Material Now vs Concrete Buddy

Material Now lets contractors track concrete and bulk material deliveries, job site performance, and project status in real time. If you have a smart phone or tablet, you’ll have the updates you need to make informed decisions. Crews in the field can track trucks, exchange messages with materials suppliers, get alerts and avoid problems. Managers can follow project and crew performance, request new orders and check financials – all from a mobile device or online.

Concrete Buddy is built for the way concrete guys actually price work. Measure the job, get your material and pricing breakdown, and send the estimate right from your phone. No writing everything down to redo it later, no bouncing between notes and calculators, and no entering the same job twice. Once your pricing is set up, the app uses your own costs, so you can price jobs in minutes before you even leave the customer’s driveway. Save jobs, load them back up, keep your client list ready, and use the same information for estimates, invoices, and organized project records without starting over. Concrete Buddy is more than a calculator. It is a natural workflow built for real concrete work, from measuring and pricing to paperwork. Whether you’re a concrete finisher, general contractor, estimator, subcontractor, or owner-operator, Concrete Buddy helps you price work faster, stay organized, and send cleaner documents with less back and forth.
