On-Demand Material Supplier Search
When a new project arrives, sourcing materials locally takes hours. Notis instantly searches for material suppliers in your area matching your project needs - lumber, concrete, HVAC parts, electrical materials - and returns contact info, pricing, and availability so you can source and quote faster.

Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know my area?
Tell Notis your service areas once (or let it pull from your CompanyCam project locations) and it searches locally. You can also specify area for each search.
What pricing information does Notis find?
List prices, bulk pricing, delivery costs, lead times, and any active promotions. Notis compares across suppliers so you see best value.
Can I get regular price updates?
Yes - set Notis to re-scan suppliers weekly or monthly for specific material categories. It alerts you to price changes and new options.
