It’s easy to keep up with the negotiation processes, up to the final signing of the contract and the renegotiation of conditions.

The PRIMAVERA Construction solution simplifies the systematisation of information on the various phases of negotiation for each work, project or tender. Using the link to the CRM (Customer Relationship Management), you can quickly organise contacts, log the activities carried out, file documents, manage the value of the bids and analyse information on your competition.

Easily structure the various resources that will be used on a job. Get a precise calculation of the costs of execution and speed up the request for quotes before streamlining the comparison of bids.

As an example, with this solution you quickly see the weight an alteration in the unit price of a resource would have on the overall budget. And you can just as simply see what the resulting gain would be from a percentage discount or what the consequences would be of an increase in the cost/hour for a category of personnel.

Do away with the administrative processes that hinder productivity. With PRIMAVERA Construction you can automatically award orders based on the quotations, and directly create subcontracted jobs from the project clauses or following calls for prices.
