Unique Services Bring In New Business London

New Causeway Directory subscriber J and C Brown has won business via the Directory's unique Project Alert and Enquiry Alert services.

Causeway Technologies, a leading supplier of collaborative, commercial and supply-chain software solutions to the construction industry, is helping new Causeway Directory subscriber J and C Brown win more business via the Directory's unique Project Alert and Enquiry Alert services.

Causeway Directory is the UK's only comprehensive online directory for providing up-to-date information on subcontractors and suppliers.

Witham-based subcontractor J and C Brown, specialists in concrete repairs, diamond drilling, crack injection and industrial flooring, reports that in the first six months of use, the standard of the projects it received has improved dramatically.

Providing an online network of construction-related firms, with a comprehensive supply-chain database that provides up-to-date information on each vendor, the Directory features a unique indicator service designed to inform users of the status of the subcontractors and suppliers being sourced.

The service uses an electronic questionnaire to check, verify and maintain specific details on vendors, including address and contact information, insurance details, CIS, CSCS, SHE and turnover.

To make identification easy, those companies who have not returned questionnaires are indicated in red, companies whose details are being processed are highlighted in amber; while companies whose details have been checked and approved have 'green' records.

All companies with green records have priority in search results, making selecting compliant companies much easier.

"I am extremely pleased with the quality of the projects we are receiving through Causeway Directory," said Kimber Brown, director at J and C Brown.

"As a direct consequence of using the service, we have recently secured a £140,000 job via an Enquiry Alert, and in the last week we have received three excellent tender enquiries." In addition, Causeway's Enquiry Alert helps J and C Brown to manage vendor pre-enquiries.

This feature allows companies to source and select suppliers, or subcontractors, to whom it wishes to send tenders or enquiries.

Not only does the system dramatically speed up the enquiry process, but it significantly reduces document distribution costs.

Causeway's Project Alert service is also identifying potential business opportunities from a vast database of UK construction developments.

Updated weekly, the data is always timely and accurate, ensuring subscribers receive the right data at the right time.

J and C Brown decided to subscribe to the Directory because of the high quality of Causeway's products and services, and innovations such as the Status Indicator Service.

Brown concludes: "Causeway's software systems just get better and better.

This, combined with their hands-on approach and one-to-one customer service, convinced us that Causeway was the right choice.

They have delivered exactly what they said they would." -ends- Background information About Causeway Technologies Causeway Technologies is a leading supplier of collaborative, commercial, and supply chain solutions to the global construction industry, meeting the needs of enterprises, projects, and trading partnerships.
