Ply

Ply is a materials and procurement platform designed for trade companies such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing contractors. It addresses the challenge of managing materials and money across disconnected systems by combining inventory tracking, purchasing, and supplier payments into a single platform. The solution helps teams know what stock is available across warehouses, trucks, and job sites, while streamlining the process of ordering materials and paying supplier invoices.

The platform is organized around three core areas: tracking, buying, and paying. Its features include real-time inventory tracking with barcode and NFC scanning, purchase order creation via AI voice or chat, and automated three-way matching of purchase orders, invoices, and delivery receipts. It also offers supplier catalog integrations with live pricing, RFQ management with mixed bidding, and automated replenishment alerts. Ply integrates with field service management platforms like ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro, accounting software such as QuickBooks, and supplier systems including Ferguson and Johnstone Supply.

Ply is built for trade contractors of various sizes, from small teams to multi-location operations. It offers a free trial and three plan tiers: Starter, Plus, and Enterprise. Pricing is based on the number of stock locations, which includes both trucks and warehouses. All plans include unlimited users. The Starter plan covers basic tracking and procurement, while the Plus plan adds advanced procurement and payment features. Enterprise offers custom terms for franchises and larger operations.
