Contractor Foreman has no visibility into Quebec public tenders. SubmitX watches the SEAO and alerts you to relevant contracts automatically.
Contractor Foreman doesn't know CCQ rates or filings. SubmitX applies the correct rate by trade and classification automatically and generates monthly reports.
Describe the project in plain language and SubmitX generates a complete, priced bid — a step Contractor Foreman leaves fully manual.
Native TPS/TVQ invoicing, Canadian data hosting, Loi 25 compliance — not a US tool with Canadian customers bolted on.
A 5,900+ item Quebec materials catalogue and AI takeoff from PDF plans, built specifically for how Quebec contractors price work.
Contractor Foreman plus a separate CCQ payroll tool and SEAO tracking adds up. SubmitX includes all of it in one subscription.
