Quote analysis

 

Quote analysis: AI enabled, estimator-led

We all know the pressure. It’s the final days of a tender, your inbox is overflowing, and you’re sifting through a dozen quotes in different formats, each with its own inclusions, exclusions, and risks. You need to be thorough, but the clock is ticking and you can’t afford to miss a critical scope gap.

This is where we saw a real tangible opportunity for AI to help, not hinder. Our new AI-powered Quote Analysis accelerates the time-consuming analysis:

  • Standardises your quote documents and pulls the information into one clean side by side view
  • Flags packages with significant scope or price discrepancies that require your expert review
  • Generates targeted clarification lists for faster subcontractor responses

What’s new

Connection suggestions: maintain accurate, up-to-date Address Book data

Keep your Address Book accurate and up to date by syncing contacts with real-time subcontractor profiles in the E1 Network. With the new Connection Suggestions tab, you can connect all matching contacts at scale with a single click.

Instantly enrich your Address Book with automatically updated details, giving you the latest contact and company information across your supply chain for more reliable decision-making when inviting and awarding work.

Security: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified

We’re proud to share that we are now ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, the global standard for information security. Security has always been core to how we build and this accreditation is another step forward in keeping your information even safer. Please note, there is no action required on your end.

What this means for you:

    • Our Information Security Management System (ISMS) meets strict requirements for safeguarding data, managing risks, and building resilience.
    • Stronger protection of your data
    • Compliance with international best practices

New Invite experience: Updates and improvements since launch

We’ve continued to enhance the new Invite experience, guided by your direct feedback:

  • Search companies directly within the invite flow

  • See company distance from your project site for better context

  • Contacts ordered by responsiveness to help you reach the right people faster

  • Clear visibility of Preferred and Primary contacts

  • Navigation shortcuts to minimise scrolling and speed up invites

Coverage Dashboard: A new visual interface to quickly assess trade coverage

Designed to give you complete visibility over quote coverage across all trade packages on a project. Think of it like a live coverage tracker, modelled on the spreadsheets you already use, but colour coded, automated & embedded in your tender workflow, all with real-time information.

  • Quickly gauge coverage: See how many quotes you’ve got on each trade package, which ones are looking light, and what needs attention.
  • Spot and act on gaps early: Identify where you’re exposed, and get ahead of it with timely follow up or extra outreach.
