In construction, purchases still rely on emails and spreadsheets: a platform aims to streamline materials, services, and subcontracting

Bringing digitalization to procurement processes in the construction sector, where purchases are still often managed through Excel, emails, and phone calls. This is the idea behind Brix, a startup among the winners of StartCup Lombardia 2025, held within the Startup Days.

The project is led by Tommaso Zoldan, CEO and co-founder, aiming to make procurement processes more efficient and competitive.

Digital procurement in construction

The platform developed by Brix creates a digital channel for purchasing services, materials, and subcontracting.

The goal is to overcome fragmented and outdated processes by introducing more advanced tools for supply management.

The system enables companies to operate in a more transparent, faster, and more efficient way.

A sector still lagging in digitalization

In the construction sector, millions of operators still rely on traditional tools to manage procurement.

This leads to inefficiencies, longer timelines, and reduced ability to compare offers.

Brix addresses this gap by modernizing a key process within the industry.
