For wholesale vendorsBeta
Your catalog, in every yard's Atlas, exactly as you published it.
Atlas is building supply management for the suppliers you sell to: lumber, steel and post-frame yards. For a manufacturer or distributor it is one place to publish a catalog and prices, push a change to a yard with one click, and see it accepted. The yard stops re-keying your price sheet, and you stop wondering which version they are quoting from.
What works today
Your spreadsheet pack becomes the yard's catalog
A yard loads your catalog, prices, color chart, door tags and panel specs from the pack you already send, in a few clicks. A check step shows every change before anything writes, so a bad column never silently reprices a yard.
Your panels, drawn from your drawings
Five real panel profiles, swept from the makers' drawings, sit in the builder's panel picker so a rib panel and a standing seam panel look like themselves. A yard draws a new profile from your spec sheet by answering coverage, rib count, spacing and rib height, and it renders as real steel.
A price change arrives as a decision, not a spreadsheet
Push a price update into a yard's Atlas. It lands in their inbox with its full impact on every affected item, and they accept or reject it in one click. No re-keying on their side, no wondering on yours whether it landed.
Special trim comes back to you as a drawing
When a yard sells a trim piece that is not stock, the vendor packet carries the drawing and the notes. You brake what they drew, not what someone described over the phone.
How the three tiers work as one
Atlas is one shared backbone, not three programs passing files. You publish into it and choose what each yard sees. The supplier is another tenant on the same rail, and the contractor below them designs against the catalog you set. Nothing leaves home to be re-entered somewhere else.

For contractors
Down the rail: catalog, prices and product facts, from the vendor into the supplier's Atlas, and from the supplier into the contractor's builder.
Up the rail: a designed building from the contractor to the supplier today, and purchase orders from the supplier to the vendor next.
Where this goes next
Stated as intent, not as a feature. Atlas is in beta, and what is above this line exists today.
- Purchase orders riding back up the same rail, so the order a yard places is the order you see.
- A directory, so a yard can find you and connect without anyone setting it up by hand.

Tell us which yards you supply. If one of them runs Atlas, we will connect you. If none do yet, that is a conversation worth having too.
