Online Ordering & Smart Pricing Technology

Online Ordering & Smart Pricing Technology

The Technology That Revolutionized Bulk Material Purchasing in Ontario

When Simcoesoils.ca launched in 2013, the bulk landscaping materials industry operated the same way it had for decades: customers called suppliers, waited for callbacks, got incomplete quotes that didn't include delivery costs, and spent hours trying to compare options. We saw a better way.

Today, our integrated online ordering and smart pricing platform processes thousands of orders annually, delivering transparency, convenience, and guaranteed best pricing that traditional suppliers simply cannot match.

Order Anytime, Anywhere - 24/7/365

The Problem with Traditional Ordering

Most bulk material suppliers still operate on outdated systems:

  • Business hours only (miss a call, wait until tomorrow)
  • Phone tag between multiple suppliers for quotes
  • Incomplete pricing (product cost without delivery details)
  • Manual calculations prone to errors
  • No way to easily compare total delivered costs
  • No order history or easy reordering

Smart Pricing Technology: How It Works

The Traditional Pricing Problem

Standard bulk material pricing fails customers in multiple ways:

  • Static pricing that doesn't reflect actual delivery costs
  • No ability to compare pricing across multiple supplier locations with different unit costs and delivery costs
  • Quantity pricing tiers that don't optimize for actual truck capacities
  • Hidden fees discovered only at delivery
  • No ability to compare total delivered costs across suppliers

Our Proprietary Pricing Engine

Supersoils.com's smart pricing technology integrates multiple data sources in real-time to calculate the true lowest delivered cost for every order:

Location Analysis: Your exact delivery address determines the optimal supplier from our 300+ location network, considering unit cost, quantity, distance and delivery cost

Quantity Optimization: The system analyzes truck capacities, delivery efficiency, and supplier pricing tiers to identify quantity sweet spots that minimize your per-unit cost.

Dynamic Calculation: Pricing updates continuously as you adjust quantities, delivery dates, or product selections, showing exactly how changes affect your total cost.

Smart Pricing in Action: Real Examples

Case Study: A Gravel Order Optimization

Highlighted below are key inflection points where unit prices, delivery costs, and truck capacities combine to impact overall pricing for this specific address and product. Each delivery address and product combination will show different Smart Pricing results:

Order Scenario: Customer needs gravel delivered to a construction site

  • 16 metric tons: $40.00/metric ton = $640.00 product + $249.21 delivery = $889.21 total
  • 15 metric tons: $26.34/metric ton = $395.10 product + $363.92 delivery = $759.02 total
  • 9 metric tons: $26.34/metric ton = $237.06 product + $363.92 delivery = $600.98 total
  • 8 metric tons: $40.00/metric ton = $320.00 product + $249.21 delivery = $569.21 total
  • 1 metric ton: $40.00/metric ton = $40.00 product + $182.11 delivery = $222.11 total

What This Shows: The smart pricing reveals how we maintain the cheapest overall pricing when factoring in load size, delivery cost and unit prices.
