Streamlining B2B Construction Procurement

Founded in 2022 by Ibrahim Manna, BRKZ offers a platform that connects construction businesses with a vast network of suppliers and building materials. They provide users with multiple delivery and payment options to streamline the procurement process.

While BRKZ doesn’t facilitate direct online purchases at this time, it allows buyers to generate and share requests for quotations (RFQs) through a user-friendly app or via WhatsApp.

Supplier Benefits and Market Landscape

The platform also features a simplified portal for suppliers, enabling them to customize pricing based on factors like project size, location, and chosen delivery methods. BRKZ boasts over $170 million in facilitated quotations across nearly 1,200 products from more than 350 suppliers to date.

BRKZ competes in the B2B construction marketplace alongside established players like OfBusiness, Moglix, and Infra.Market.
