Building Smarter: How Wrk Automates Vendor Procurement at Scale
Brochure
Construction
Industry Snapshot
Procurement and project coordination in construction and development are complex by design — and chaotic in practice. Every build depends on a rotating cast of contractors, suppliers, and consultants, each with their own timelines, documentation, and communication habits. Yet the tools used to manage them often lag behind the pace of work.
Teams still rely heavily on spreadsheets, email threads, PDFs, and hallway conversations to track bids, collect compliance documents, and approve vendors. This creates a brittle foundation for multi-phase projects where oversight, accountability, and deadlines matter most.
The Challenge
Many construction and property development teams come to Wrk facing familiar friction:
Bid intake scattered across inboxes, folders, or disconnected systems
Compliance documents (e.g., insurance, union status) tracked manually or lost entirely
Delayed approvals and stalled timelines due to unclear handoffs
High-effort, low-visibility vendor follow-ups managed by already overburdened project managers
Poor traceability for audits, legal reviews, or stakeholder updates
The real challenge isn’t a lack of systems, but the lack of connection between them. Teams use what’s familiar, but as projects scale, the gaps widen: legal notices get missed, certifications expire unnoticed, approvals happen verbally or live in email silos. And most automation tools require teams to adopt entirely new platforms just to solve one part of the problem.
The Wrk Solution
Wrk connects what’s already in place, automating vendor and project workflows behind the scenes.
Rather than asking teams to learn new tools, Wrk integrates with existing systems like email, shared drives, ERPs, and compliance platforms to automate the invisible — but essential — coordination work:
Standardizing bid intake from email, folders, or intake forms
Verifying and tracking compliance documentation with automated expiry checks
Triggering vendor follow-ups for missing or outdated materials
Routing approvals to the right stakeholders and logging outcomes
Enforcing union or legal documentation policies in the background
When a task can’t be fully automated, Wrk brings in a human-in-the-loop to review, approve, or escalate, keeping momentum up and accountability clear.
