AI Operations Workspace for Lumber and Building Materials Dealers
Lumber and Building Materials Software for Orders and Supplier Invoices
UpBrains AI is lumber and building materials software for LBM dealers: a builder’s takeoff becomes a quote and a job pack order, line by line.
AI reads. Your business logic decides. Your team approves.
For LBM dealers, lumberyards and the contractor sales desks behind them.
What You Get
AI Order Desk
Takeoffs and material lists become drafted quotes, then job pack orders in your ERP.
AI Procurement Desk
Mill, supplier and freight invoices checked against what the yard received.
An LBM dealer works from a builder’s takeoff: lumber, drywall, roofing, siding and insulation, gathered into job packs for one address.
UpBrains AI reads the material list, matches each line and its unit to your items, and drafts the quote for a rep to send.
Accepted quotes become orders without rekeying, and yard receipts back each supplier invoice before it is paid.

A job pack is priced from a takeoff in the unit each product sells in, and the builder’s material list changes as the job moves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a takeoff become a quote?
A builder’s takeoff or material list is read from the email and every attachment, and each line of lumber, drywall, roofing, siding and insulation is matched to your items. A rep reviews the drafted quote before it goes out on the same thread.
Can a job pack change after the quote?
Yes. The quote, the purchase order and each change request stay linked in one record for the job. A rep sees what the builder changed and approves the revised lines.
How are board, bundle and square units handled?
Each line carries its unit of measure, whether lumber sells by the piece, shingles by the bundle or roofing by the square. A line whose unit disagrees with your item stops for a person.
Can it match supplier invoices to what the yard received?
Yes. Supplier and freight invoices are compared with the purchase order and the goods receipt at the yard. A short delivery shows up as a quantity difference, and the approver sees it before payment.
