HOVER entered a partnership with ABC Supply, a wholesale distributor of roofing, siding, and other select exterior and interior building products. Through the partnership, contractors will be able to place orders with ABC Supply from within the HOVER platform with direct ordering.
“We’re thrilled to parter with HOVER to give contractors a digital option for ordering roofing materials,” Mike Jost, ABC Supply COO, said in a news release. “Our customers often rely on us to determine the quantity of supplies needed for a project, and having HOVER’s precise measurements automatically connected to the order means we deliver what is needed more efficiently.”
Using measurements created with HOVER’s 3D model, direct ordering calculates material quantities, instantly prepares material lists for roofing products, and places the order with ABC Supply, according to the company. HOVER said the automated process takes into account a contractor’s pricing and installation preferences and offers a single, connected digital experience, removing the need for manual entry or separate ordering.
“ABC Supply gives contractors access to quality products and services, and we’re looking forward to bringing HOVER to their wide network of contractors,” A.J. Altman, founder and CEO of HOVER, said. “The new partnership will drive better, more efficient workflows from sales through production, allowing businesses to scale by digitizing the material ordering process.”
Supply chain related delays, increasing demand for roofing renovation and repair, and the ever-present need for cost-savings efficiencies have put pressure on exterior contractors in recent years, according to HOVER. The ability to calculate and order exact quantities with trusted suppliers through the HOVER direct ordering tool helps save time and money and allows greater earning potential through the number of jobs a contractor can do, according to the company.
HOVER’s mobile app measures, designs, and estimates costs in one place, transforming smartphone photos in rendered, fully-measured 3D models of any home.
