The challenge

Finding tenders had become a full-time job

The company bids on security, manpower and CCTV contracts across Pakistan. Finding those tenders was a daily manual job.

  1. 01

    Many portals, every day

    The sales team opened federal and provincial procurement portals one by one, each with its own layout and search.

  2. 02

    Tenders were missed

    With so many sources, relevant tenders were sometimes found late or not at all.

  3. 03

    Scattered data

    Tenders lived in browser tabs, inboxes and personal spreadsheets, with no single view for management.

  4. 04

    Time spent searching, not bidding

    Skilled staff spent their mornings searching instead of preparing competitive bids.

The solution

TenderIQ, running on the client's own PC, around the clock

Funtash deployed TenderIQ on the client's own PC as a hands-off service that runs day and night.

  1. 9 portals + tender emails
  2. AI relevance filter
  3. Google Sheet
  4. ERP upload
  5. Email alert

9 portals monitored

Automated, scheduled checks of federal and provincial procurement portals.

Secure EPADS login

Signs in to the client's EPADS vendor account to read tenders behind the login, with credentials stored encrypted.
