About BuyMetrics Inc.
 
   
 
Founded by a third-generation lumber dealer, BuyMetrics Inc., formerly ProBuild Systems Inc., provides information management software exclusively for the building products industry.

Our mission is simple: We automate routine tasks in buying and selling, and thereby free your time to cultivate and maintain all-important personal relationships with your vendors and customers.

We offer two applications:

bullet BuyMetrics®, available in Enterprise and Dealer versions, is patented personal productivity software for commodity lumber and panel buyers. It helps them communicate more efficiently with their chosen suppliers, respond quickly to market turns, and fine-tune their purchasing strategies based on hard data rather than memory.   Online demonstration available.

bulletProLink® enables building material dealers to service their professional builders online with access to current pricing and powerful online tools: quick price look-ups, re-price model homes with a mouse-click, download price files to builder CAD or accounting software for design-on-fly pricing and more accurate bids.

Technology. BuyMetrics and ProLink are Internet-based. That enables us to handle all maintenance so our clients have no hardware to buy and no software to install or update. Both applications are branded with your company identity, customized to your specifications, and linked seamlessly to your existing Web site.

Most important, both BuyMetrics and ProLink are fast, secure, and easy to use. Our technology is so advanced that, in 1999, we were honored by Information Week as one of the top 100 e-business innovators in the world along with companies such as IBM, Dell Computer, and Cisco Systems.

Pricing. Our roots are in building materials; we understand the low-margin nature of this business. Both BuyMetrics and ProLink are offered for a one-time implementation charge plus an affordable flat monthly subscription, with no transaction fees.
