Inventory & Price Book
Supplier API integrations
Pull live catalogs, real-time pricing, and stock from your trade suppliers straight into Thorbis.
Overview
Most contractors still quote off stale PDF catalogs and guess at supplier pricing, then eat the difference when costs move. Thorbis is building direct API connections to major trade suppliers so part numbers, descriptions, and current pricing flow into your price book automatically. You'll quote off live numbers instead of last quarter's, and reorder without re-keying SKUs by hand.
What we're building
Most contractors still quote off stale PDF catalogs and guess at supplier pricing, then eat the difference when costs move between quote and purchase. Re-keying SKUs by hand just adds errors on top.
Thorbis is building direct API connections to major trade suppliers, so part numbers, descriptions, and current pricing flow into your price book automatically. You'll quote off live numbers instead of last quarter's, check stock before you promise a part, and map supplier items to your existing price-book lines so reorders don't mean retyping.
This is for contractors who buy from trade suppliers and want their price book to reflect real, current cost and availability.
