📢 Hammer Down the Right Contacts for Every Enquiry! 🔨
We’ve made it easier for subbies to control their profile contacts and help builders connect with the right people for every tender invitation.
🔧 What’s New?
- Subbies can now hide contacts that aren’t essential for tendering or procurement (e.g., admin or accounts staff)
- Hidden contacts won’t appear in contractor Address Books, reducing clutter and making it easier to find the right person
- Set primary contacts so invitations go to the right team members every time
💡
What This Means for You
For Subcontractors
- Fewer misdirected invites:Ensure contractors connect with the right team members, improving response times
- A cleaner, more direct profile:Make it easy for contractors to find key details fast while keeping your contact list professional and relevant
For Contractors
As part of our continuous uplift of the E1 Network, we’re focused on making it easier to find and connect with the right contacts when issuing RFQs, removing the guesswork and ensuring enquiries reach the right people. You’ll start to notice the following changes as subbies update primary contacts across their accounts, helping you manage a smarter, more connected Address Book.
- Less Address Book clutter:Only see key and relevant contacts when connecting with new subbies
- Faster, more effective invites:Get your tenders in front of the right people every time
- Improved response times:Fewer misdirected enquiries mean quicker replies from the right decision-makers
This update helps everyone save time, reduce confusion, and connect faster - because finding the right contact should be simple and stress-free.
