How it works

You set it up once.
Your reps just answer texts.

Steps 1 and 2 are yours, and they take an afternoon. Step 3 is your reps’ entire job in BuildMapper — reading a text. Step 4 happens on its own.

01

Connect what you already have

Your customer list and your area. BuildMapper brings the permits — every new one in BC, Alberta and Ottawa, usually within a day of filing.

02

See your whole territory

Every active job site on a map, scored for what you sell — plus the builders who are building right now without you.

03

Reps get their leads by text

Every morning, each rep gets the best builder to call, why it’s a fit, and a drafted intro. No app, no login, nothing to learn.

04

The pipeline keeps itself

“Quoted it.” “Won it.” A rep’s reply updates the board. You see every deal without chasing anyone on a Friday afternoon.

The problem

Three things every supply-house sales manager says.

These are the three problems BuildMapper was built to solve.

My reps don’t have time to prospect.

When they’re busy selling, prospecting stops. Six weeks later the pipeline is empty and everyone scrambles. You can see the cycle coming and still not break it — the only fix is hours your reps don’t have.

The fix
Scout prospects overnight and hands each rep one ready-to-work lead every morning.

My reps won’t touch the CRM.

So you manage blind — chasing updates in the truck, in the hallway, on Friday afternoon. Every forecast you give your own boss is built on whatever people remember.

The fix
Reps update the pipeline by replying to a text. Four words, logged.

I can’t tell you where we’re losing.

You know your top accounts. You don’t know which builders in your area have never bought from you, or what that’s worth. Nobody can tell you, so the number stays a feeling.

The fix
BuildMapper checks your customer list against every permit in your area and shows you the gap, in dollars.
The map · what your reps start from

Every active job site. Scored for what you sell.

BuildMapper reads every permit in your area and turns it into a map a rep can plan a day around: what’s being built, what it’s worth, what stage it’s at, and who’s behind it. No more driving past empty lots hoping something’s happening.

HotStrong product match, fresh permit, right stage. Call today.
WarmGood fit, worth tracking — the window hasn’t opened yet.
ProspectIn your area and real, but the timing is loose.
WatchBelow your bar. BuildMapper keeps an eye on it so nobody has to.
Bring your own feed
Already pay for permit data? Import it — BuildMapper runs both, for better coverage than either alone.
It learns each rep
Every deal a rep closes teaches it what they win — builder type, job size, distance — so the leads keep getting better.

Follow your best builders

Add your top accounts and the builders you want to win. The moment one of them pulls a permit — anywhere we cover — the rep who owns them knows first, with the builder’s full history attached. Your best customer should never break ground without you hearing about it.

Whatever your area looks like, it’s covered

Permits land in BuildMapper within a day of filing, straight from each city’s own records — 80,000+ tracked across BC, Alberta and Ottawa, with US cities on the way. Last twelve months, around Greater Vancouver:

Territory Intelligence · built for the manager

Find the builders you’re missing.

Upload your customer list, and BuildMapper checks it against every permit pulled in your area. Back comes the list of builders who are building right now with no relationship to you — ranked by how well they fit what you sell, with a dollar figure on each.

A real run · a Lower Mainland supply team · about three minutes

“You named 420 builders. There are 371 actively building in your area right now. Here are the 353 you didn’t name, ranked by opportunity.”

That team had sold to 420 builders over the years — and still didn’t know most of the ones active around them today. Your numbers will be different, because everything is computed from your own list and your own product lines, never from a market average.

Scout · included with every Pro seat

A day with Scout on your team.

This is everything BuildMapper asks of a rep: read a text, tap send, reply when something happens. Same morning, every rep on the team.

7:30 AMThe prospecting is done

Overnight, Scout read every new permit in your area and picked out the projects that will need your product — before your competitors are paying attention.

7:31 AMEvery rep gets a text

Not a list to wade through — one builder to call, what the job is worth, why it fits this rep, and the contact. Your newest hire gets the same quality of lead as your best rep.

7:45 AMThe day plans itself

Stops come back as a route, not a scatter of pins. Four worthwhile sites, 38 km, in order — instead of a morning of driving past lots where nothing is happening.

7:50 AMThe intro is drafted

Scout writes the opener in your rep’s voice, mentioning the permit. The rep reads it, changes a word, and sends it from their own phone. Every message a customer sees comes from your rep — never from a bot.

4:45 PMA reply closes the loop

Rep texts back “won it.” Scout logs it, updates the pipeline, and learns what this rep wins so tomorrow’s lead is better. Nobody typed into a CRM today.

Most teams start it with two reps and see the difference within two weeks.

There’s nothing for your reps to learn and nothing for you to roll out — if a rep can answer a text, the whole team is up and running today.

Timing

A raw permit is homework. A lead has a deadline.

A permit tells you a project exists. It doesn’t tell you the part that decides the deal: when the buying happens. Every project has a different right moment depending on what you sell — and BuildMapper flags each one when your window opens, not when the permit was filed.

