How it works

From your catalogue to a quote your client can open

  1. 1

    Starts from your own catalogue

    Your firm's item master holds the codes, units and rates every draft is matched against, so quotes are priced at your rates.

  2. 2

    Drafted from your catalogue, checked by you

    Buzdesk drafts the bill of quantities and marks every line that came from the machine, flagging the ones worth a second look. Edit a line and it becomes yours.

  3. 3

    Sent to the suppliers you choose

    Pick the sections to price and the suppliers to ask. Each supplier sees only the sections you invite them to, and new suppliers can price without signing up first.

  4. 4

    Suppliers price it on one simple page

    Suppliers fill in a rate and lead time for each line, and their rates are saved as they go. Every answer lands in one comparison grid.

    A warning before a section goes unpriced

    If a section has no supplier price as your deadline approaches, Buzdesk warns you and lets you bring in more suppliers for that section alone, while it keeps chasing the ones already invited.

  6. 6

    You check it and click Send

    Before sending, Buzdesk lists anything worth a look, such as lines priced by hand. Sending freezes the quote and emails your client a secure link.

    What your client opens

    A clear quote with every line, quantity, rate and amount.
