Procurement for construction

Control job-site tail spend without slowing the crew

Rentals, consumables, safety gear and last-minute materials get bought on the fly at every job site. Tail Sourcing ties each purchase to a project and cost code, so small buys stop eroding project margin.

Before vs after Tail Sourcing

Before vs after Tail Sourcing

The pain today

Without Tail Sourcing

  • Field crews buy consumables and rentals on personal cards with no project coding
  • Emergency material runs at retail prices eat into project margin
  • Subcontractor and supplier insurance certificates tracked in spreadsheets
  • Job-cost reports arrive weeks after the money is already spent
The outcome

With Tail Sourcing

  • Every purchase coded to a project and cost code at the moment of request
  • Pre-approved suppliers and price lists for recurring job-site consumables
  • Quick quotes from local suppliers when a site needs something today
  • Budget-versus-actual by project, visible before the invoice arrives

FAQ for construction teams

Can we track spend by project and cost code?+

Yes. Every request carries a project and cost code, and an Admin or Procurement Manager provides one human approval before the purchase order.

Does it work for crews in the field?+

Requests can be made from a phone. An Admin or Procurement Manager provides the one human approval before the purchase order.

Do you integrate with our accounting system?+

QuickBooks Online is included on every plan, including Essentials, and you connect it yourself in Settings → Accounting. NetSuite is coming soon.
