Purchasing for construction trades
Every order from the job site to the supplier, priced right the first time.
Pomevo takes a requisition from the field all the way to a paid invoice — with your own suppliers' price files, the right tax for each project, and nothing retyped along the way.

Built around how trade contractors actually buy
Material pricing in construction is messy: list prices, supplier discounts, per-100 units, sticks and feet, a different tax on every job. Pomevo handles it so your buyers don't have to.
Supplier price files that do the math
Import each supplier's list prices and discounts. Pomevo works out net cost, per-100 and per-1000 pricing, and pieces versus feet — then flags the best price across suppliers.
Requisitions to POs in one step
Foremen and project managers request material from the job. Purchasing reviews, picks suppliers and turns the request into purchase orders without retyping a line.
RFQs your suppliers can answer
Send one request for quote to several suppliers, enter or import their prices, compare them side by side and award the lines — the award becomes the PO.
Receiving and back orders
Record what actually arrived, with the packing slip. Short shipments stay open as back orders until the rest shows up.
Invoice matching
Accounts payable matches each supplier invoice to the PO and what was received. Differences beyond your tolerance are flagged; the rest moves on.
Returns and supplier credits
Return material with or without a PO and follow every expected credit until the supplier actually pays it.
Canadian and US sales tax
HST, GST, PST and US state tax come from each project's location, so every PO is taxed for where the material is going.
Projects, teams and approvals
People see the projects they're assigned to. Approval limits, budgets and a message thread on every project keep the office and the field in step.
For the office
Purchasers, admins and accounts payable work from one list of POs, RFQs, returns and invoices — with approval limits and a full activity history.
For the field
Foremen and project managers request material from their phone, see what's ordered and what's back-ordered, and message the office on the project.
For your suppliers
Clean, professional POs and RFQs as PDFs, with your logo, terms and the exact prices from their own price files.
