The platform that Modernizes Lumber and Building Materials buying, selling, and trading
NorthStar replaces the multiple phone calls, spreadsheets, and email chains. Buy, sell, and coordinate logistics from a single platform. Purpose-built for how lumber actually trades.
The digital infrastructure lumber and building materials has been missing.
Purpose-built trading software is common in many industries. Lumber has been running on phone calls and spreadsheets. NorthStar changes that.
Live Seller and Market Pricing Data
Buyers see real time pricing data from sellers, and up to date market data. Know where the market is before you start buying.
Order Management
No more manual entry, paper trails, emails or texts, back and forth phone calls. No more confusion, no more missed details. Orders are sent to the seller for review and confirmation, amendments are managed in the same place, and everyone stays on the same page.
Track your order from door to door
Logistics is finally integrated with the buy and sell process. Orders are confirmed, shipping is booked, delivered or picked up, all the documnts are handled in a consistent way. Then track the load from the mill to its final destination.
Connect with buyers and sellers in real time
Buyers and their sellers connect on the platform. They can see live pricing, build orders, suggest target pricing, and get confirmation. No more chasing, no more guessing, phone calls, texts, or emails. Just seamless trading.
See the platformWhat our pilot users are saying
We used to spend hours every week just reconciling what we thought was agreed on the phone against what showed up in the invoice. NorthStar eliminated that entirely — the order is generated the moment the trade is done.
The inventory dashboard alone is worth it. I can see exactly what what I need to buy across every product. That's visibility that used to take hours to pull together.
All my vendors are on NorthStar. I don't need to call anyone. I can see what they have, their current prices. I build an order, send it to them, and get a confirmation. Then I can track my shipment all in one place.
Your procurement team deserves better than spreadsheets, email, and phone calls?
