How Going Digital Saves Construction Contractors Time and Money

Learn How Contractors Embrace Digital Tools

Nothing is more valuable than having a supplier who knows you and your business. But what about when you want to manage your account or place an order and your contact isn’t available? That’s why leading suppliers, including L&W Supply, have transitioned from cumbersome paper-based, manual processes to more efficient digital platforms. This shift has enhanced operational efficiency, reduced errors, and improved the user experience. Contractors are discovering how embracing technology can improve communication, minimize delays, and save both time and money.

Today, top construction suppliers are focused on sharing their advanced technology with contractors to help you streamline operations and reduce costs. By offering digital tools that are user-friendly and accessible 24/7, you can access real-time data and better manage your projects.

4 Ways Free Digital Tools Can Improve Your Bottom Line

1. Save Time by Working on Your Schedule With mobile-friendly platforms like myLWsupply, you can manage your account, place orders, and communicate with your branch from anywhere, at any time. Whether on the job site or on the move, the ability to conduct business through a smartphone, tablet, or desktop helps maintain project momentum without being tied to an office or waiting for your supplier to open.
2. Improve Efficiency by Streamlining Orders Supplier apps that allow you to browse, select, and purchase materials on any device make it easy to get what you want when you need it. With the click of a button, you can place and track orders. Some tools like myLWsupply include an intuitive interface that makes it easy to find and reorder favorite products or discover new materials that fit your project’s requirements, minimizing downtime and keeping your job on track.
3. Reduce Project Delays by Monitoring Orders in Real Time With tools like Express Pickup available at L&W Supply branch locations, you can skip the line and save time by calling, texting, or emailing your order for same-day pickup. You can also monitor orders from placement to delivery, all in real time. You’ll even receive a text/email notification when your order is ready for pickup, and a branch associate will help load your vehicle so you can get back to the job site and avoid costly delays.
4. Boost Your Productivity with Direct Branch Communication and Support Going digital will strengthen communication between you and your branch. You can place orders, request quotes, or text your favorite branch and get answers quickly from people who know your business. This direct line of support saves time and resolves issues promptly, reducing the risk of project delays.
