Procurement that closes the loop on every cost
From tender to invoice, Methvin unifies estimating, vendor relationships, correspondence and job costing so nothing leaks through the cracks on complex construction projects.
Why procurement teams choose Methvin
Connected data from every module — costs, schedule, pipeline and projects — surfaces the insights that drive commercial outcomes.
Estimate-linked purchasing
Every purchase order traces directly to a line item in your original estimate, so variances are visible the moment they occur — not weeks later in a reconciliation meeting.
Centralised vendor relationships
Maintain a live CRM of subcontractors and suppliers, complete with prequalification scores, contact history and past performance data to accelerate every future RFQ.
Auditable correspondence trail
All RFIs, instructions and approvals pass through Methvin's correspondence module so your commercial team always has a complete, timestamped record in one place.
Real-time job cost reporting
Compare committed, actual and forecast costs against budget at any point in the project lifecycle — giving commercial managers the live visibility they need to act early.
Tools built for every stage of procurement
Methvin's integrated modules cover the full commercial workflow, from first estimate through to final account.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Methvin's procurement and commercial control capabilities.
How does Methvin connect estimating to job costing?
When you build an estimate in Methvin, every line item is tagged to a cost code. As purchase orders are raised and invoices processed, they post automatically against those cost codes so your job cost report updates in real time with no manual re-entry.
Can I distribute RFQs to vendors outside Methvin?
Yes. You can invite subcontractors and suppliers to respond to RFQ packages via a secure guest link — they don't need a Methvin account. Responses are captured in a structured quote matrix for side-by-side comparison and award.
Does Methvin's CRM handle vendor prequalification?
Methvin's vendor CRM includes configurable prequalification workflows. You can set required documents, licence types and insurance thresholds, and the system flags expired or missing credentials before a vendor is invited to quote.
What types of correspondence does Methvin track?
The correspondence module handles RFIs, site instructions, variation requests, approval notices, NCRs and general project communications. All items are date-stamped, allocated to the relevant party and escalated if responses are overdue.
Does Methvin integrate with accounting software?
Methvin integrates with common construction accounting platforms so committed costs, purchase orders and invoices flow across without manual re-keying. Speak to our team about your specific accounting environment during the onboarding process.
Can multiple commercial managers work on the same project simultaneously?
Absolutely. Methvin is a cloud-based platform designed for concurrent multi-user access. Role-based permissions mean you can control exactly what each team member can view, edit or approve across the procurement and cost management modules.
