Saqara, the French leader in the digitalization of B2B private works tenders, celebrates its 9th anniversary

The digitalization of the construction industry now extends to the upstream phases of projects, particularly calls for tenders and construction procurement. Saqara is developing a SaaS platform for clients, project owners, general contractors, project managers, project management assistance providers, manufacturers, and suppliers, to improve the traceability of exchanges, automate tasks, secure data, and optimize the selection of companies for quality work at a fair price.

The tendering phase: a strategic lever for contracting authorities

In a construction project, the tendering phase directly influences the cost, schedule, and quality of the work. For clients, general contractors, project managers, and project management consultants, this stage often remains complex, time-consuming, and poorly equipped.

The digitalization of calls for tenders now makes it possible to:

ensure complete traceability of exchanges
automate administrative tasks
compare offers more easily
improve technical and financial analyses
securing the choice of companies

These issues have become central in a context of cost pressures, skills shortages and increasingly complex projects.

More than one billion euros pass through AOS every month.

A SaaS platform dedicated to business consultations and construction procurement

Saqara (formerly AOS) publishes a SaaS platform specializing in private construction tenders. It supports clients, general contractors and project management assistance providers from the sourcing of companies to the contracting process.

The company develops several complementary software programs:

AOS, for managing calls for tenders for works
Chantierprive.fr, a platform of opportunities for construction companies
Supplier Portal, a solution for qualifying and tracking companies

The Supplier Portal integrates APIs from data providers such as ILG, ALG, and Pappers, as well as accounts receivable tracking to calculate dependency ratios. The goal is to better assess risks and secure suppliers' choices.

Automation, traceability and comparison of offers

The Saqara platform allows for the structuring of the entire tendering process:

centralization of documents (DCE, CCTP, CCAG, DPGF, DEVIS…)
dissemination of consultations
Receiving and analyzing bids (TCO)
monitoring of exchanges with companies
electronic signature (auction)

All exchanges are tracked within the platform, improving transparency and the security of decisions. Repetitive tasks are automated, allowing the research, procurement, and construction teams to focus on analyzing bids and making technical decisions.

This allows clients to more easily compare proposals, challenge technical choices, products, materials or companies, and obtain better economic and technical results.

More efficient sourcing and a less risky choice of companies

Saqara relies on a structured database of construction companies and on data from external APIs to improve sourcing and secure consultations.

This approach allows:

to identify the companies best suited to each batch
to analyze their financial situation and their customer dependence
to compare offers based on objective criteria (internal ratings, CSR ratings, etc.)
to reduce the risk in the choice of companies

Tenders thus become decision-making tools, based on reliable and comparable data.

Data segregation and security for clients

Data security is a key concern for clients. Saqara is a trusted third party that applies a strict principle of data segregation.

This approach guarantees:

the confidentiality of consultations, budgets, and choices
total control related to the GDPR
data control by clients
a high level of security

A platform to better manage the upstream processes of construction

By centralizing tenders, company data and analyses, Saqara aims to improve the performance of upstream construction processes.

The platform allows clients, general contractors and project management assistance providers to:

to structure their calls for tenders
to automate repetitive tasks
to improve traceability
to compare offers more effectively
to source the best companies
to reduce risk in choices through data

This development confirms that the digitalization of the construction industry now begins well before the first shovel hits the ground.

Presence at Digital Twin | Bimworld Paris 2026

Saqara will be present at the ConstructionTech Village, by Digital Twin | Bimworld, on April 1st and 2nd, 2026 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The event brings together 60 startups, institutional partners (CCCA-BTP, CAPEB, FFB, CFA, Compagnons du Devoir, Action21.fr) and major players in the construction industry to discuss the challenges of the sector's digital transformation (ONCE FOR ALL, ORISHA).
