Procurement
Close the gap between bid leveled and material on site.
Walter converts awarded scopes into subcontracts and POs, maintains the long-lead register with order-by deadlines, tracks vendor delivery commitments against the schedule, and drafts expediting actions when items go at risk. Executing commitments stays human.
The problem
What this costs you today — and what Walter does instead.
The pain
Long-lead items get ordered too late and become the reason an activity slips.
With Walter
Walter maintains a long-lead register with required-on-site dates and order-by deadlines computed from fabrication and shipping lead times.
The pain
Subcontract scope sheets don't match what was leveled, and exclusions surface in the field.
With Walter
Scope sheets are reconciled to the leveling sheet before execution, so surviving exclusions are flagged — not discovered later.
The pain
A vendor slips a ship date and nobody recomputes the schedule risk.
With Walter
Deliveries feed schedule activities; any slip immediately recomputes activity risk and escalates if it touches critical path.
The workflow
How Walter runs it.
- 01
Buyout
Draft the subcontract or PO from the leveled package with flow-downs, insurance requirements, and schedule exhibits; track buyout vs. budget.
- 02
Long-lead register
Maintain the long-lead list with on-site dates, lead times, and order-by deadlines, showing dependency chains for items not yet releasable.
- 03
Delivery tracking
Record vendor commitments as deliveries that feed activities; chase confirmations at order, fabrication, and pre-ship milestones.
- 04
Expedite
For at-risk items, draft vendor escalation letters, alternate-supplier checks, and resequence proposals.
- 05
Receive
Match deliveries against POs and flag over/short/damage the same day with field photos.
Human in the loop
What stays your call.
- Executing subcontracts and POs is human-only and never graduates.
- No notice-to-proceed draft until COI verification passes contract compliance.
- Vendor ship dates are recorded with provenance — written confirmations outrank verbal, conflicts surfaced.
What you get
Outputs.
- Subcontract and PO drafts
