Key benefits of upgrading
1. High-value project intelligence
While our Starter account is ideal for residential or small-scale commercial works (up to $500k), upgrading unlocks the ability to track major infrastructure and multi-res developments.
- Scale your volume: For a supplier, moving from a $500k project to a $100m project can mean the difference between supplying 20 units of product versus 2,000.
- Complete Project Lifecycle: Paid users can see Awarded and Closed projects. This is vital for following a lead after the tender closes to see which builder won the contract.
2. Strategic lead timing (awarded builder visibility)
A major advantage of a paid license is seeing which builder was successful.
- Avoid missed windows: If you have a product with a long lead time (e.g., 16 weeks), you cannot afford to wait for a builder to call you.
- Proactive outreach: By identifying the winning builder the moment they are awarded, you can secure your spot in their supply chain before they look elsewhere.
3. Advanced automation with Speci-Finder
Free accounts include 3 Speci-Finder keywords to get you started. However, businesses with diverse product ranges or multiple service areas benefit from increased automation:
- Standard subscription: 10 Keywords per team member
- Professional/Plus: 20 Keywords per team member
- The benefit: More keywords mean less manual searching. Let the system do the "heavy lifting" by notifying you when a project matches your specific niche.
4. The "Subbie Connect" ecosystem
Upgrading transforms your profile from a passive viewer to an active participant, utilising our Subbie Connect feature.
- Identify partners: See which subcontractors are interested in a project.
- Promote your brand: Use the Share and Connect feature to highlight your business to matched subcontractors exactly when they are looking for quotes.
5. Workflow & integration tools
Paid tiers include "Quality of Life" features designed for teams:
- Calendar sync: Integrate project deadlines with Google, Outlook, or Apple calendars.
- Watchlist management: Assign specific projects to team members to ensure no lead goes cold.
- Estimated construction dates: Gain visibility on actual estimated construction start and end dates to better manage your inventory and labor.
Is it time to upgrade?
If you find that you are frequently hitting the $500k project cap, or if you are missing out on projects because you don't know which builder won the contract, a paid subscription may be the right next step for your growth.
You can upgrade in our platform via the Licenses tab.
