Field Materials AI has rolled out a major addition to its construction procurement platform, launching Pricing Intelligence, a real-time analytics module designed to help contractors navigate rising tariffs, unpredictable price swings and shrinking margins. The company announced the new tool Thursday from its Charlotte, North Carolina office.
With construction firms facing unprecedented material volatility and long-term pricing uncertainty, executives are looking for better ways to stabilize job costs. Field Materials AI said its new Pricing Intelligence dashboard was developed to give leaders an immediate and comprehensive view of the prices they pay across all materials and equipment throughout the year.
The module compiles real-time pricing data, tracks how costs fluctuate, and projects potential savings if contractors lock in pricing early with suppliers. The platform is aimed at C-suite leaders, business owners, and purchasing managers — groups that typically rely on lump-sum purchase orders that lack details about quantities, specific materials or pricing histories. That information gap, the company noted, makes it nearly impossible to analyze price patterns, negotiate volume discounts, or forecast procurement needs.
The new tool fills that gap by reading vendor quotes and invoices, extracting each individual material line item, and monitoring how prices change over time. Users can analyze company-wide purchasing behavior across multiple projects, identify high-volume materials with volatile pricing, and determine which supplies make sense to stock in warehouses.
For contractors bidding new work or launching a fresh project, the dashboard can also help them identify materials likely to increase in cost and lock in buyouts early to protect margins.
“Given tariffs and the resulting price volatility, Field Materials AI’s Pricing Intelligence module is a strategic tool that could help us monitor material prices, identify potential savings, and protect our job margins,” said Javier Lucatero, President of Accurate Firestop in Pleasanton, California.
Company leaders say interest in these capabilities has been rising sharply as contractors look for better visibility into their material cost exposure. “A growing number of customers come to us organically looking for the capabilities Field Materials AI provides. A big part of this interest is their need for visibility into construction material prices. Pricing Intelligence empowers contractors to stay ahead of the competition.” said Eldar Sadikov, CEO and Co-Founder of Field Materials AI.
Expanding Role in Construction Tech
The Pricing Intelligence launch extends the company’s broader mission to simplify and modernize material procurement. Field Materials’ platform already automates purchase orders, invoices, packing slips and receipt workflows across major ERPs, helping contractors eliminate manual entry and reduce errors. The company says customers typically save 5–10% on material costs through better oversight and more efficient purchasing processes.
Since its founding in 2022, Field Materials AI has grown rapidly, now serving customers across 12 construction trades, 30 U.S. states, and four countries. The platform processes more than $700 million in material purchases annually and has raised approximately $19 million in venture capital, tripling its growth over the past year.
With Pricing Intelligence now part of its suite, the company aims to meet the industry’s escalating need for real-time cost control tools — a need made more urgent by global supply chain pressures, shifting tariffs, competitive bidding environments, and tighter project margins.
