousing and logistics.
With a combined 25 years’ worth of experience in supplying construction companies big and small, the co-founders of Snaffle Solutions Limited believe there is a fast-growing appetite for builders to purchase their building products online; guaranteeing fast delivery with no downtime collecting materials. Wanting to give back to the industry they have worked in for many years, they are passionate about making the process of getting materials to site more efficient.
First time buyers will be able to search for everything they require for their project and compare costs from multiple suppliers in the Industry. The site is designed to find the best price or closest supplier depending on what is more important to them. And that’s anywhere in the country.
Snaffle’s co-founder Luke Robertson said:
“It’s brilliant to see how this is benefiting everyone in the industry - both customers and sellers! On one hand we are giving many well-established more traditional businesses in the market extra sales with an online presence, and on the other we are making the builders lives easier by getting goods to site more efficiently”.
One study Snaffle undertook showed that on average a builder or tradesperson can spend 2.8 hours a day in their van driving to and from merchants. Snaffle are convinced that if they can give the builder that time back, the job will get done quicker and there will be more profitable project completions!
Its key to also mention that Snaffle is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to become a seller. Snaffle has created a user-friendly platform where suppliers can upload their products at no cost, giving access to millions of users who require them urgently. Working on a unique algorithm, vendors will receive orders from new customers who can receive the goods competitively and conveniently without any marketing or sales expense of their own.
