Automatic normalization across all suppliers
Lumber procurement still runs on email. Supplier quotes arrive as PDFs and plain-text messages. Buyers copy data into spreadsheets, manually verify market prices, and write follow-ups one at a time. It works — but it doesn't scale, and it leaves margin on the table.
LumberFlow's AI agent takes over the four most time-consuming steps in lumber procurement — so your buyers spend their day on decisions, not data entry.
LumberFlow connects to your Gmail inbox. When a supplier sends a price sheet, PDF, or plain-text quote, the AI reads it and extracts species, grade, dimensions, and $/MBF pricing automatically — no copy-paste required.
Create supplier-ready RFQs from your sourcing requests in under 5 minutes. The AI drafts messages with the right specs, follows your templates, and sends them from your shared RFQ inbox with full tracking.
Suppliers quote in different units, pack sizes, and freight terms. LumberFlow normalizes every quote to $/MBF so you can compare apples-to-apples across all your suppliers in one workspace.
See which suppliers respond fastest, which consistently beat your target price, and which ones miss deadlines. Over time, the AI builds a performance profile for every supplier in your network.
