The ABC Supply Connector uses OAuth 2.0. This is a secure, industry-standard “handshake” that allows XBuild to communicate with ABC Supply without you ever having to manually copy and paste complex codes or manage secret keys. You must be logged into XBuild as an Administrator to add the ABC Supply Connector. Connectors require an XBuild Pro Subscription Plan or greater.

​
Why Connect ABC Supply to XBuild?

Integrating your myABCsupply account directly into XBuild transforms your estimating workflow from “best guess” to “precision-based.”
  • Real-Time Local Pricing: Stop relying on outdated price lists. Access live pricing specific to your local ABC Supply branch and your negotiated contractor rates.
  • Protect Your Margins: With material costs fluctuating, real-time data ensures your proposals are always profitable and protects you from underquoting.
  • Order-Ready Material Lists: The materials in your estimate are matched to real products in ABC Supply’s catalog, so the list you hand your branch matches what they actually stock — no translating generic line items.
  • Enhanced Professionalism: Deliver faster, more accurate bids to homeowners that reflect current market availability.

How Pricing Works in Your Estimates

Once connected, no extra steps are needed — pricing happens where you already work:
  • Your account’s pricing is used at estimate time. When XBuild prices materials in an estimate, it requests live pricing from ABC Supply for the account and branch you selected, so the numbers reflect your negotiated rates at your branch — not a generic price list. See Pricing and profit for how material costs flow into your estimate totals.
  • Catalog data refreshes roughly daily. XBuild syncs ABC Supply’s product catalog about once a day, so new products and catalog changes typically show up in XBuild within a day.
  • Pick a different branch for one project. On the project’s Overview tab, the ABC Supply row in the Connectors section shows which branch is pricing that project — open it to choose a different ship-to account or branch for that project only. Your default branch from setup stays in place for everything else.

Troubleshooting & Tips

  • Account Requirements: You must have an active myABCsupply account to use this connector. If you only have a standard ABC Supply credit account but no online login, you can register at myABCsupply.com.
  • Session Timeout: For security, OAuth “handshakes” may occasionally expire. If you notice pricing isn’t updating, simply go to the Connectors tab and click Reconnect to refresh your credentials.
  • Pricing Discrepancies: Ensure your “Ship-To” address in XBuild matches your primary ABC branch, as pricing can vary slightly between different branch locations.
