How do these features benefit my business?
- Viewing higher value projects:
Particularly advantageous for suppliers with capacity for larger projects, offering increased quantities and opportunities. For example, an electrical supplier can supply 20 power points for a house or 2,000 power points for a $100m tower in the CBD.
- Identifying winning builders:
This is particularly beneficial if you've been following a project for a while, you've priced at tender stage, but haven't heard back from anyone about your quote in some time. Due to the nature of construction, suppliers are often the last to be notified, which may not give you enough lead time.
For example, a furniture supplier knows a specified item has a 16-week lead time. Once a builder is awarded, the supplier can find the winning builder on E1 and let them know that the item needs to be ordered long in advance. Without knowing the winning builder, the supplier may be passed off to a competitor with a smaller lead time.
- Speci-Finder automation:
Streamlines lead generation and qualification processes, minimising manual searches and leveraging E1’s capabilities for efficient sourcing. A greater number of keywords ensures you can let E1 do the heavy lifting when it comes to finding projects of interest.
- Connect with and promote your business to aubcontractors:
The Subbie Connect feature highlights interested subbies on projects that match your trades, increasing your chance of being discovered by the right customers. Use Share and Connect to promote your business where your products or specified, or you offer equivalent products.
