Professional contractor procurement made simple
Proly automates procurement in construction, from project documents to contract. Get full control of every purchase, cost estimate and supplier across your whole organisation. All in one place.
From need to signed contract
Describe the project and Proly drafts a procurement plan. You can review the plan before you find suppliers, send requests for tender and compare bids.
Everything included in one procurement
Request for tender, bid submission, comparison, clarifications and contract. No modules to choose, nothing extra to buy.
A request written from the documents
The line items from the procurement plan, deadline, requirements and contact person are gathered in one request. You read it through and send it.
Bidders reply in the same structure
Suppliers price the line items in a shared template through a single link, without creating an account. Free for them, comparable for you.
Clarifications on the right line item
Questions and answers stay on the line item they concern, and carry over into the contract.
Deviations and reservations are priced
Reservations are flagged and priced, so the lowest number doesn't win because something was left unclear.
Draft contracts based on NS standards
The draft builds on the chosen bid and the clarifications, starting from NS 8405, 8406 or 8407.
The lowest price isn't always the best bid

The bids are normalised into the same structure. Deviations in price, quantities and environment are flagged. Company B has the lowest price. Weaker HSE, environment and delivery capability mean Company A wins overall. Company C has a reservation on price indexation that may raise the price.
Trade, environmental and administrative requirements follow the contract all the way down
Register the requirements on the project once. Proly links them to the right trade and carries them into requests for tender and contracts.

Higher margins at companies with a professional procurement function.
One platform for the whole construction value chain
Almost everyone in the industry both buys and bids. When one level procures in Proly, the project carries on to the next automatically. Nobody has to set up the same project again.
Client (byggherre) and developer
Buyer
Defines the project and chooses the contractor. Documents, assessments and decisions stay in the same procurement.
