For Lumber Yards
Sometimes the hardest part is getting to a request the yard can actually answer. LMBR organizes the request first so you can review it, respond faster, and move on.
If you've ever spent 10 emails trying to figure out what the customer actually needed and whether it was available, this is for you.
The inventory check is often the easy part. Most of the time gets lost figuring out what the buyer is actually asking for and getting an answer back before someone else does.
When a buyer needs more than your yard can supply, the entire order can go elsewhere — including the part you could have filled.
The right buyers are already out there. The challenge is being part of the conversation before calls start being made.
Requests arrive structured and answerable. No vague asks or callback chains.
Especially when the buyer needs an answer today. Clear request in, clear answer out.
We route selectively so yards receive requests worth answering, not constant noise.
Share a private order link with your customers. Orders stay with your yard, and LMBR only helps cover the gaps.
Founder's Note
I'm speaking with lumber yards across NYC and New Jersey to understand how inventory is actually tracked, communicated, and confirmed day to day.
One pattern keeps repeating itself: buyers often send incomplete requests, and reps spend multiple emails or calls just figuring out what the buyer actually needs before they can even check the yard.
A lot of the friction isn't inventory itself. It's the back-and-forth required to turn rough asks into something answerable.
LMBR is being built to reduce that coordination burden without changing how yards already operate.
If this resonates, I'd value hearing how your yard handles it today.
We'll start with a conversation about how you currently track and confirm inventory, then go from there.
Currently onboarding a small number of yards in NYC and New Jersey.
