In construction, materials can make or break a project. Delays, missing items, and miscommunications between suppliers and contractors often lead to blown budgets and missed deadlines. The stakes get even higher when dealing with large, complex purchase orders with long lead times, like switchgear, lighting packages, pumping packages, or chillers. 

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a major new partnership with Wesco, the largest electrical distributor in the U.S. We teamed up to solve one of the biggest challenges Project Managers face: tracking long lead time, expensive, large purchases. We call them Project POs. Our goal is to give contractors unprecedented visibility, coordination, and control over their materials from start to finish.

"By leveraging the combined strengths of Kojo's AI-powered platform and Wesco's extensive distribution network, this partnership is poised to transform the construction industry, automating workflows and solving critical pain points for customers, leading to unprecedented efficiency and accuracy in project delivery,” said Sean Grasby, Senior Vice President and General Manager of U.S. Construction, Wesco.

This isn’t just another integration. It’s the largest investment Wesco has ever made in a technology company, and it’s about to change how contractors manage materials.

Why this matters for contractors: 

• Eliminate manual data entry and email-based material tracking across all project phases 
• Access real-time material status to plan with precision and avoid costly schedule delays
• Leverage AI-powered insights to automate submittal reviews, material ordering, and release & delivery scheduling
• Deploy AI agents to assist in all procurement activities, scheduling tasks, and distributor follow ups, ensuring no ball is dropped

‍In short: you’ll always know what’s coming, when it’s arriving, and if anything changes—before it becomes a problem.

“This partnership is a huge vote of confidence from a true industry leader in electrical distribution,” said Maria Davidson, co-founder and CEO of Kojo. “The feedback we’ve received from customers using our platform with Wesco has been incredible—they’re building more accurately, avoiding costly mistakes, and delivering projects on time and on budget with much greater ease. Together, we’re setting a new standard for how materials are managed in construction.”

A connected future for materials management

The Wesco + Kojo partnership is about more than just faster deliveries or better tracking—it’s about connecting every part of the procurement process, from the field to finance, in one platform. With real-time updates and AI-powered tools, contractors can finally operate with complete confidence in their materials pipeline.

This is the future of construction procurement: connected, automated, and built for the way contractors actually work.
