Make material demand visible before it becomes a purchase commitment.
MPANDO HUB helps teams distinguish a material request from a supplier quotation, approved order and actual receipt. Procurement records can connect project demand, item details, price history, RFQ responses, commercial approvals and purchase orders. This gives buyers and suppliers a more precise basis for the next decision.

Compare delivered scope, not only the unit price
A useful construction purchasing demo starts with one real decision. Use a fictional material package to follow the requirement, supplier response and approval before discussing additional modules.
Set a common basis
For illustration, both suppliers offer 100 units of the same approved specification. Supplier A quotes 50 per unit plus 200 delivery: 5,200 in total. Supplier B quotes 51 per unit with delivery included: 5,100. These are sample figures in one currency, excluding tax and installation; they are not live supplier prices.
Check what could change the comparison
Confirm the unit and pack size, product reference, quantity, delivery location, unloading, lead time, payment terms and offer validity. A cheaper total is not equivalent if it omits required fittings or proposes an unapproved substitute.
Keep the decision and its evidence together
Take the chosen offer and its current revision into the HUB demonstration. Ask the buyer, site lead and approver to review their respective steps. Agree which records, permissions and approval rules are included in your implementation.
Questions about this workflow
How can we compare supplier quotations on a fair basis?
Compare the same specification, quantity and unit, then review delivery, freight, taxes, payment terms, validity and proposed alternatives. Keep exclusions visible. The lowest unit price may describe a different delivered scope. Use a sample request with two offers in the HUB demo and agree who can approve a supplier or a changed condition.
Can a past purchase price be treated as today's supplier offer?
A historical price provides context; it is not a current quotation. Check the date, currency, quantity, specification and delivery terms before using it for a new decision. Ask the supplier to confirm the current offer and follow the approval step before creating a purchase commitment.
What is the difference between a construction RFQ and an RFI?
An RFQ asks a supplier to price a defined requirement, normally with quantities, specifications and delivery terms. An RFI asks for information or clarification, such as resolving an incomplete drawing or product requirement. Clarify the technical need before comparing prices. HUB's procurement offer includes supplier RFQs; a separate design-RFI management workflow should be confirmed in the agreed module scope.
What should we check when a supplier changes a quotation after approval?
Identify the previous and revised offer, the changed specification or commercial term, the affected quantities and the person responsible for a new decision. A revised quotation does not by itself revise an issued purchase order. Use this exception in the demonstration and agree how your team records approval, communicates the change and retains the earlier reference.

We stand behind every product we supply and every service we deliver. All supplied products and services are backed by warranty commitments for the agreed scope. Coverage, duration, conditions and the remedy process vary by product and work and are set out in the quotation, contract or applicable warranty document.
Product coverage, installation workmanship and digital-service commitments are described separately where appropriate. Software and digital-twin work is assessed against the agreed functions, deliverables and acceptance criteria. An ongoing support plan, availability commitment or later content change is specified separately. Applicable statutory rights are not reduced.
For warranty or aftercare assistance, email [email protected] with the project or order reference, product or service, delivery date and a description of the issue. Add relevant photographs or screenshots without passwords or unrelated personal data. We review the information, clarify any inspection needed and coordinate the appropriate next step under the applicable terms.
