By GlobalDataJuragan Materials CEO and co-founder Tito Putra stated that it takes days for contractors and project owners to source a single item, including time spent on verifying with multiple vendors with regard to pricing and availability.
Putra further added: “We recognised that construction is a huge market that is still very conventional and untapped by technology, resulting in a lot of inefficiencies happening in the industry.”
To address the challenges, the marketplace was established to ease the last aspect of the supply chain for the construction industry.
