Revolutionizing Material Procurement

Eric Helzer founded Subbase to address the challenges in material procurement faced by subcontractors, which became particularly pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic. His journey started with an internship in construction in 2008, leading to a deeper understanding of industry pain points by 2020, as pricing fluctuations and management inefficiencies became evident. In 2021, Eric, with a technical advisor, began writing code for Subbase, aiming to streamline procurement processes and improve efficiency. The resulting software manages thousands of orders and millions in invoices, revolutionizing how construction companies handle material procurement.
