Products specified correctly the first time, with up-to-date manufacturer data and the right SKU variant for the install.
Better installs.Start upstream.
When suppliers are aligned, jobs run smoother. Products arrive on time, installs stay clean, and customers feel the difference.
Supplier collaboration, Live
Live from the Specifi platform
// What collaboration changes
One.Workflow.
Most install issues aren't caused by poor workmanship — they're caused by supplier friction. Wrong product versions. Late deliveries. Unclear lead times. Last-minute substitutions. Specifi folds suppliers into the job instead of bolting them on after.
Supplier lead times surface inside the quote, so the install schedule is planned around delivery reality rather than best-case assumption.
Current stock and supplier alternatives are visible in-app. Engineers arrive with the right kit, not a near-enough swap.
Trade pricing fed directly from integrated suppliers. Margin calculations stay accurate even when the spec changes mid-design.
Suppliers maintain their own product data and pricing inside Specifi. Shared responsibility keeps information reliable without adding admin on your side.
Compare suppliers by price, lead time, and payment terms. Choose what best fits the job, the timeline, and the customer — not just what's fastest to quote.
// Outcomes
Why integratorsmake the switch.
01
Fewer delays
Supplier data is current so stock issues and long lead times surface at the quoting stage, not the install stage.
02
Fewer mid-install changes
When the spec is accurate upstream, the install team works to a plan instead of chasing substitutions on site.
03
More confidence on site
Engineers arrive with the right kit, cabling, and manuals. Callbacks drop, handover time shrinks, customers notice.
04
Accurate margins
Live supplier pricing feeds the profit calculation end-to-end. Margins reflect what the job actually costs, not what the spreadsheet assumed.
Commonquestions
Contact usDo my suppliers need a Specifi account?
Integrated suppliers get a portal login so they can maintain product data and pricing directly. The integrator side is transparent — you raise the PO inside Specifi and it routes through.
Does the supplier see my customer data?
No. Suppliers see the line items and delivery details they need to fulfil the PO. Customer records, margins, and other proposals stay private to your account.
What if a supplier we use isn't integrated yet?
Most major AV distributors are live. Where a supplier isn't yet connected we can import catalogues via CSV and add them to our integration roadmap. Let the onboarding team know which supplier you rely on.
Does collaboration cost extra?
No. Supplier collaboration is included on every Specifi plan. Integrators are charged per seat; suppliers are not charged at all — the value flows both ways.
