Indirect costs and abundant frustrations

56.5% of costs for Construction Industry / Trade businesses in Australia are for ‘Purchases’. If this is our largest cost base, then why aren’t we challenging the status quo and taking control of our procurement strategies? Such as simplifying onboarding processes for access to new vendors.

It was this question that inspired Kartable’s founder to find a solution to release the many friction points in the Australian supply chain.

After years of frustration working in the construction industry, the bitter thought of other industries always having access to technologies and tools to progress was the tipping point.

Having had exposure to both in field and corporate environments, he knew the scope and delivery to his customers had room for improvement, and if he was going to create maximum value for the customer, then he had to find a way to make smarter procurement decisions.

At Kartable, we believe that the industry is primed for technology based growth but habitual and static procurement practices are preventing this from happening.

The way to sustainable, real growth, is through automation and we want to provide the open market a platform for purchasing and vendor led growth.
