Alci logged the villa compound ITT, extracted the BOQ and assigned estimators.
Why sales stall in construction.
The same problems come up in almost every company we meet in this industry.
Estimators price from last year's spreadsheets while material and labour costs have moved.
Site instructions are agreed verbally and forgotten by the time the payment application goes out.
Interim payment applications wait weeks for supporting documents nobody can find.
“I rebuild the same rate build-ups for every tender.”
“I find out about cost overruns at the monthly review.”
“We lose money on every variation we forget to claim.”
How Synclo CRM grows sales in construction.
Five practical ways, each with a real-world example of Alci at work.
Bid on the tenders you can win
Every ITT is logged with deadline, value, client and scope. Alci checks your win rate with that client, current workload and margin target before you commit estimators.
In practiceAlci recommends passing on a fast-track tower bid because your concrete crews are fully booked until Q3 and past win rate with that client is 15%.
Price with live costs
Estimates pull current material prices, supplier quotes and actual labour productivity from your past projects.
In practice"Price 4,200 m3 of concrete for the warehouse." Alci uses last month's supplier rates and your actual pour productivity on two similar jobs.
Claim every variation
Site instructions, photos and approvals are logged on site from a phone and linked to the contract, so nothing is forgotten at billing time.
In practiceA foreman logs an instruction to relocate drainage. Alci prices it from the rate schedule and adds it to next month's payment application.
Faster payment applications
Progress, measurements, variations and supporting documents assemble into the application automatically.
In practiceThe monthly payment application is ready on day 2 instead of day 12, with every photo and approval attached.
Repeat clients, not one-off jobs
Track every developer and consultant relationship, past performance and upcoming projects, so your BD team calls before the tender is out.
In practiceAlci reminds you that a developer you delivered for in 2024 has just bought a new plot.
