Facilities management
Many sites, many buyers, one price list
Facilities management procurement spans dozens of physical locations and site managers ordering against master service contracts. TackQuote enforces corporate entitlements, caps order authority per buyer, and prevents off-contract spend.
Why general-purpose quote tools fail in facilities management
Facilities management organizations face significant financial leak when local site managers order off-contract supplies or exceed authorized spending caps without corporate oversight.
TackQuote structures multi-site procurement into controlled buying groups. Corporate managers define master price agreements and buyer order limits once. Site managers order only approved items within their authorized spending caps, while exceptions route for instant corporate sign-off.
Challenges & Solutions
Common quoting friction, and what happens in TackQuote
How sales teams in facilities management eliminate bottlenecks and protect margins.
Every site buyer needs their own entitlements maintained.
Buying groups give one shared catalog and price set to all of an organisation’s buyers.
Site staff order beyond their authority.
Order limits cap value per buyer and send anything above the cap for approval.
Off-contract spend is only found in hindsight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about quoting for facilities management
How do buying groups simplify multi-site facilities procurement?
Buying groups allow you to link dozens of individual site accounts to one parent organization. All site buyers automatically inherit the master contract pricing and catalog rules.
What happens when a site manager tries to place an order exceeding their budget limit?
TackQuote automatically places the order in a "Pending Approval" state and notifies designated regional managers to approve or decline the purchase.
Can we restrict site buyers from viewing unapproved product categories?
Yes. Per-customer catalog rules allow you to restrict product visibility so site buyers can only view and quote items included in their active contract.
