How it works

How PlantBid handles commercial plant procurement for your jobs.

Sourcing plants for commercial jobs has always meant hours of phone calls, paper availability lists, and back-and-forth with suppliers. PlantBid replaces all of that with dedicated procurement support. Here is exactly how it works.

The process

From plant list to delivered material, three steps.

1

Send your plant list

No reformatting required. Send it as-is and our team takes it from there.

  • Plant species and common names
  • Quantities and container sizes
  • Jobsite location and delivery date
  • Spec requirements or substitutions

2

We price it and build your submittal

Our team sources across verified wholesale growers, prices your list, and turns it around fast.

  • Pricing for every line item
  • Photos of expected plant material
  • Grower and sourcing details
  • Lead times and availability

3

We coordinate delivery to your job site

Once you approve the package, we coordinate with growers to schedule delivery around your job timeline. You stay focused on running the job. We handle the supply chain.

Why this works

No more calling around. No more chasing availability.

The traditional way of sourcing plants for commercial jobs costs contractors hours every week. Phone calls to nurseries that are not answering. Availability lists that are out of date. Quotes that take three days to come back.

PlantBid replaces that entire process with one point of contact and a team that handles everything. Contractors who work with PlantBid spend significantly less time on procurement, and they know exactly what is arriving before it shows up.
