Piping Procurement in EPCs is Broken

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

Guesswork Estimates

1.5 $/kg for CS, 3 $/kg for SS? That's a gamble, not a bid.

MTO Chaos

Inconsistent specs, different formats. You'll find errors at site.

Email Overload

8 suppliers, 8 Excel layouts. Result: TBE_final_v3_FINAL2.xlsx

TQ Loop

"What's the SCH for WN Flange 6"?" The project bleeds time, one question at a time.

Duplicated ERP Codes

Same elbow, three codes. One per project. No retrospective analysis possible.

No Audit Trail

Audit asks why you picked Supplier X. You search your inbox from March.

The Solution: PipingBid

From MTO to PO. Fully automated.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from ARIBA?
ARIBA is generic procurement. It moves documents 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.
How much does it cost?
Low setup fees with fast payback. Variable costs based on volume: you pay per API call to the normalization engine. No fixed annual license. Suppliers use the platform for free.
Does it integrate with SAP / Oracle?
Yes. Standard connectors for SAP MM, Oracle Procurement Cloud, and Microsoft Dynamics. POs flow directly into your ERP. Custom integrations available via API.
How fast can we go live?
First RFQ within a week. Full rollout with ERP integration: 4-8 weeks. Start with one project, prove value, then expand.
Who owns the data?
You do. 100%. We provide the source code for your tenant. All data stays on your infrastructure. API calls are anonymous. Your data, your control.
What about our existing suppliers?
They use PipingBid for free. No training needed: they receive RFQs by email and quote in an Excel-like interface. They can also copy/paste from their own systems. Adoption is fast because there's zero friction.
Why does the platform flag non-standard products?
Non-standard specs mean longer lead times, higher costs, and procurement headaches. The normalizer flags items that deviate from ASME/EN standards so engineering can review before it becomes a purchase order. Catch errors early, not at site.
