HOMESPHERE

Colorado-based HomeSphere is the nation's largest provider of software-as-a-service solutions to the construction industry. Using a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, HomeSphere offers Web-based technology and market intelligence that specifically manages product and materials purchasing and rebate management for the residential construction industry—delivering increased profitability and efficiency to the full spectrum of the industry's supply chain. HomeSphere estimates that approximate... ly $1.2 billion is lost per year in the residential home building market from supply chain inefficiencies. As a bottom-line solution, HomeSphere continues to grow, despite a lagging market. More than 55 Fortune 1000 vendors, such as GE Appliances, utilize the network to access to hard-to-reach mid-tier home builders, who represent a "Long Tail" market with outstanding growth projections. On the other side of the supply chain, more than 1,200 residential home builders of all sizes gain exposure to the Fortune 1000 vendors. The rebates and group purchasing vendors offer through the network allow builders to cut bottom-line spending.More
