Specified project at tender to consistent quotes and the winning order
We take off your hands: grouping enquiries for one project, pricing it once, quoting every bidder the same and answering cheaper substitute challenges.
You get: one consistent quote for every bidder for your estimator to check, like-for-like answers to cheaper substitutes and a submittal pack for the winner.

The problem
We get specified, then five contractors ask for prices, the quotes don't match and someone swaps us for a cheaper product.
How the steps join up
It starts when: a project with your product specified goes out to tender and several contractors or installers ask for prices.
Track projects where your product is specified and warn of a swap
Log and check every product enquiry before it reaches an engineer
Sort tender enquiries from several main contractors for the same project
Find the closest past jobs, drawings and quotes for a new enquiry
Draft quotations for custom products from the enquiry, drawings and similar past jobs
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Prepare a like-for-like comparison when a specified product is challenged by a cheaper substitute
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Flag quotes and orders priced below your margin floor before they go out
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Follow up open quotes and record why orders were won or lost
Assemble product submittal packs for contractor approval
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Use won and lost quotes and market prices to guide your pricing
What you end up with: Enquiries for the same project are grouped and priced once, every bidder gets a consistent quote above the margin floor, cheaper substitutes are answered like for like, the winning contractor gets the submittal pack, and won and lost results sharpen pricing.
Who signs it off: Your estimator checks each quote and your sales manager approves exceptions. Specification and technical managers approve comparisons and submittals.
