Tired of chasing scrap?
There’s a better way to buy.

There are no subscription fees and buyers can have as many users as they need on Buddy. You only pay a small commission on material that you buy.

No, you pay suppliers directly in line with the agreed payment terms for each trade.

Buddy verifies new supplier accounts to confirm they are legitimate companies that have physical yard operations. Each supplier has a profile, backed with trade-verified ratings and reviews. We still encourage you to check all your regular boxes.

Buddy gives you the tools to document and share discrepancies for better transparency, an enhanced supplier experience, and so that both trading parties can leverage discrepancy data to improve trading outcomes over time.

Buddy helps you build trust quickly and deepen relationships over time. Every supplier has a media-rich profile with trade-verified ratings and reviews, so you can get a feel for who you're dealing with before you make a move. You can connect directly with suppliers through in-app chat or calls - no middlemen, no delays.

Once you start trading, Buddy tracks your interactions and trade history with each supplier, and surfaces that data where it's most useful in the app. This helps you see which relationships are performing - and where there’s room to grow. Buddy’s AI relationship intelligence also gives you insight into which suppliers are worth investing more of your time in, helping you spend your energy where it matters most.

When you respond to a listing, only that supplier can view your price. When you post on the Discover feed, all suppliers in the Buddy network can see your post. Once you conclude a trade with a supplier, they will have access to all historic and real-time data relating to your interactions and trades on Buddy.

No, only the person negotiating and concluding the trade needs to use Buddy. You can communicate and share info and docs with your team directly in-app, and they can receive and respond via email. You can track everything without touching your inbox.
