What’s coming

(Beta) New & Improved: Invitations flow
In the coming weeks, we’re gearing up to beta release our new and improved invitations flows across the app. The new invitations experience puts greater access, visibility, and control in your hands when it comes to subcontractor selection and pricing. Bringing together your Address Book and the E1 Network into a single, streamlined view when issuing invitations. Over time, these new flows will replace the current invitations processes available through the ‘New Project Wizard’ and the ‘Invitations & Responses’ page.

What’s been recently delivered

Customise and save ‘Invites & Responses’ format

Your filters, sorts, and display preferences in the ‘Invitations & Responses’ table are now automatically saved for each project. This means you can pick up exactly where you left off, stay organised, and work faster without needing to constantly reset your setup.

Enable customisation of ‘Invites & Responses’ Excel report

Choose exactly which columns you want included in your ‘Invites & Responses’ Excel exports. Your selections will be remembered for next time, saved on a per-user basis. This makes it easier to export only the data you need, work faster in Excel, and keep your reporting clean, focused, and tailored to you.

See subcontractor activity before you connect (E1 Network)

You can now view key activity data on a subcontractor’s profile in the E1 Network prior to connecting with them. See when they were last active on E1 and when they last updated their profile, giving you the context you need to make more informed connection and engagement decisions.

What we’re exploring

We’re committed to making the day-to-day usage of our tendering tools even more effective for builders as we explore larger initiatives including:

  • Tender Handover into Procore. Seamlessly handover awarded projects from E1 including documents and quotes, directly into Procore.
  • New ways to monitor trade coverage across all packages at a company-level
  • Centralising correspondence with your supply chain to create a single source of truth
  • AI-powered workflows to faster identify risks, scope gaps, and discrepancies in subcontractor quotes
  • Doc syncing from Sharepoint to E1 tender workflows

We help builders de-risk and speed up tender send-outs.
