Real estate developers leave money on the table, and honest suppliers leave wins on the table, because the medium of exchange is a phone call. We think procurement is a market — and markets need infrastructure: sealed bids, locked criteria, verified counterparties, and an audit trail. That's what we're building.
If we ever leak a sealed bid value to a peer or a buyer's strategy to a supplier, we've broken the product. Every primitive carries an explicit viewerRole.
The interface is an instrument. It clicks, it locks, it confirms. It does not cheerlead. Bids are sealed and submitted; bids are not "on their way!".
Every state transition is hashed and timestamped, and exportable as PDF. If you can't defend the result in a deposition, we haven't done our job.
Subscription is the whole price. Commissions distort behavior — we'd benefit from higher bids — and we won't take that conflict on.
Project managers run twelve RFQs at once. The product reads like a Bloomberg terminal, not a SaaS landing page. Mono numerals; tabular alignment; 13px body.
NYC, NJ, CT. We pick small geographies and we win them. National expansion is enterprise, not breadth.
Multi-step RFQ creation with material-specific spec forms, weighted award criteria, sealed-bid comparison, approval chains, POs, contracts, delivery, and AP review.
Matched RFQ feed, sealed bid submission with edit-window and lock receipts, win/loss analytics, invoicing, and payout tracking.
Supplier document verification, RFQ moderation, structured disputes, two-way ratings, and a full audit log behind every state change.
We're onboarding NYC tri-state developers and licensed suppliers hands-on — lumber, steel, and concrete first, with drywall, insulation, and roofing on the roadmap.
