Drywall and insulation are delivered to a schedule: when the envelope is tight, the boom truck has to be there. BuildMapper shows your reps which builds are weeks from lock-up, who is building them, and who to call.
A permit tells you a project exists. It doesn't tell you the part that decides the deal: when the buying happens. Every build has a different right moment for what you sell, and BuildMapper flags each one when it's your time to call, not when the permit was filed.
Lock-up · Weeks 8 to 14 after the permit. Insulation goes in the day the envelope is tight and the board follows the inspection. The order is placed weeks earlier, once the framer gives a date. BuildMapper flags your rep while that date is being set.
These are the three problems BuildMapper was built to solve.
The drywall sub buys wherever they have terms. Your rep never hears about the build until the boom truck on site was someone else's.
A 40-unit project is hundreds of sheets a floor. On a city portal it's one line that looks like a garage.
Quotes live in trucks and sent folders. When a rep leaves, the builders they were working leave with them.
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 the build is worth, what stage it's at, and who's behind it. Scored for drywall & insulation supply, so the builds that need you sit on top.
Upload your customer list, and BuildMapper checks it against every permit pulled in your area. Back comes the list of builders building right now who aren't on your list, ranked by how well they fit drywall & insulation supply, with your share in dollars on each.
“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 built from your own list and your own product lines, never from a market average.
This is everything BuildMapper asks of a rep: read a text, tap send, reply when something happens. Same morning, every rep on the team.
Overnight, Scout read every new permit in your area and picked out the builds that will need drywall & insulation supply, before your competitors notice.
Not a list to wade through: one builder to call, what it's worth to you, why it fits this rep, and the contact. Your newest hire gets the same quality of lead as your best rep.
Stops come back as a route, not a scatter of pins. Four worthwhile sites, in order, instead of a morning of driving past lots where nothing is happening.
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.
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.
One login, one customer record. Reps get the map, their pipeline and Scout. Managers get the team view on top. Here is what each one does for what you sell.
Stage is estimated from the permit date and the project's size, so a six-storey wood-frame at day 90 still reads as framing, not stale. A rep sees which builds are about to close in, how many units, and who to call.
See Permit MapAdd the contractors and builders you supply. When one pulls a permit anywhere you deliver, their rep hears first, with the history attached.
See ConnectionsUpload your customer list. Back comes every builder active in your area who isn't on it, ranked by fit, with the drywall and insulation share of each build in dollars. Jobs you weren't on, never "lost".
See Territory IntelligenceScout texts each rep the build heading to lock-up, why it fits, who to call, and a drafted intro. The rep sends it from their own phone.
See Scout on your phoneEach week's permits arrive grouped by the rep who should work them, with the reason shown: the rep who already sells to that boarder or builder first, then the rep who covers the area. You approve the week in one click.
See Team Flow"Quoted 40 units, 96k" becomes a stage and a value. You see every open board quote by rep without chasing anyone.
See Sales Pipeline"What do we stock for a one-hour corridor wall, and what's our cost on five-eighths Type X, 4 by 12?" Answered from your own price list and the manufacturer assembly sheets you loaded.
See Product BrainUpload the drawings. Quotes reads wall areas and drafts sheet counts by floor, so your estimator checks a list instead of building one.
See QuotesEvery rep's deals in one place: stages, dollar values, next steps, kept current by the texts they already send. You get the team view. Your reps never open a CRM.
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.
Send leads to Salesforce, use the API and webhooks, or take a weekly report. ERP Connect reads your accounts and order history, read-only, so Scout knows your customers. It never writes to your ERP.
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.
Supply yards, appliance and material dealers across BC run BuildMapper as the first call of their morning.
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.
