The Home Depot's digital workspace was designed with the real-life needs of Pros and their entire project lifecycle in mind, providing complete visibility and control in one central experience to help them save time, increase efficiencies and stay focused on the job. Moving beyond simple transactions, the updated Home Depot Pro site experience functions as a project management tool with features built for the day-to-day Pro workflow. The site surfaces the tools Pros rely on most front and center, including: Project Planning: allows Pros to organize large jobs with personalized delivery preferences, preferred pricing and inventory visibility. Pros have access to the majority of The Home Depot's product assortment within the Project Planning tool, including millions of items available in stores and fulfillment centers. The recently launched Material List Builder AI integrates directly with the Project Planning tool, which interprets project intent to generate actionable material lists in seconds, helping Pros bid for jobs faster.

The Home Depot Launches Industry's First Real Time Delivery Tracker For Big And Bulky Materials The Home Depot announced it will launch the industry's first real time delivery tracker for big and bulky materials by the end of the first quarter, empowering Pro customers with a new level of planning and precision for complex projects. According to industry analysis by Autodesk, construction professionals can spend 35% of their time—over 14 hours a week—on non-productive activities. When a critical delivery of concrete, drywall, or lumber is late, it can bring an entire crew to a standstill and result in significant, unnecessary labor costs. Once live, the feature will be available on The Home Depot's mobile app and homedepot.com and will provide minute-by-minute updates on deliveries, including visibility into the truck route and remaining stops. Customers will be able to see when their large items will arrive and plan with greater precision, instead of losing valuable work time due to unpredictable delivery windows. This live tracking is powered by the new The Home Depot Driver Handheld application, which transmits real-time GPS data directly from the delivery truck. This technology pinpoints the truck's location on a live map, offering customers a transparent, up-to-the-minute view of their order's progress toward its final destination. While real-time tracking is already live for consumers ordering large appliances, the expanded experience for big and bulky materials is expected to be live for Pro customers by the end of the first quarter.
