VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - June 20, 2016) - BuildDirect, a leading online marketplace for home improvement products, announced today the addition of major home supply brands to its online platform, Home Marketplace. Industry-leading suppliers Mohawk, Armstrong Flooring and Shaw are among the latest to join. Since launching in February, Home Marketplace has grown exponentially -- nearly quadrupling its product count.
"We are delighted to provide our customers access to brands that millions of homeowners know, love and trust," said BuildDirect co-founder, President and CEO, Jeff Booth. "We are committed to offering an unbeatable selection of products at the best value. The addition of these top suppliers is simply another step forward on our path to deliver on that promise for homeowners."
Home Marketplace is delivering value to suppliers by offering access to data not available through traditional channels. By leveraging BuildDirect's advanced analytics system, suppliers receive real-time information on their products that helps to predict future demand. Suppliers can then plug into BuildDirect's shipping and logistics network to move products into warehouses around the country to meet that demand in a smart and cost-effective way.
New suppliers and respective products now available on the BuildDirect Home Marketplace include:
- Mohawk Home and Mohawk Industries: Mohawk is the world's largest flooring company with industry-leading innovation that has yielded products and technologies that differentiate their brands in the marketplace. Mohawk products available on Home Marketplace include a wide range of rugs such as the Strata line, as well as an assortment of hardwood and engineered hardwood flooring.
