Googling and checking portals
You find what you search for, on the day you happen to search. Tenders and permits sit public for weeks before anyone on your team types the right words.
Found three weeks too late.Why Modou
Every construction project stalls somewhere. That is when you call.
Modou reads the public documents where that happens and turns the moment it stalls into the reason you call today.
The old way
How teams find projects today.
Four ways most teams hear about new business, and why you hear about each one late.
Referrals and word of mouth
The best channel there is, when it happens. You can't plan for it, and your next big project won't wait for a friendly phone call.
You can't schedule luck.Tender newsletters
Everyone on the list gets the same tenders at the same time. Nothing in there knows what you build, what you've already won, or which ones actually fit you.
Same list as your competitors.Expensive prospecting tools
Databases full of companies, not of moments. You still do the digging, and by the time a company shows up in a list, everyone else can see it too.
You pay to hear late.Real projects, real output
The projects you almost missed.
Before and after, side by side. These are illustrative examples of what Modou finds and writes, built to show you exactly what lands in your feed.
“why do we keep finding out about the BREEAM requirement too late”
Illustrative example
Before Modou
| Name | Status | What happened | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warehouse conversion, Rotterdam | Quote sent | no reply in 5 weeks | certification unclear |
| Care home extension | First contact made | never asked about BREEAM | certification unclear |
| Office fit out, phase 2 | Not yet quoted | found the registration by chance | certification unclear |
| Retail unit refurbishment | Quote sent | unaware a certificate was targeted | certification unclear |
4 quotes out this quarter, none checked against the BREEAM-NL register before they were sent
After Modou
modou07:22Certification requirement flagged early
Modou reads the BREEAM-NL project register for newly listed certifications.
• Distribution centre, Tilburg: registered for a BREEAM-NL Excellent certificate
• Every material and system that earns an assessment credit becomes a real requirement for whoever supplies this build, not a nice to have
Flagged in your feed with the register entry, the certification level, and who to call about the specification.
Not only outside
Modou doesn't only search outside. It knows who you already know.
Modou also watches project signals inside your network, for people you already know: a past client starting a new build, an architect you have worked with, a contact who just moved to a new project.
Outside your network
New names, new projects, found in public documents you would otherwise never see.
Inside your network
A signal at a company or person you already know, so the next project reaches you before anyone else hears about it.
You stay in charge
It finds boldly. It acts carefully.
Modou searches everywhere for your next project, and never takes a big step without you.
- Drafts, never surprises
Every first contact starts as a draft waiting for your yes. Nothing goes out without it.
- Everything on record
Everything Modou does sits in your activity log, with what it did, why, and when.
- Every yes teaches it
Each approval and each skip becomes one of your rules, so next week's finds fit you better.
