Run your building materials operation with tools built for how you sell and deliver
Turn supply-yard workflows into simple apps with YeshBe. Build a product catalog with specs and submittals, a contractor quote and order portal, delivery scheduling with proof of delivery, inventory by yard, supplier purchase orders and team dashboards — just by describing what you need.
Start with the basics
Build the tools your supply yard actually needs
Supplying lumber, concrete, roofing and hardware means managing thousands of SKUs, variable units (piece, pallet, bundle) and job-specific pricing — plus trucks, routes and tight delivery windows. Quotes must turn into accurate pick tickets and deliveries, while stock, backorders and vendor lead times stay in sync.
Use YeshBe to build custom apps and tools around your operation: a product catalog with specs and submittals, a contractor quote portal that becomes orders, an internal inventory dashboard with supplier purchase orders and a delivery schedule with proof of delivery. Start with one workflow and expand as your needs grow.
Because you design the process, your team sees the fields and steps that match how you actually sell and deliver — whether that’s will-call pickups, crane drops, staged shipments or yard transfers between locations.
- Product catalog & specsBuild a public or private catalog with categories, SKUs, specs, datasheets and submittals.

Contractor quote and order portal
Let contractors browse products, request quotes and accept orders tied to jobsites.
PromptBuild a contractor quote and order portal for my building materials business. Include contractor sign-in with company name, contact person, email and phone; a product catalog with categories, SKUs, descriptions, units (piece, pallet, bundle), price and availability by location; a quote request flow where contractors pick items and quantities, add a job name, jobsite address, delivery or pickup preference, need-by date and notes; a sales dashboard to review quote requests, adjust line pricing and margins, add a quote expiration date and set status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Lost); and a one-click action to convert an accepted quote into an order that appears in the delivery schedule with the jobsite details.
Inventory and purchasing manager
Track stock by yard, see low-stock alerts and create supplier POs.
PromptBuild an inventory and purchasing manager for a building materials supplier. Create products with SKU, name, category, unit of measure, package size, weight, supplier and default cost. Track stock by location (yard or warehouse) with on-hand, committed and reorder point. Add transactions for receipts, adjustments and transfers. Provide a low-stock report and a supplier list. Let me create purchase orders, add line items, due dates and notes, and when I mark a PO as received, update inventory at the chosen location.
Delivery scheduling & proof of delivery app
Plan routes by truck and driver, dispatch orders and capture proof of delivery.
PromptBuild a delivery scheduling and proof-of-delivery app. Include a dispatch board by date showing trucks and drivers with time windows. Allow me to add deliveries from existing orders, set a time window, jobsite address, contact name and phone, unloading notes (e.g., forklift or boom) and special instructions. Create a mobile-friendly driver page that shows assigned stops in order with start, arrive and complete buttons, photo upload for delivered materials, a recipient name and signature field and automatic timestamps. Show delivery status (Scheduled, En route, Delivered, Issue) on the dispatch board.
Product catalog website with specs & submittals
Showcase products with filters and downloadable datasheets, and capture quote requests.
PromptBuild a public product catalog website for my building materials company. Include category and brand filters, search and product pages with SKU, photos, specifications, dimensions, certifications and downloadable datasheets or submittals (file upload fields). Add prominent Request a Quote buttons that open a form capturing product, quantity, jobsite location, contact details and need-by date. Provide an admin area where I can add and update products, categories and documents.
Questions and answers
Common questions about Building Material Suppliers
Answers to the questions owners ask us most often.
Can I build a delivery schedule with driver proof-of-delivery?
Yes. Describe your trucks, time windows and driver steps. You can create a dispatch board and a driver page to capture photos, notes and signatures.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want and the app is built around your workflow. You can refine it in plain language as you go.
Can I set different price tiers for contractors and jobs?
Yes. Build customer records with price tiers and use them in your quote pages. Sales can adjust line pricing before converting to an order.
We track stock in spreadsheets — can I mirror that structure?
Yes. Create product and stock tables with the same columns you use now, then use the app as your single source of truth going forward.
