Sometimes you need prices just from your regular subs and suppliers, and other times you may need to reach out to a broader audience to get prices. Either way, you need to communicate the request downstream, get the plans & specifications to them, and hope to receive competitive pricing preferably in a standard format. FTP sites are a nightmare to manage, and do not provide any useful tracking and communication tools. Invitation to Bid (ITB) software can be expensive for you and your subs, and does not provide you with meaningful access to subs, suppliers and manufacturers outside of your known network.
