We know the ins and outs of supplying garden and building materials
Like the trades you supply – builders and landscapers – weather plays a big part in your business. High demand for projects in spring means lots of sales. Wet weather can dry up orders. Consistency can be a challenge, while scheduling needs to be accurate and agile. We get it. There are loads of moving parts that all need to work to make the bank account grow.
We know what drives success
It’s a highly competitive market: the big name chains like Bunnings and Mitre 10 can offer lower prices. Customers (builders, landscapers, pool builders, gardeners) can often buy supplies even cheaper if they plan ahead and source directly from large quarries, steel, cement or equipment suppliers. Smaller businesses lack the leverage to compete against these suppliers and chains on a like-for-like basis. Instead, good G&BS businesses differentiate by offering a responsive service that suits time-poor trades. Best in breed yards get repeat clients because they trade on convenience.
We know the effort involved
The success of a supplies business relies on running an efficient yard. It takes skill to manage stock levels while also making good margins on sales. Investing in a capable and reliable team to deliver the work is crucial to your effort paying off.
