A fire department gear care opportunity can be one of two things: a purchase of the gear extractor and dryer for the department to run, or a contract for a provider to clean the gear. The two are bid and won differently.
How the two differ
An equipment purchase buys the machines for the department to run, scored on the gear care capability and the approved equal. A cleaning service pays a provider to clean and inspect the gear, scored on the verification, the turnaround, and the care standard. The same department can choose either.
Why the distinction decides the pursuit
An equipment dealer wants the purchases and a service provider wants the contracts, and each wastes time on the other. The agent reads each gear care opportunity, classifies it as equipment or service, and routes it to the right business.
How the agent handles it
Our agent tells a gear cleaning service from an equipment purchase, scores each for the business you are in, and surfaces only the opportunities that fit, whether you sell machines or clean gear.
The agent separates the gear equipment buys from the cleaning service contracts and scores each. See the fire turnout gear bid agent in the interactive demo.
