Win more bids.
Protect your margin.
Lowest price rarely means best value. Raiven weighs the full picture, from estimate to final purchase, so you win the bid and protect the margin.
Finding best value from supplier quotes eats hours you don't have
Materials are the second-largest cost on most jobs, right behind labor. Yet purchasing stays slow, manual, and fragmented.
Where the hours go
- Chasing suppliers for quote responses
- Re-keying quotes from PDFs and emails into spreadsheets
- Comparing price, freight, lead time, and availability by hand
Your options today
- Settle for whatever quote is easiest, and overpay
- Grind through quotes manually, job after job
Evaluate more than price. Stay in control of the decision.
Build the materials list once. Raiven sends quote requests to the suppliers you choose, including Raiven's contracted suppliers if you choose, automates follow-up tasks, and normalizes every quote as it comes back into your dashboard.
Then Raiven surfaces the top purchasing options based on your preferences. Your team is better informed and totally in control.
The same decision standard, from the office to the job site.
The platform

What is Raiven Best Value™?
Raiven Best Value™ finds the best purchasing option for the job or list, not just the cheapest one. It gathers and normalizes your supplier quotes, evaluates price alongside availability, lead time, freight, and supplier performance, and shows you the top scenarios with the original quote details behind them.
What trades does Raiven support?
Raiven is purpose-built for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and multi-trade service companies. Outside of these trades, our free Raiven Connect program might be a perfect option. Call us and we can discuss it with you.
How is this different from just picking the lowest price?
Raiven evaluates total value, not just the lowest unit price. It weighs price, freight, lead time, availability, supplier location, and delivery options together to find the best value for the job, rather than defaulting to whichever option looks cheapest on paper.
Does Raiven work with the suppliers we already use?
Yes. You can send requests to your own trusted suppliers, Raiven's curated supplier network, or both, on the same platform.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. We guarantee your subscription pays for itself.
How much does Raiven cost?

Yes. Raiven Mobile gives every technician the same best-value intelligence, right from the job site, whether the best option is pickup, delivery, or a parts runner.
