How Ejide is Building MaterialsPro: An on-demand B2B eCommerce platform for bulk building materials, providing timely and scheduled deliveries at great prices.

We are helping home builders and contractors remove the challenges of seeking frequent project cost variations with clients, helping them plan and seamlessly manage the procurement of building materials to project sites, on time and as scheduled, and we are helping them reduce overall project costs. All the while giving them peace of mind so they can focus on their core specialization, the actual building itself.

With a background helping B2B clients manage end to end procurement it came as a culture shock to learn first hand, albeit the hard way, the extent home builders in the construction industry are plagued by challenges of materials sourcing, of logistics management, of price negotiation, etc. All these many issues take its toll on their business and time that should ordinarily be channeled to the core of their work which is to build durable, functional, and beautiful edifices. Much earlier on, I embarked on a personal building project. But even after employing the services of a professional builder, this phase of the project was marred by huge setbacks, resulting particularly in upward budget review, and missed project deadline. I saw this up-close and repeatedly for many other professional home builders, and people I believed should have a better work around. It was at this point that it dawned on me there is a need to provide solutions here. It literally was an ah ah moment given what I know is possible... And that became the basis for MaterialsPro.
