Stop Losing Money on Wasted Supply Runs.

A wrong part, an unexpected pack price or a wasted drive can eat into the job. Build your material list, compare prices your suppliers give you, and call the branch before you turn the key.

Private iOS beta for US trades · Request access below. You add supplier prices; the app does not check them with the branch. Confirm stock before travelling.

Our No-BS Data Guarantee

If a price is missing or expired, we tell you to check it with the branch. Prices you add are labelled as yours. We never fill a gap with an invented price or stock claim.

How it helps on a real supply run

Built to Protect Your Profit Margin

Keep the parts, supplier replies and branch details in one place. Check the purchase before committing to the trip.

Get the right parts on the list

Search for a material or type its description. Review the size, specification, quantity and unit so the branch knows what you need.

A clear list makes it easier to spot a wrong fitting or a missing item.

Compare the whole purchase price

Add prices from supplier calls or documents. Compare the same material list with whole packs and known pickup fees included, with tax treatment visible.

Missing prices or fees stay unknown. Travel costs are shown separately.

Call before you commit to the drive

Open the branch number from your material list. Ask about the exact parts, available quantity and pickup price before leaving the job site.

A nearby branch is a place to check. It is not proof of stock.

Open directions from the same list

Send a known branch location to Apple Maps or a supported map app. Keep the supplier you checked and the destination you open together.

In-app distance, fuel and time figures are planning estimates.

Why get it?

The cheapest unit price may not be the cheapest purchase.

A pack size or pickup fee can change what you pay. Material Scanner keeps those details beside the list instead of leaving you to piece them together across calls, notes and map apps.

Example — whole-pack maths

You need 12 pieces. The supplier sells packs of 10 at $18 a pack.

Packs you must buy

2 packs

Materials price

$36

That is 20 pieces, with 8 left over. It is not a $21.60 purchase. The app counts full packs when you enter the supplier’s pack size and pack price.

For demonstration only. This is not a supplier offer; tax, pickup fees and travel are excluded from this example.

What’s available in the private beta

Try it with a real list and prices you are allowed to use. Tell us whether it helps you make the next supply run.

Use it today

  • Build and reuse a material list. Choose or type materials, confirm quantities and units, and save the list for another run.
  • Add and compare supplier prices. Enter your quotes or import a matching price CSV. Whole packs, known fees, price dates and tax treatment stay visible.
  • Check the branch, then open Maps. Call when a number is available and open directions when a branch location is known. Confirm stock with the branch.

Your saved prices are private to your account. The app has not checked them with the supplier. The catalogue and branch directory have limited coverage; check the details before using them.

Planned — not available yet

  • Automatic live prices and stock. Supplier feeds need approved access and real product, branch and freshness checks before they can be offered.
  • Camera barcode and material-tag scanning. The current beta starts with manual search and list entry.

The app’s mileage and travel times are estimates. It does not predict road traffic or promise that a branch can fulfil your list.
