When I was notified we’d been selected by Construction Tech Review as the Cloud-Based Lumber Purchasing Platform of the Year 2026, I was very surprised, and I hadn’t even known we were nominated. But, as I thought about this news, I realized how grateful I am for the trust and loyalty of our clients.

Since day one, BuyMetrics set out to innovatively apply technology to empower the buyers of lumber and other volatile commodities. We’ve grown our company almost exclusively by personal referral – which this honor reflects. As the article in Construction Tech Review quotes me saying, “The idea was never to automate for the sake of automation. It was about providing buyers with the right data at the right time, giving them the speed and market intelligence they needed to consistently make the right buy.”

BuyMetrics leads the industry in the online sourcing of commodity wood products, automated price discovery, and bid/quote evaluation. For more than 25 years, buyers at pro dealers and component manufacturers (large and small) have relied on BuyMetrics to protect/enhance volatile commodity margins (drive ROI) while streamlining purchase processes. BuyMetrics is buying the way YOU want it to be – empowered – on your terms, in your control, using innovative technology that works for YOU. We measure our performance by YOUR success.

From 2000 to today, we have continuously improved our cutting-edge technology. For decades, experienced lumber/panels buyers have pounded-on and honed our software, making it more agile and robust for all users. The result: unparalleled commodity lumber procurement. With BuyMetrics, you have the efficiency of online commerce and the effectiveness of decision-shaping information. Automated workflows save time. Data-informed buying saves dollars. Data-informed pricing optimizes margin. Data-driven intelligence/insight helps you stay ahead of the competition – whatever the market brings.

At BuyMetrics, we understand every business has its own competitive environment, its own products/production mix, its own cost-of-goods. Since 2000, our proprietary Commodity Procurement Platform has automated and informed the purchase of lumber and other construction-related commodities for large and small manufacturers/re-manufacturers, distributors, and vertically-integrated big builders. So, when you’re looking for improved market visibility and greater control over your commodity procurement process, visit our website www.buymetrics.com, or reach out to us directly by phone 888-485-8623 or email info@buymetrics.com.
