SupplyPass for HVAC
SupplyPass enables HVAC technicians and new contractors to buy from wholesale suppliers like Johnstone and URI without holding a trade account. Users submit material requests through the app, and vetted partner accounts fulfill orders at trade pricing, solving the account access gap in HVAC sourcing and procurement.

- Verified partner network of established HVAC businesses that allow order fulfillment
- Order tracking and delivery coordination to technician's location
- Secure payment and invoicing with receipts for warranty
Target Users: HVAC field technicians and new contractors unable to get wholesale trade accounts or trade pricing
Revenue Model: SaaS subscription (monthly fee per user) + transaction fee (5-10% per order)
