“The BCI system is comprehensive and is easy to use. When we do need clarification on a potential lead, we have found BCI researchers to be appropriately responsive and answer our queries precisely and with a minimum of fuss. Our only regret is that we did not adopt the CRM capabilities of the BCI system. The BCI system has proven to be even more valuable to our operations. Being a start-up company, it is important that our resources are allocated and used efficiently at all times. By using BCI, our estimators have been able to effectively request and compile accurate subcontractor and supplier quotations to produce a competitive tender on every occasion.”

- James Duignan, Managing Director - Mainstay Projects

“Sommer & Staff changed our Procurement System to BCI in September 2015. From the initial training to the present, the customer service that we have received is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Our queries are always answered promptly.”
