Ten supplieraccounts.One bill.
tradebuy works across the trade accounts you already have. Send it the job list and it finds the cheapest way to get everything to site, orders on your accounts, and sends you one statement for Xero or MYOB.
Pilot now open. Built in Melbourne.
The price that matters is the price on site
Cheap cable stops being cheap when it brings a $25 delivery fee, a minimum order and a Wednesday arrival for a Tuesday job. tradebuy adds all of it up for every supplier you hold an account with, then gives you three ways to buy the job.
- LOWESTCheapest to site, even if it takes three deliveries.
- BALANCEDClose to the lowest, with fewer trucks.
- ONE SUPPLIERWhat you'd normally do, priced so you can compare.

How it works
Send us your price files and invoices
No passwords needed. If a supplier's portal lets you add a staff user, you can add tradebuy and take it off again whenever you like.
Drop in the job list
A CSV, a take-off, a supplier quote, or a photo of the list on the back of the plans.
Pick a plan and order
Orders go on your own accounts at your own trade prices. Every delivery to site shows on one timeline.
Get one statement
Every invoice matched to what was ordered and what turned up, then synced to Xero or MYOB.
Your accounts. Your trade prices.
We don't resell anything
Each supplier still invoices you, on your terms and your credit limit. tradebuy plans the order and keeps the paperwork together.
Reseller-only distributors work too
IT, AV and security gear is planned on your reseller account, the same way you buy it now.
Keep the suppliers you won't leave
Lock a supplier in for a category. Every plan also shows the one-supplier price, so you can see what loyalty costs before you order.
Your pricing stays yours
Suppliers and other buyers never see what you pay.
See what your last five jobs should have cost
- 90 days of invoices from your 3 or 4 main suppliers
- 5 recent job lists, in whatever form you have them
- For each job: what you paid, and the cheapest way to site
- How many hours a week supplier paperwork is taking
Your invoices are used only for your check, with your written permission. They're never shared with suppliers or other buyers.

Do I have to change suppliers?
No. tradebuy uses the suppliers and accounts you already have. You choose which ones each job can use.
Do you need my supplier passwords?
No. Price files and invoices are enough to start.
What if splitting costs me a rebate?
Lock that supplier in for the category. The one-supplier price is always on the plan, so you can weigh it up.
