The Pain with Piping Procurement

20% of project cost. 70% of procurement headaches.

Bidding

Blind Estimates

You guess by weight or dig up old project prices. But commodities move: nickel, chrome, moly. Last year's stainless price is today's losing bid.

Weeks of Work, Maybe Lost

Your team spends 2-3 weeks estimating materials. You might not even win. All that effort, gone.

Small Line, Big Risk

Piping looks small at 20% of project cost. But a 15% estimation error here can flip your entire project margin from profit to loss.

Execution

Endless Clarifications

Specs incomplete or wrong. Suppliers ask questions, buyers clarify, back and forth. Dozens of emails per RFQ. Each one is a day lost.

Manual MTO Split

5,000 line items split by hand. AVL lookup one by one. One person does it, everyone waits 3 days.

8 Suppliers = 8 Formats

Each supplier quotes in their own format. Different units, currencies, line order. Comparing apples to helicopters.

Manual TBE/CBE in Excel

Copy-paste from 10 supplier PDFs. One wrong cell = wrong supplier wins. "TBE_final_v3_FINAL2.xlsx"

Costly Idle Time

Engineering waits. Fabrication waits. Site waits. Slow procurement means delayed milestones, penalties, and budget overruns.

No Audit Trail

"Why did we pick Supplier X?" Decision buried in someone's inbox from 2 years ago. Auditor asks, you scramble.

Post-Project

Unusable Excess Stock

Project ends with 15% surplus materials. No clear specs, no traceability. Can't sell it. Money locked in rust for years.

ERP Chaos

Items from old and new projects all mixed together in your ERP. No consistent codes, no traceability. Spend analysis? Impossible.

Our Solution

One platform. All three phases covered.

Bidding

Budget prices in minutes

  • ✓ Upload your preliminary MTO, get budget prices for every line item
  • ✓ No waiting for suppliers. No chasing quotes.
  • ✓ Prices tied to today's LME nickel, chrome, moly rates
  • ✓ "Nickel expected to rise 8% in 6 months" - we show you that

Execution

Fully automated workflow

  • 1. Engineering uploads MTO from 3D model
  • 2. System normalizes every line item
  • 3. RFQs go out to your approved suppliers
  • 4. Suppliers quote online, structured format
  • 5. System generates TBE/CBE automatically
  • 6. You pick the winner, PO flows to ERP

Post-Project

Full traceability

  • ✓ Every PO issued with unique product codes. Clarity.
  • ✓ Leftover stock? You know exactly what it is. Sell it or reuse it.
  • ✓ "How much did we spend on duplex fittings?" Now you can answer.

Common Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from EPC procurement teams.

How is this different from ARIBA?
ARIBA is generic procurement. It moves documents around but doesn't understand what's inside them. We normalize piping specs: a "6 inch seamless X42" and a "DN150 SMLS API5L X42" become the same product code. That's why you can compare quotes fairly, catch errors before they cost you money, and stop duplicating material codes in your ERP.
How much does it cost?
Low setup fees with fast payback. Then variable costs based on volume: you pay per API call to the normalization engine, the core of the platform. No fixed annual license. You scale up or down with your project load. Suppliers use the platform for free.
Who owns the data?
You do. 100%. We provide the source code for your tenant. All data stays on your infrastructure, invisible to us. API calls are anonymous: we process the normalization request and return the result. We never see your MTOs, your prices, your suppliers. Your data, your control.
Does it integrate with SAP / Oracle?
Yes. We have standard connectors for SAP MM, Oracle Procurement Cloud, and Microsoft Dynamics. POs flow directly into your ERP. Material master sync keeps your codes aligned. If you use a different ERP, we build custom integrations via API.
How fast can we go live?
You can run your first RFQ within a week. Full rollout with ERP integration and supplier onboarding typically takes 4-8 weeks. We don't require a big-bang approach: start with one project, prove value, then expand.
What about our existing suppliers?
You keep your AVL. You map your approved vendors to our product categories in a couple of hours. Example: "Acme Pipes → Seamless Pipes, Fittings BW". Done. RFQs route automatically to the right suppliers. They join for free and actually prefer it: no ambiguous specs, no clarification emails, structured quoting.
