Sourcing equipment and services is a constant part of construction, and it’s rarely simple. Between chasing quotes, explaining job details multiple times, and juggling emails and phone calls, procurement can quickly become one of the most time-consuming parts of a project.
Introducing Gofer - a new AI-powered assistant designed to make sourcing easier, faster, and more organised for construction teams.
What is Gofer?
Gofer is an AI-powered procurement assistant built to help construction teams source equipment and services without the usual admin and back-and-forth.
Instead of manually searching for suppliers or managing long email threads, you can tell Gofer what you need in plain language. From there, Gofer helps create a structured job request, connects it with relevant suppliers, and keeps everything in one place.
It’s designed to support real construction workflows, whether you’re planning ahead or trying to move quickly on a live job.
