What’s holding suppliers back from winning more jobs?

Manual takeoffs are eating up your time and costing you bids

Beam AI

Manual takeoffs slow down bidding and hurt profitability

Manual takeoffs are time-intensive, especially with large-scale or multiple projects. Suppliers struggle to generate accurate material lists quickly enough, leading to missed opportunities and rushed estimates that negatively impact profitability.

Beam AI

Managing multiple subcontractor bids becomes inefficient

Handling dozens or even hundreds of subcontractor bids for the same project manually slows down the process, making it impossible to scale efficiently. Delays frustrate subcontractors, pushing them to turn to faster competitors.
