Untangling the tender process in construction

At Lithos I mapped the tender process to find where the time and errors were concentrated. Much of the work repeated on every bid: documents spread across multiple folders, content copied from the previous bid, and stakeholders adding input at different stages.

I standardized and automated the repeating work so the team produces a bid without reassembling the same documents each time. Removing the duplicated steps shortened the process and made each bid’s status easier to track.

I wrote up the full story here: Simplifying the tender process at Lithos.
