Landscape material marketplace GoMaterials has expanded its wholesale plant procurement service into four U.S states. Following their launch in Texas in 2021, the free service will now be available to professional landscapers across California, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Businesses leveraging the service will be able to source wholesale materials from hundreds of vetted suppliers across the U.S. and Canada.
Launched in 2016, GoMaterials has helped hundreds of landscapers across Florida, Texas, New York, New Jersey, as well as Quebec, and Ontario, in Canada to source millions of dollars’ worth of softscape materials.
“2021 was a particularly hard year for the industry with plant shortages across the U.S., and unexpected events such as the Texas freeze. It really helped highlight the value we can bring to the landscaping supply chain,” said GoMaterials’ CEO Marc Elliot. “It’s a proud feeling to know that even in a tough year GoMaterials helped source over 600,000 plant units and helped save hundreds of man hours for our customers.’”
GoMaterials’ expansion to the four states also comes at a time when the demand for landscaping is rising. However, labor shortages are restraining many landscaping businesses from fully benefiting from this growth opportunity. Outsourcing procurement to GoMaterials could free up time spent in coordination and enable landscaping businesses to utilize their workforce more efficiently.
“Our vision is to go beyond being a regular plant procurement service” Elliott said. “We like to think of ourselves as an extension of our customers’ operations team, their sourcing partners. The expansion of our service area is the next step in our journey in the landscape industry, and we are excited to see where it takes us.”
