How AI is used

SubBase is a procurement tool for the construction industry that supports the flow of materials from initial request to invoice reconciliation. Field teams can submit requests via catalogs, conversational AI, or photos, which office staff can then use to generate purchase orders with vendor pricing.

The software is designed for subcontractors, general contractors, and their vendor networks, replacing fragmented communication methods such as texts and emails with centralized logs and a shared material database.

Key capabilities include AI-supported delivery capture and invoice matching to help flag discrepancies. The system also supports integrations with common construction accounting software to help reduce manual data entry.

Buyers should confirm how the tiered pricing aligns with their specific volume needs and verify that their primary vendors are willing to engage with the platform's vendor portal.
