A house's materials list became supplier-ready purchase orders — without the spreadsheet work-week.
Every house begins as a materials list. Before a single order goes out, that list has to become purchase orders — each line matched to the right supplier and formatted the way that supplier expects to receive it.
The builder was doing all of it by hand, in spreadsheets. It took 30 to 40 hours for every house — skilled time spent copying, sorting, and double-checking instead of building.
A system that takes the materials list and produces supplier-ready purchase orders directly. It knows which supplier each item belongs to and how each order needs to look, so the output is ready to send — not a draft someone still has to clean up.
Getting there meant understanding the operation first: how this builder buys, who they buy from, and what "correct" looks like for each supplier. The technology was the last 10% — the first 90% was learning the business.
A week of data entry per house wasn't a software problem until someone understood the buying first.
What took 30 to 40 hours now takes seconds — one click. The people who used to spend a work-week per house on data entry got that week back, and the orders that go out are more consistent than they were by hand.
