Compare supplier quotes on building materials in minutes, not days.
Prolo sends your material list to your UK suppliers, gathers their prices in one place, and coordinates delivery, so your site keeps moving instead of waiting on the phone.
Common procurement problems
You need prices from six suppliers before you can move. Two don't answer, one emails back a week later. Your programme slips.
Prices arrive in different formats on different days. You build a comparison manually, then a supplier revises their quote and the whole sheet is out of date.
You order materials, but the supplier's next slot is two weeks out. Nobody told you. Now you're paying groundworkers to wait.
From material list to confirmed order in three steps
No new software to learn for your suppliers. No complex integrations. Just faster procurement.
Upload your material list
Paste a schedule of materials or upload a CSV from your quantity surveyor. Prolo parses specifications including grade, size, and quantity.
We contact your suppliers
Prolo sends a structured quote request to the suppliers you work with. They respond via email or our portal. No onboarding required on their side.
Compare and confirm delivery
All prices appear in a single comparison view, with lead times and stock status. Select the best option and confirm the delivery date that fits your programme.
From job sheet to live quotes in under two minutes
This is what procurement looks like when it runs in the background.
Less time on the phone. More time running the job.
Prolo contacts your preferred suppliers simultaneously and collects responses as they come in. Your comparison view updates in real time.
See unit price, total cost, lead time, and stock availability from every supplier in one table. No more piecing together emails or PDFs.
Confirm delivery windows that fit your site schedule when you place the order. No separate phone call to arrange logistics after the fact.
Every quote, comparison, and purchase order is stored against the relevant project. Useful when the client questions a cost or your accountant asks for records.
You tell Prolo which merchants you already deal with. We contact them. Your supplier relationships stay yours - we just make the process faster.
Your supplier contacts and pricing data are stored securely and never shared with third parties. Site data stays your commercial information.
What contractors said during our Q4 2025 pilot
We were spending the best part of a morning every week just getting prices together for the following week's materials. Prolo cut that down to about 20 minutes. The comparison table is simple enough that I can hand it to my site manager and he knows what he's looking at.
The delivery coordination was the thing I didn't expect to value. I've had too many jobs where materials turned up three days after I needed them. Being able to see the lead time before I commit to an order changes how I plan the week.
My suppliers haven't had to change anything they do. That was the thing I was worried about - some of my merchants have been supplying us for years and I didn't want to complicate that. They just get an email like any other enquiry.
