What they’re building

Sales teams at building materials manufacturers spend much of their time on tenders and quotes. Tendos's AI agents find tenders, read incoming emails and bills of quantities, match the requirements to the product catalogue, and draft quotes and orders in the existing CRM and ERP systems.

Customers include Wilo, Grundfos, Hansgrohe, Spelsberg, KSB and Kermi.
