Solutions · Oil & gas supply
Three hundred lines. One tender. One deadline.
Oil and gas supply is tender work: long material lists, many brands, strict specifications and a closing date, with the same suppliers asked every time.
Tenders are a race to a complete answer
A tender that closes on Sunday with three hundred lines and six brands is mostly clerical work: read it, split it, ask the suppliers, chase them, compare, price. The buyer scores completeness and lead time as much as price.
What the desk does
- Reads the tender's material list from its cells, nothing retyped.
- Ranks suppliers by how many lines their price lists cover.
- Captures every supplier's reply, with brand, quality and lead time kept.
- Builds the quotation with lead times, weights and alternatives on every line.
