Net 30 means the invoice is due 30 days from the invoice date. The mechanics are simple; what causes friction is missing attribution on the order.
What we need to open an account
The application asks for the legal entity, billing address, a contact who can approve purchases, and trade references. A requested credit limit helps us size the account to your monthly spend.
Put the PO on the order, not in an email
Every order can carry a PO number, job or site name, and a cost code. Those fields ride through to the invoice, so accounting can match without chasing anyone.
- PO number — required by most GCs before they will pay
- Job / site name — makes job costing possible after the fact
- Cost code — maps the spend into your accounting system
Delivery vs will-call
Pick fulfilment at checkout. Will-call pickup is faster when a crew is already mobile; delivery with a requested date is better for staged material.
Keeping approvals moving
Save recurring material as a list, quote anything unusual before the crew needs it, and let reorder reminders surface consumables before they run out. Fewer emergency orders means fewer rush charges.
