Works at the supply houses plumbing contractors actually use
Truck-level spend visibility
See spend by tech, by truck, by service area — not just one company-wide number.
Tax set-aside on every deposit
One toggle. Slater quietly moves a percentage of every payment into a tax sub-account.
Bill pay for supply houses
Ferguson, F.W. Webb, Hajoca — pay them all from one inbox, ACH or card.
