Online Orders are Now Easier With myABCsupply

By ABC Supply. 

Sunshine Roof Services utilizes a new order management tool to strengthen their team’s time management.  

Working in construction, there’s never a good time to come across an error or flaw in the project you’ve put hard work and valuable time into. That’s why it was a huge game changer for the team at Sunshine Roof Services when they discovered an app that allowed them to efficiently follow through their order management process while eliminating errors. The program, myABCsupply, was created by ABC Supply and has made stalled projects a thing of the past.  

Kathy Winkles, office manager at Sunshine Roof Services, began using myABCsupply in 2020 to order building materials online and has discovered many benefits to the tool. 

Pre-built templates make placing orders for materials faster and more accurate 

Before using myABCsupply, a Sunshine Roof Services team member would create an estimate and put together an order in a spreadsheet. They would then email or fax the order spreadsheet to ABC Supply. The process could take 30 minutes. 

Now, Kathy can directly place orders within myABCsupply using templates, which have brought many benefits: 

• No product knowledge needed: Since the templates can be created ahead of time using Sunshine Roof Services’ most frequently ordered products, Kathy doesn’t even need deep product knowledge to place an order. 
• More accurate orders: Kathy appreciates that myABCsupply offers opportunities to review details while placing an order. She is able to catch mistakes more easily and ensure that orders are placed accurately. 
• Easy to collaborate: Templates also come in handy when Kathy is out of the office — other team members can easily step in to help order materials in her place. 
• Faster order placement: It only takes Kathy five to ten minutes to place an order through myABCsupply, allowing her to work more efficiently. 

“Using myABCsupply makes my job easier,” she said. “I can personally take on and do more things now.” 

MyABCsupply provides more visibility into orders and deliveries 

MyABCsupply has also improved communication among Sunshine Roof Service’s office, jobsites and the local ABC Supply branch.  

With myABCsupply, the team can see delivery photos and cross-check that the materials they need are the ones that were delivered. If there is an issue, Kathy can view the order history to confirm whether the correct materials had been ordered.  

Before myABCsupply, when an issue with their orders arose, someone on the jobsite would call Kathy, who then had to review past spreadsheets and contact the branch to determine where an error occurred. The process was much more time-consuming when they didn’t have as much visibility into their deliveries. 

“Now that we’re using myABCsupply, I get fewer calls with questions from the field,” Kathy said. “I also don’t have to call our ABC Supply branch with questions as often.” 

MyABCsupply has made managing orders and deliveries a breeze for Kathy and Sunshine Roof Services, but they aren’t the only team finding benefits by using myABCsupply to order building materials online. Find out how myABCsupply has saved Gold Stars Roof time and money.
