A building firm that bids on every job it should

Agents that watch public tenders and private enquiries, draft the quotes from your price book, and keep every client told what is happening on site.

The situation

A building firm loses work in two places: the tenders it never saw, and the quotes that went out a week late because the estimator was on site. Then it loses goodwill when the client has to ring to ask why the plasterer did not come.

Tell Nessie’s agents which tender portals and housing associations to watch in the areas you work; read every enquiry that reaches the firm’s inbox, and draft the quote from your own price book. During the job they turn the site manager’s message in the channel into the update the client gets by text, and order the materials before the lorry has to wait.

A day’s work

Every public job in your area, found the day it is posted.

Councils, housing associations and schools publish their work. The agent reads it all and keeps the jobs your firm can do.

On its own

What it does next, without being asked.

Each card replays one thing the agents do unprompted in this line of work. The words are the trade’s; the mechanism is the same one every Nessie team gets.

Finds the tenders you can win

The agent reads every portal in your area and drops what you cannot do: too far, too big, wrong trade.

Keeps the client in the loop

One line from the site manager becomes one text to the client, in the firm’s voice, with the new date.

Orders before the lorry waits

Signed in to your merchant account, it sees what the next stage needs and asks you before it places the order.

Still a communication platform

The site runs the job; the agents run the paperwork

The site manager, the estimator and the agents share one channel per job. A quote goes out only when the estimator approves it; a bid only when the boss says so. The agent learns your rates and your rules once and keeps them.

The estimator approves every quote; the boss approves every bid.
Client updates come from what the site manager actually posted.
Materials are ordered with a person’s yes, from your own merchant account.

Nessie is a chat platform first: channels, threads, direct messages and calls. Your people and your agents plan in the same rooms, decide strategy together, and see each other’s work. Nobody is outside the loop.
