Purchase Order Software for Commercial Metal Framing

Accelerate Commercial Metal Framing Innovation with Streamlined Purchasing

Eliminate manual purchase order chaos and gain complete visibility into your steel, aluminum, and fastener procurement across all jobsites.

Commercial metal framing companies can't afford purchasing delays...

Commercial metal framing companies face critical delays due to fragmented purchasing, manual approval processes, and poor delivery coordination. Without centralized visibility, materials are ordered across multiple job sites, leading to overspending and budget surprises. Project managers, tied up with on-site tasks, struggle to approve orders promptly, causing procurement bottlenecks. Additionally, uncoordinated deliveries of essential components like specialty fasteners disrupt installation schedules and create operational inefficiencies.

Key Challenges for Metal Framing Companies:
1

No visibility into steel purchases – Spending across multiple jobsites creates budget surprises
2

Manual approval delays – Project managers stuck coordinating frame installations can’t approve orders
3

Impossible to track deliveries – Specialty fasteners and connectors arrive without proper coordination

What Our Customers Say

“We were experiencing late payments and potential missed invoices that didn’t get processed in the stack of papers. When board members wanted to review certain expenses, we had to physically scan documents. It just wasn’t a truly transparent process,”

Chaz Patterson-Ellis
CFO at Chattahoochee Hills Charter School

“Anybody within the company could order goods or services, and approval would only happen after the invoice arrived. We needed to put controls in place, and ProcureDesk became one of those must-have solutions.”

Cameron Williams
Accounting Manager Metabolon

“There was a general lack of clarity and transparency around our budgets. Because we wouldn’t get invoiced right away, we would pull budget reports in Quickbooks, but they were never fully accurate or up-to-date because of those pending orders.”

Monica Merchant
Director of operations
