The Home Depot, the world’s largest home improvement retailer, launched a new Project Planning tool, a digital platform designed to streamline how specialty tradespeople, professional renovators, and remodelers plan, manage and execute complex projects.
The Home Depot’s Project Planning tool enables pros to manage every phase of their projects on one platform through a single supplier. Project Planning brings together the entire Home Depot product assortment, including all items available in stores and fulfillment centers, appliances and specialty items like decking and windows, into an easy-to-use digital workspace. Pros can collaborate with their Home Depot support team in real time and access planning tools for every step of the project lifecycle, including:
- Seamless Material List Creation: Pros can create comprehensive materials lists for all their projects and organize by the various phases of a project, by room, or by category. They can also save lists as templates to easily reorder go-to materials as needed.
- Order Tracking and Management: The Project Planning tool offers a consolidated view of all project-related transactions, including order and digital delivery tracking.
- Personalized Delivery Preferences: Different job sites have different delivery needs, from staged deliveries to specific drop-off locations. With the new Project Planning tool, pros can set job site instructions, business hours and delivery preferences for each project, giving them a tailored delivery experience.
- Early Pricing and Inventory Visibility: In order to provide accurate estimates to their clients and plan for what materials they will need for a project, pros now get early visibility into pricing and inventory availability.
- Multi-User Collaboration: Complex renovation, remodeling and construction aren’t one-person jobs. Pros likely have multiple crews working on multiple sites, so it’s critical to keep everyone on the same page at every step of the project. Multi-user collaboration lets pros and their crews stay up to date on materials, deliveries, invoicing and more.
“Our Project Planning tool makes it easier than ever for our Pro customers to plan, purchase and monitor the status of their complex projects – all backed by the full power of The Home Depot’s product assortment and expertise,” said Mike Rowe, executive vice president of Pro for The Home Depot. “The average Pro works with 10 or more suppliers on a single job. We’re in a unique position to simplify this process and will continue to expand our digital tools to meet the evolving needs of Pros.”
Project Planning is available to all Home Depot Pro customers through the Pro Online Experience platform. Pros can enroll at www.homedepot.com/pro.
