Costs are indicative and should be confirmed with each provider; several price on quotation. Redistributing licensed data (e.g. construction project leads) to installers needs the provider’s licence.
Where to start: suggested order
The three steps that turn this catalogue into a plan, in the order the value arrives.
1
Free government data and the core systems first
Nothing to buy and nothing to negotiate: the public registers, the ERP and the trade website. It proves the pipeline and reconciles the figures before any licence is signed.
2
Credit and tender intelligence
These two protect the order book and open renewals before they are advertised, so they pay for themselves first. Both need an agreement, so start the conversation early.
3
Construction project leads and installer job-management integrations
The biggest investments and the biggest prizes: leads months earlier, and Long Lever Supply inside the installer’s daily workflow. They need a licence or a partner agreement, so they follow once the platform has earned its place.
