Email and Excel charge you twice

Once in the days spent rebuilding sheets and chasing replies. Again in the overrun nobody sees until the invoice lands.

Your numbers, not ours

We won't quote you a case study you can't verify. Put your own volumes in — the arithmetic is printed underneath, and you can argue with every assumption in it.

Time saved comes from sending and comparing, not from working faster Cost avoided is variance caught before award, not a promised discount No supplier count, no per-seat maths, no hidden multiplier

STEP 01
Bring your BOQ in

Import the spreadsheet you already price with. Sections, codes, quantities and rates stay as they are.

STEP 02
Run one RFQ

Pick a package, tick the lines, send it to the suppliers you already use. No onboarding programme required.

STEP 03
Watch the line close

Award, raise the PO, record receipts — and see committed and actual land on the line you started from.

Start with one package

Free trial, your own BOQ, no card. If the first RFQ doesn't come back faster than your last one, you've lost an afternoon.
