TrueSpec

TrueSpec

The last product spreadsheet you'll ever email.

Every manufacturer emails their catalog around — composite decking, railing, siding, house wrap, cabinet hardware, plywood, MDF, HPL, laminates, adhesives, lumber. Every shop and yard downstream keeps someone wrestling it into their own system — copy-pasting from a spreadsheet, or duct-taping together an import that breaks every time the format changes, with all the technology we’ve got today. By Wednesday it’s stale. By month-end it’s wrong. By the time you reorder, a composite decking color got discontinued, a railing section changed profile, a soft-close slide jumped from 100-lb to 120-lb, and a SKU that used to ship 25 to a box now ships 50.

TrueSpec is the live product catalog for the building trades. Manufacturers publish their catalog once — composite decking, railing, and siding; house wrap; cabinet hardware; panel goods (plywood, MDF, HPL); laminates, adhesives, and lumber — and the shops, yards, dealers, and software downstream pull current data straight from the source.

Who it’s for

If you make it

Manufacturers and suppliers of composite decking, railing, siding, house wrap, cabinet hardware, plywood, MDF, HPL, laminates, adhesives, and lumber. Publish your catalog once; reach every customer who sells or builds with it.

If you sell or build with it

Cabinet and millwork shops, lumberyards, dealers, e-commerce sites, and the ERPs they run on. Pull current product info live, straight from the brand, instead of re-typing a stale spreadsheet.

Publish · Distribute · Stay in control

Publish

Upload your catalog spreadsheet. TrueSpec automatically maps your column names to a clean, standard format and checks every row. To refresh, upload the new version any time — it updates in place, no duplicates. Or edit any field by hand in the web interface; your changes stick around through future uploads, because TrueSpec tracks who changed what.

Distribute

Your customers and their software each get one secure key — cabinet and millwork shops, lumberyards, dealers, e-commerce sites, and the ERPs they run on. Their systems read your live catalog automatically and stay current on their own. It’s built so their tech person can connect it in an afternoon, not a quarter.

Stay in control

You decide who reads your data, by invitation, and you can cut off access any time. We keep a record of every time someone pulls your data — who, what, and when. And once a customer is connected, a change on our end won’t quietly break their setup.

For developers

A REST API that behaves the way you always wished vendor data would. One key, clean JSON, cursor pagination, conditional requests, and incremental sync so you pull only what changed since last time. Interactive OpenAPI docs you can read in the browser, and a sandbox you can hit before you sign anything.