Week 0–2
Permit issued
Excavation, concrete, site services
Week 4–9
Framing
Lumber, trusses, structural
Week 10–14
Envelope
Roofing, windows, siding, insulation
Week 15+
Finishing
Flooring, paint, appliances, fixtures

Suppliers get flagged about two weeks before each stage. Materials are chosen and ordered before the trade shows up on site — so your rep gets there while the order is still being decided, not after the truck has been booked.

Your team

Three problems you can’t fix by hiring.

None of these is a motivation problem, and none of them goes away with one more rep.

01
The new hire

A new rep spends two quarters learning the area you already know.

They don’t know which builders are active or who’s worth a call, so you ride along, or you wait. With BuildMapper they get the territory on day one — every active site, the builder behind it, and the same morning lead your best rep gets.

02
The departure

When a rep leaves, the pipeline usually leaves with them.

It lived in their head, their phone and their sent folder. Here, every lead, stage, dollar value and next step is written to your company’s record as the rep works — so their replacement opens a board that’s already current.

03
The uneven team

Two reps prospect. The rest mean to.

Your top performer has a routine nobody else can copy, because it isn’t a skill — it’s hours. Scout gives the whole team the same 7:30 AM start: one good lead, the right contact, a draft ready to send. You stop managing effort and start managing results.

Ask your reps how much of last week was actually selling. The rest went to finding out what’s being built, deciding who to call, and writing down what happened — three jobs BuildMapper now does for them.

Built for the ground, not the dashboard

Somewhere nearby, a builder is
choosing a supplier right now.

BuildMapper makes sure your rep is the first call, not the last quote.

Pipeline & reporting · built for the manager

You see everything. Your reps type nothing.

Every rep’s deals on one board — stages, dollar values, next steps — kept current by the texts they already send. You get the team view. Your reps never open a CRM.

A text from a rep becomes…
StageNew → contacted → quoted → won or lost, moved by the words the rep used.
Value“48k” in a text becomes a number on the board.
Next step“Follow up Friday” becomes a dated reminder — for the rep, not for you.
OwnerWho each lead belongs to, so two reps never chase the same builder.

And it stays current when a rep is slammed, when a rep is on vacation, and on the day a rep quits — the record belongs to your company, not to someone’s phone.

What you watch while the week runs
The live board
Every rep’s deals and dollar values, current — because updating it costs a rep four words in a text.
A weekly summary
What moved, what stalled, and what’s sitting untouched — broken out per rep.
A forecast you can stand behind
Quoted values with dates on them, instead of whatever people remembered in the hallway.

New leads arrive already sorted by rep

Each week’s new permits show up grouped by the rep who should work them — the one who owns the account first, then whose area it is, then who’s worked that builder before. Every suggestion shows its reason, and you assign a rep’s whole week in one click. Nothing goes out without you.

And it ends up where you already work

Push leads into Salesforce, wire your own systems up with the API and webhooks, or just take a weekly report you can forward to your owner. ERP Connect reads your Prophet 21 accounts and order history so Scout knows your customers — it never writes to your ERP.

Product Brain

Your whole price list, answerable from a driveway.

Load your price lists and spec sheets once. Then any rep can ask a product question in plain English — in the app, or by text from a job site — and get a real number, with the file it came from. It only ever answers from your own documents.

The math

Do the math on your whole team.

Scout adds 20–30% more selling capacity to every rep — not by making anyone work harder, but by deleting the hours between “a project exists” and “my rep is talking to the builder.” Use the conservative 25% and your own numbers.

Fill this in for your team
What the extra capacity is worth
Extra outreach, per rep, per month+10
Extra won jobs, per rep, per month2.0
Per rep, per month$28,000
Across 7 reps, per year
$2.35M
$196,000 a month of additional won work, at your own job value and close rate.
That team costs $249 + $99 × 6 = $843 a month — $10,116 a year, or 0.72 of one average job. So the question isn’t whether Scout adds a job per rep. It’s whether it adds one job across the whole team, all year.
Illustration only, from your own figures · the worked default is a mid-sized building-supply rep at a $14,000 average job and a 20% close rate on 40 touches a month
Good questions

What sales managers ask us first.

We already get permit data.

Then you’re ahead. A data feed still leaves the hard part to your reps: which projects matter, when to move, who to contact, what to say. BuildMapper does that part — and you can import the feed you already pay for, which gives you better coverage than either source alone.

My reps won’t adopt another tool.

There’s nothing to adopt. No new app, no login, no new habit. If a rep can reply to a text, they’re fully trained. The reps who resist software hardest tend to like Scout most, because it asks nothing of them — and if one wants it off, we turn it off.

I don’t want an AI talking to my customers.

It never does. Scout works behind your rep — it finds the lead, does the research, drafts the message and sets the reminder. Your rep reviews and sends every customer touch from their own phone or inbox. Your company’s voice stays human; it just shows up earlier and more often.

What happens to our data?

Your customer list is used for one thing: matching builders in your area to your accounts. It’s never shared with anyone, your reps’ contacts stay theirs, and if you ever leave, your data goes with you.
