Common LBM Problem
The sale happens. The order doesn’t.
When sales and purchasing run as separate steps, sold work can get approved while the vendor purchase order still does not exist. A customer accepts the quote, the salesperson moves on to the next deal, and the VPO still needs to be created.
If that missing step lives in a spreadsheet, paper file, inbox, or someone’s memory, weeks can pass before anyone catches it. By then, the customer has been waiting for a product that was never ordered.
OmniView Construct Solution
Every sale has a clear path to purchasing.
OmniView Construct keeps the quote, sales order, customer, vendor, project, and purchasing activity connected from the moment work is approved.
Purchasing teams can see which sold work still needs action, who owns the next step, and where the order stands before the customer has to ask.
The OmniView Approach
What changes when every sold order has a purchasing path
OmniView surfaces sales orders without a corresponding VPO as open purchasing work — a view the team can check at any point without running a report or asking sales what was sold. When purchasing action is still needed, OmniView prompts the responsible people on a defined schedule until the VPO is created. The salespeople who deal with this gap most directly were the first to ask for that prompt. They recognized the problem better than anyone watching from a distance.
Fewer approved orders get stuck before purchasing.
Sales, purchasing, and operations work from the same record.
Teams can see what still needs action without chasing status.
Customers get clearer answers before trust starts to break.
“OmniView has made running this business so much simpler. It’s built for the way we sell lumber and millwork, with quotes, orders, inventory and invoicing in one system instead of three. I can spend my energy moving the business forward instead of fighting the software.”
“This has taken so much frustration out of my day. Quotes become orders without retyping, and I can see what’s on hand without walking into the warehouse. When something didn’t work the way we needed, they changed it. It feels like we have a team behind us that actually listens.”
“My day just runs smoother now. The office schedules deliveries, I see what’s next on my phone, and nobody has to call to find out where I am. Less back-and-forth, less guesswork—I can get on with the job knowing we’re all on the same page.”
