Funds secured before you load a pallet. Released to you on confirmed delivery. Nobody rides your charge account until March.
ROADMAP The launch payment model — every payment claim in this pitch describes it; live with the network phase.
You know the story: the season ends and you spend November calling contractors about charge accounts. Here, funds are secured when you win the job and released on confirmed delivery. You never chase an invoice again.
ROADMAP The launch payment model.
Customers you've never had. And you're never forced to be lowest — perks win jobs too: free delivery, forklift offload, held pricing, leftover pickup. "I have enough business" means enough business at chase-the-money terms. This is incremental volume, at your price.
Contractors use YardRFQ free, forever — that's what keeps the bidding side full. Yards are who we charge, and we charge a flat subscription per branch. We never take a percentage of what you sell, never mark up your materials, and never touch the money between you and your customer.
INTENDED LAUNCH PRICING These are our starting numbers, re-priced from real pilot data. Final terms set at launch.
Founding yards run the full pilot free for 90 days. We don't take a card up front, and nothing auto-converts into a paid plan. When the 90 days are up, a rep sits down with you in person, shows you your own branch's numbers, and asks for the renewal. If the numbers aren't there, you don't renew — and nothing was ever charged.
Slow week? Post surplus at your price to every verified contractor within 30 miles. Bagged concrete, poly sand, the pallets aging in the back row — inventory becomes cash without touching your list prices.
ROADMAP Installers keep a card on file. Late cancellations pay a fee — and it goes to the yards who bid, not to us. Tire-kickers pay you.
Verified contractors only. Exact quantities off a real estimate, a real delivery town, a real date. No homeowners price-shopping you.
Sealed identities — competitors see the number to beat, never who holds it or your book pricing. (Open Bid is an opt-in mode a buyer can choose per job — never forced on you.)
A contractor's crew is stuck and needs material TODAY. You have it on the shelf. You set an honest rush fee — and win on speed, not just price.
Answer fast and completely and the badge shows on your branch. What counts is a qualifying bid — unit price, quantity available, ready time, delivery terms, and an inventory attestation — that you don't later withdraw. Acknowledging an alert earns you nothing. Targets: 15 minutes to acknowledge, 45 minutes for a complete bid, measured only during the hours you told us you're open.
You lose it for low acceptance, low fill rate, frequent withdrawals, or big quoted-vs-final price swings. There is no paid ranking on YardRFQ and never will be — that rule is the whole brand.
We will never put a 5-star grudge board on your branch. Your profile shows objective statistics pulled from actual transactions: median time to a qualifying bid, qualifying-bid rate, fulfillment rate, on-time delivery rate, withdrawal rate, price deviation.
Every stat is displayed with its sample size and a plain definition of how it's measured — and any stat with too few transactions behind it is hidden entirely rather than shown. "94% filled" off three jobs is a lie told with true numbers, and we won't print it about you.
Two minutes, live. This is exactly what your counter would see.
